This paper introduces a new family of distributions based on the additive model structure. Three submodels of the proposed family are studied in detail. Two simulation studies were performed to discuss the maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters. The log location-scale regression model based on a new generalization of the Weibull distribution is introduced. Three datasets were used to show the importance of the proposed family. Based on the empirical results, we concluded that the proposed family is quite competitive compared to other models.

This paper introduces a new class of distributions called the generalized Ampadu-G (GA-G for short) family of distributions, and with a certain restriction on the parameter space, the family is shown to be a life-time distribution. The shape of the density function and hazard rate function of the GA-G family is described analytically. When G follows the Weibull distribution, the generalized Ampadu-Weibull (GA-W for short) is presented along with its hazard and survival function. Several sub-models of the GA-W family are presented. The transformation technique is applied to this new family of distributions, and we obtain the quantile function of the new family. Power series representations for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and probability density function (PDF) are also obtained. The rth non-central moments, moment generating function, and Renyi entropy associated with the new family of distributions are derived. Characterization theorems based on two truncated moments and conditional expectation are also presented. A simulation study is also conducted, and we find that using the method of maximum likelihood to estimate model parameters is adequate. The GA-W family of distributions is shown to be practically significant in modeling real life data, and is shown to be superior to some non-trivial generalizations of the Weibull distribution. A further development concludes the paper.

Family Of Distributions

Modeling reliability data with nonmonotone hazards is a prominent research topic that is quite rich and still growing rapidly. Many studies have suggested introducing new families of distributions to modify the Weibull distribution to model the nonmonotone hazards. In the present study, we propose a new family of distributions called a new lifetime exponential-X family. A special submodel of the proposed family called a new lifetime exponential-Weibull distribution suitable for modeling reliability data with bathtub-shaped hazard rates is discussed. The maximum-likelihood estimators of the model parameters are obtained. A brief Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of these estimators. For illustrative purposes, two real applications from reliability engineering with bathtub-shaped hazard functions are analyzed. The practical applications show that the proposed model provides better fits than the other nonnested models.

AbstractWe introduce a new family of univariate continuous distributions called the Marshall–Olkin transmuted-G family which extends the transmuted-G family pioneered by Shaw and Buckley (2007). Special models for the new family are provided. Some of its mathematical properties including quantile measure, explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, Rényi and Shannon entropies, order statistics and probability weighted moments are derived. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood. The flexibility of the proposed family is illustrated by means of two applications to real data sets.

The Weibull distribution is the most popular model for lifetimes. However, the maximum likelihood estimators for the Weibull distribution are not available in closed form. In this note, we derive a simple, consistent, closed form estimator for the Weibull shape parameter. This estimator is independent of the Weibull scale parameter. Simulation studies show that this estimator performs as well as the maximum likelihood estimator.

This paper introduces a new family of distributions by combining the sine produced family and the inverse Lomax generated family. The new proposed family is very interested and flexible more than some old and current families. It has many new models which have many applications in physics, engineering, and medicine. Some fundamental statistical properties of the sine inverse Lomax generated family of distributions as moments, generating function, and quantile function are calculated. Four special models as sine inverse Lomax-exponential, sine inverse Lomax-Rayleigh, sine inverse Lomax-Frèchet and sine inverse Lomax-Lomax models are proposed. Maximum likelihood estimation of model parameters is proposed in this paper. For the purpose of evaluating the performance of maximum likelihood estimates, a simulation study is conducted. Two real life datasets are analyzed by the sine inverse Lomax-Lomax model, and we show that providing flexibility and more fitting than known nine models derived from other generated families.

Extended Weibull Distribution

In this article, a new approach is used to introduce an additional parameter to a continuous class of distributions. The new class is referred to as a new extended-F family of distributions. The new extended-Weibull distribution, as a special submodel of this family, is discussed. General expressions for some mathematical properties of the proposed family are derived, and maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters are obtained. Furthermore, a simulation study is provided to evaluate the validity of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, the flexibility of the proposed method is illustrated via two applications to real data, and the comparison is made with the Weibull and some of its well-known extensions such as Marshall–Olkin Weibull, alpha power-transformed Weibull, and Kumaraswamy Weibull distributions.
