New Distribution

We propose an extended fatigue lifetime model called the odd log-logistic Birnbaum–Saunders–Poisson distribution, which includes as special cases the Birnbaum–Saunders and odd log-logistic Birnbaum–Saunders distributions. We obtain some structural properties of the new distribution. We define a new extended regression model based on the logarithm of the odd log-logistic Birnbaum–Saunders–Poisson random variable. For censored data, we estimate the parameters of the regression model using maximum likelihood. We investigate the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimates using Monte Carlo simulations. The importance of the proposed models, when compared to existing models, is illustrated by means of two real data sets.

Positive Support

In this paper, two new distributions were introduced to model unimodal and/or bimodal data. The first distribution, which was obtained by applying a simple transformation to a unit-Birnbaum–Saunders random variable, is useful for modeling data with positive support, while the second is appropriate for fitting data on the (0,1) interval. Extensions to regression models were also studied in this work, and statistical inference was performed from a classical perspective by using the maximum likelihood method. A small simulation study is presented to evaluate the benefits of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. Finally, two applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.

Modeling Data

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

Inverse Weibull Distribution

A flexible lifetime distribution with increasing, decreasing, inverted bathtub and modified bathtub hazard rate called Modified Burr XII-Inverse Weibull (MBXII-IW) is introduced and studied. The density function of MBXII-IW is exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped.  Descriptive measures on the basis of quantiles, moments, order statistics and reliability measures are theoretically established. The MBXII-IW distribution is characterized via different techniques. Parameters of MBXII-IW distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study is performed to illustrate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). The potentiality of MBXII-IW distribution is demonstrated by its application to real data sets: serum-reversal times and quarterly earnings.

A new flexible and versatile generalized family of distributions, namely, half logistic odd Weibull-Topp-Leone-G (HLOW-TL-G) distribution is presented.

Maximum likelihood estimates of the HLOW-TL-G family of distributions are also presented. Five special cases of the proposed family are presented. A simulation study and real data applications on one of the special cases are also presented

This paper introduces a new two-parameter lifetime distribution, called the exponential-generalized truncated geometric (EGTG) distribution, by compounding the exponential with the generalized truncated geometric distributions. The new distribution involves two important known distributions, i.e., the exponential-geometric (Adamidis and Loukas, 1998) and the extended (complementary) exponential-geometric distributions (Adamidis et al., 2005; Louzada et al., 2011) in the minimum and maximum lifetime cases, respectively. General forms of the probability distribution, the survival and the failure rate functions as well as their properties are presented for some special cases. The application study is illustrated based on two real data sets.

New Distribution

A new three-parameter life parametric model called the Marshall-Olkin generalized Weibull is defined and studied. Relevant properties are mathematically derived and analyzed. The new density exhibits various important symmetric and asymmetric shapes with different useful kurtosis. The new failure rate can be “constant”, “upside down-constant (reversed U-HRF-constant)”, “increasing then constant”, “monotonically increasing”, “J-HRF” and “monotonically decreasing”. The method of maximum likelihood is employed to estimate the unknown parameters. A graphical simulation is performed to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimation. We checked and proved empirically the importance, applicability and flexibility of the new Weibull model in modeling various symmetric and asymmetric types of data. The new distribution has a high ability to model different symmetric and asymmetric types of data.

In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution called the generalized weighted Rama (GWR) distribution, which extends the two-parameter Rama distribution and has the Rama distribution as a special case. The GWR distribution has the ability to model data sets that have positive skewness and upside-down bathtub shape hazard rate. Expressions for mathematical and reliability properties of the GWR distribution have been derived. Estimation of parameters was achieved using the method of maximum likelihood estimation and a simulation was performed to verify the stability of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The asymptotic confidence intervals of the parameters of the proposed distribution are obtained. The applicability of the GWR distribution was illustrated with a real data set and the results obtained show that the GWR distribution is a better candidate for the data than the other competing distributions being investigated.

We propose a new generalized class of distributions called the odd Lindley-G Power Series (OL-GPS) family of distributions and a special class, namely, odd Lindley-Weibull power series (OL-WPS) family of distributions. We also derive the structural properties of the OL-GPS family of distributions including moments, order statistics, Rényi entropy, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and maximum likelihood estimates. Sub-models of the special cases were also obtained together with their structural properties. A simulation study to examine the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators for each parameter is presented. Finally, real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed model

Modeling Data

It is well known that the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) have appealing statistical properties. Under fairly mild conditions their asymptotic distribution is normal, and no other estimator has a smaller asymptotic variance.However, in finite samples the maximum likelihood estimates are often biased estimates and the bias disappears as the sample size grows.Mazucheli, Menezes, and Ghitany (2018b) introduced a two-parameter unit-Weibull distribution which is useful for modeling data on the unit interval, however its MLEs are biased in finite samples.In this paper, we adopt three approaches for bias reduction of the MLEs of the parameters of unit-Weibull distribution.The first approach is the analytical methodology suggested by Cox and Snell (1968), the second is based on parametric bootstrap resampling method, and the third is the preventive approach introduced by Firth (1993).The results from Monte Carlo simulations revealed that the biases of the estimates should not be ignored and the bias reduction approaches are equally efficient. However, the first approach is easier to implement.Finally, applications to two real data sets are presented for illustrative purposes.

New Distribution

<p>In this paper we introduce a new distribution for modeling positive data with high kurtosis. This distribution can be seen as an extension of the exponentiated Rayleigh distribution. This extension builds on the quotient of two independent random variables, one exponentiated Rayleigh in the numerator and Beta(q,1) in the denominator with q&gt;0. It is called the slashed exponentiated Rayleigh random variable. There is evidence that the distribution of this new variable can be more flexible in terms of modeling the kurtosis regarding the exponentiated Rayleigh distribution. The properties of this distribution are studied and the parameter estimates are calculated using the maximum likelihood method. An application with real data reveals good performance of this new distribution.</p>
