The beta and Kumaraswamy distributions are two of the most widely used distributions for modeling bounded data. When the histogram of a certain dataset exhibits increasing or decreasing behavior, one-parameter distributions such as the power, Marshall–Olkin extended uniform and skew-uniform distributions become viable alternatives. In this article, we propose a new one-parameter distribution for modeling bounded data, the Lambert-uniform distribution. The proposal can be considered as a natural alternative to well known one-parameter distributions in the statistical literature and, in certain scenarios, a viable alternative even for the two-parameter beta and Kumaraswamy distributions. We show that the density function of the proposal tends to positive finite values at the ends of the support, a behavior that favors good performance in certain scenarios. The raw moments are derived from the moment-generating function and used to describe the skewness and kurtosis behavior. The quantile function is expressed in closed form in terms of the Lambert W function, which allows reparameterizing the distribution such that the involved parameter represents the qth quantile. Thus, for the analysis of a bounded range variable, for which a set of covariates is available, we propose a regression model that relates the qth quantile of the response to a linear predictor through a link function. The parameter estimation is carried out using the maximum likelihood method and the behavior of the estimators is evaluated through simulation experiments. Finally, three application examples are considered in order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposal.

In this paper, a new three-parameter lifetime distribution is introduced; the new model is a generalization of the log-logistic (LL) model, and it is called the alpha power transformed log-logistic (APTLL) distribution. The APTLL distribution is more flexible than some generalizations of log-logistic distribution. We derived some mathematical properties including moments, moment-generating function, quantile function, Rényi entropy, and order statistics of the new model. The model parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood method of estimation. The simulation study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of the estimates. Finally, we used one real-life dataset to show the flexibility of the APTLL distribution.

In this study, we propose a new lifetime model, named truncated Cauchy power Lomax (TCPL) distribution. The TCPL distribution has many applications in biomedical and physical sciences, and we illustrate that its application herein. We used bladder cancer dataset related to medicine to illustrate the flexibility of the TCPL distribution. The new distribution is more flexible than some well-known models. We also calculated some fundamental properties like; moments, quantile function, moment generating function and order statistics for the TCPL model. The model parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood method for estimation. At the end of the paper, the simulation study is performed to assess the effectiveness of the estimates.

In this study, we proposed a new generalised transmuted inverse exponential distribution with three parameters and have transmuted inverse exponential and inverse exponential distributions as sub models. The hazard function of the distribution is nonmonotonic, unimodal and inverted bathtub shaped making it suitable for modelling lifetime data. We derived the moment, moment generating function, quantile function, maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, Renyi entropy and order statistics of the distribution. A real life data set is used to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model.

This paper presents the details of a proposed continuous model for the minimum Gumbel Burr distribution which is based on four different parameters. The model is obtained by compounding the Gumbel type-II and Burr-XII distributions. Basic mathematical properties of the new distribution were studied including the quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, moment generating function, order statistics, Rényi entropy, stress-strength model and stochastic ordering. The parameters of the proposed distribution are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. A Monte Carlo simulation was presented to examine the behaviour of the parameter estimates. The flexibility of the proposed model was assessed by means of three applications.

This article introduces a four-parameter probability model which represents a gener- alization of the the Gamma-Gompertz distribution using the quadratic rank trans- mutation map. The proposed model is named the Transmuted Gamma-Gompertz distribution. We provide explicit expressions for its statistical properties, moment generating function, quantile function, the order statistics, the quantile function and the median. We estimate the parameters of the distribution using the maximum likelihood method of estimation.

Many Statisticians have developed and proposed new distributions by extending the existing distributions. The distributions are extended by adding one or more parameters to the baseline distributions to make it more flexible in fitting different kinds of data. In this study, a new four-parameter lifetime distribution called the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy Lomax distribution was introduced by using a family of distributions which has been proposed in the literature. Some mathematical properties of the distribution such as the moments, moment generating function, quantile function, survival, hazard, reversed hazard and odds functions were presented. The estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood method was discussed. Three real life data sets representing the failure times of the air conditioning system of an air plane, the remission times (in months) of a random sample of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) bladder cancer patients and Alumina (Al2O3) data were used to show the fit and flexibility of the new distribution over some lifetime distributions in literature. The results showed that the new distribution fits better in the three datasets considered.

In this paper, we introduce a new continuous probability distribution with five parameters called the modified beta Gompertz distribution. It is derived from the modified beta generator proposed by Nadarajah, Teimouri and Shih (2014) and the Gompertz distribution. By investigating its mathematical and practical aspects, we prove that it is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling a wide variety of real phenomena. Among others, we provide useful expansions of crucial functions, quantile function, moments, incomplete moments, moment generating function, entropies and order statistics. We explore the estimation of the model parameters by the obtained maximum likelihood method. We also present a simulation study testing the validity of maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, we illustrate the flexibility of the distribution by the consideration of two real datasets.

In this paper, we introduce a new continuous probability distribution developed from two classical distributions namely, gamma and exponential distributions. The new distribution is called the Nwikpe distribution. Some statistical properties of the new distribution were derived. The shapes of its probability density function have been established for different values of the parameters.  The moment generating function, the first four raw moments, the second moment about the mean, Renyi’s entropy and the distribution of order statistics were derived. The parameter of the new distribution was estimated using maximum likelihood method. The shape of the hazard function of the new distribution is increasing. The flexibility of the distribution was shown using some real life data sets, the goodness of fit shows that the new distribution gives a better fit to the data sets used in this study than the one parameter exponential, Shanker, Lindley, Akash, Sujatha and Amarendra distributions.
