In this paper, we introduce an extension of the sinh Cauchy distribution including a double regression model for both the quantile and scale parameters. This model can assume different shapes: unimodal or bimodal, symmetric or asymmetric. We discuss some properties of the model and perform a simulation study in order to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators in finite samples. A real data application is also presented.

Cauchy Model

In this article, we study an extension of the sinh Cauchy model in order to obtain asymmetric bimodality. The behavior of the distribution may be either unimodal or bimodal. We calculate its cumulative distribution function and use it to carry out quantile regression. We calculate the maximum likelihood estimators and carry out a simulation study. Two applications are analyzed based on real data to illustrate the flexibility of the distribution for modeling unimodal and bimodal data.

Abstract We propose a new generalized class of distributions called Lindley-Weibull Power Series (LWPS) distributions and their special case called Lindley-Weibull logarithmic (LWL) distributions. Structural properties of the LWPS class of distributions and its sub-model LWL distribution including moments, order statistics, Rényi entropy, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and maximum likelihood estimates are derived. A simulation study to examine the bias and mean square error 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 class of distributions.

In this work, a new extension of the Inverse Rayleigh model is proposed and studied. We derive some of its fundamental properties.

We introduce a new extension of the reciprocal Exponential distribution for modeling the extreme values. We used the Morgenstern family and the clayton copula for deriving many bivariate and multivariate extensions of the new model. Some of its properties are derived. We assessed the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) via a graphical simulation study. The assessment was based on the sample size. The new reciprocal model is employed for modeling the skewed and the symmetric real data sets. The new reciprocal model is better than some other important competitive models in statistical modeling.

In this article, additional properties of the Gumbel-Burr XII distribution, denoted by (GBXII(L)), defined in (Osatohanmwen et al., 2017), are studied. We consider some useful characterizations for the GBXII(L) distribution and some of its properties. A simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of the MLEs and the usefulness of the GBXII(L) distribution is illustrated by means of three real data sets. The simulation study suggests that the maximum likelihood method can be used to estimate the distribution parameters, and the three examples show that the GBXII(L) is very flexible in fitting different shapes of data. A log-GBXII(L) regression model is proposed and a survival data is used in an application of the proposed regression model. The log-GBXII(L) regression model is adequate and can be used in comparison to other models.

AbstractMany real data sets contain numerical features (variables) whose distribution is far from normal (Gaussian). Instead, their distribution is often skewed. In order to handle such data it is customary to preprocess the variables to make them more normal. The Box–Cox and Yeo–Johnson transformations are well-known tools for this. However, the standard maximum likelihood estimator of their transformation parameter is highly sensitive to outliers, and will often try to move outliers inward at the expense of the normality of the central part of the data. We propose a modification of these transformations as well as an estimator of the transformation parameter that is robust to outliers, so the transformed data can be approximately normal in the center and a few outliers may deviate from it. It compares favorably to existing techniques in an extensive simulation study and on real data.

In this paper, we have defined a new two-parameter new Lindley half Cauchy (NLHC) distribution using Lindley-G family of distribution which accommodates increasing, decreasing and a variety of monotone failure rates. The statistical properties of the proposed distribution such as probability density function, cumulative distribution function, quantile, the measure of skewness and kurtosis are presented. We have briefly described the three well-known estimation methods namely maximum likelihood estimators (MLE), least-square (LSE) and Cramer-Von-Mises (CVM) methods. All the computations are performed in R software. By using the maximum likelihood method, we have constructed the asymptotic confidence interval for the model parameters. We verify empirically the potentiality of the new distribution in modeling a real data set.

Beta Regression Model

Abstract Objectives Zero-inflated proportion or rate data nested in clusters due to the sampling structure can be found in many disciplines. Sometimes, the rate response may not be observed for some study units because of some limitations (false negative) like failure in recording data and the zeros are observed instead of the actual value of the rate/proportions (low incidence). In this study, we proposed a multilevel zero-inflated censored Beta regression model that can address zero-inflation rate data with low incidence.Methods We assumed that the random effects are independent and normally distributed. The performance of the proposed approach was evaluated by application on a three level real data set and a simulation study. We applied the proposed model to analyze brucellosis diagnosis rate data and investigate the effects of climatic and geographical position. For comparison, we also applied the standard zero-inflated censored Beta regression model that does not account for correlation.Results Results showed the proposed model performed better than zero-inflated censored Beta based on AIC criterion. Height (p-value <0.0001), temperature (p-value <0.0001) and precipitation (p-value = 0.0006) significantly affected brucellosis rates. While, precipitation in ZICBETA model was not statistically significant (p-value =0.385). Simulation study also showed that the estimations obtained by maximum likelihood approach had reasonable in terms of mean square error.Conclusions The results showed that the proposed method can capture the correlations in the real data set and yields accurate parameter estimates.

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.
