We propose and develop the properties of a new generalized distribution called the beta log-logistic Weibull (BLLoGW) distribution. This model contain several new distributions such as beta log-logistic Rayleigh, beta log-logistic exponential, exponentiated log-logistic Weibull, exponentiated log-logistic Rayleigh, exponentiated log-logistic exponential,  log-logistic Weibull, log-logistic Rayleigh and log-logistic distributions as special cases. Structural properties of this generalized distribution including series expansion of the probability density function and cumulative distribution function, hazard function, reverse hazard function, quantile function, moments, conditional moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, R\'enyi entropy and distribution of order statistics are presented. The parameters of the distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation technique. A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to examine the bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimates. A real dataset is used to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the new generalized distribution.

Abstract The authors introduce a new generalized distribution called the Marshall-Olkin Lindley-Log-logistic (MOLLLoG) distribution and discuss its distributional properties. The properties include hazard function, quantile function, moments, conditional moments, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, distribution of the order statistics and Rényi entropy. A Monte Carlo simulation study was used to examine the bias, relative bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators. The betterness of the new distribution compared to other distributions is illustrated by means of two real life datasets.

This paper introduces a new lifetime model which is a generalization of the transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution by using the Kumaraswamy generalized (Kw-G) distribution. With the particular case no less than \textbf{seventy nine} sub models as special cases, the so-called Kumaraswamy transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution, introduced by Cordeiro and de Castro (2011) is one of this particular cases. Further, expressions for several probabilistic measures are provided, such as probability density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, mean, variance and median, moment generation function, R\'{e}nyi and q entropies, order estatistics, etc. Inference is maximum likelihood based and the usefulness of the model is showed by using a real dataset.

In this paper, a new lifetime model called Kumaraswamy exponentiated U-quadratic (KwEUq) distribution is proposed. Several mathematical and statistical properties are derived and studied such as the explicit form of the quantile function, moments, moment generating function, order statistics, probability weighted moments, Shannon entropy and Renyi entropy. We also found that the usual maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) fail to hold for the KwEUq distribution. Two alternative methods are suggested for the parameter estimation of the KwEUq, the alternative maximum likelihood estimation (AMLE) and modified maximum likelihood estimation (MMLE). Simulation studies were conducted to assess the finite sample behavior of the AMLEs and MMLEs. Finally, we provide application of the KwEUq for illustration purposes.

This paper develops Bayesian estimation and prediction, for a mixture of Weibull and Lomax distributions, in the context of the new life test plan called progressive first failure censored samples. Maximum likelihood  estimation and Bayes estimation, under informative and non-informative priors, are obtained using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, based on the symmetric square error Loss function and the asymmetric linear exponential (LINEX) and general entropy loss functions. The maximum likelihood estimates and the different Bayes estimates are compared via a Monte Carlo simulation study. Finally, Bayesian prediction intervals for future observations are obtained using a numerical example

We introduce a new three-parameter lifetime distribution, the exponentiated Lindley geometric distribution, which exhibits increasing, decreasing, unimodal, and bathtub shaped hazard rates. We provide statistical properties of the new distribution, including shape of the probability density function, hazard rate function, quantile function, order statistics, moments, residual life function, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and entropies. We use maximum likelihood estimation of the unknown parameters, and an Expectation-Maximization algorithm is also developed to find the maximum likelihood estimates. The Fisher information matrix is provided to construct the asymptotic confidence intervals. Finally, two real-data examples are analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Family Of Distributions

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.

Abstract In this article we explore statistical properties of the maximum-likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the selection and mutation parameters in a Poisson random field population genetics model of directional selection at DNA sites. We derive the asymptotic variances and covariance of the MLEs and explore the power of the likelihood ratio tests (LRT) of neutrality for varying levels of mutation and selection as well as the robustness of the LRT to deviations from the assumption of free recombination among sites. We also discuss the coverage of confidence intervals on the basis of two standard-likelihood methods. We find that the LRT has high power to detect deviations from neutrality and that the maximum-likelihood estimation performs very well when the ancestral states of all mutations in the sample are known. When the ancestral states are not known, the test has high power to detect deviations from neutrality for negative selection but not for positive selection. We also find that the LRT is not robust to deviations from the assumption of independence among sites.

This paper presents a hybrid genetic algorithm to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of parameters in structural econometric models with multiple equilibria. The algorithm combines a pseudo maximum likelihood (PML) procedure with a genetic algorithm (GA). The GA searches globally over the large space of possible combinations of multiple equilibria in the data. The PML procedure avoids the computation of all the equilibria associated with every trial value of the structural parameters.
