New Distribution

In this study, we proposed a generalization of the Pranav distribution by Shukla (2018). This new distribution called an extended Pranav distribution is obtained using the exponentiation method. The statistical characteristics of this new distribution such as the moments, moment generating function, reliability function, hazard function, Rényi entropy and order statistics are derived. The graphical illustrations of the shapes of the probability density function, the cumulative distribution function, and hazard rate functions are provided. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters were obtained and finally, we examine the performance of this new distribution using some real-life data sets to show its flexibility and better goodness of fit as compared with other distributions.

A new two-parameter continuous distribution called the Two-Parameter Nwikpe (TPAN) distribution is derived in this paper. The new distribution is a mixture of gamma and exponential distributions. A few statistical properties of the new probability distribution have been derived. The shape of its density for different values of the parameters has also been established.  The first four crude moments, the second and third moments about the mean of the new distribution were derived using the method of moment generating function. Other statistical properties derived include; the distribution of order statistics, coefficient of variation and coefficient of skewness. The parameters of the new distribution were estimated using maximum likelihood method. The flexibility of the Two-Parameter Nwikpe (TPAN) distribution was shown by fitting the distribution to three real life data sets. The goodness of fit shows that the new distribution outperforms the one parameter exponential, Shanker and Amarendra distributions for the data sets used for this study.

A new sole parameter probability distribution named the Tornumonkpe distribution has been derived in this paper. The new model is a blend of gamma (2,  and gamma(3  distributions. The shape of its density for different values of the parameter has been shown.  The mathematical expression for the moment generating function, the first three raw moments, the second and third moments about the mean, the distribution of order statistics, coefficient of variation and coefficient of skewness has been given. The parameter of the new distribution was estimated using the method of maximum likelihood. The goodness of fit of the Tornumonkpe distribution was established by fitting the distribution to three real life data sets. Using -2lnL, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Akaike Information Criterion(AIC) as criterial for selecting the best fitting model, it was revealed that the new distribution outperforms the one parameter exponential, Shanker and Amarendra distributions for the data sets used.

New Distribution

In this paper we introduced Gompertz Gumbel II (GG II) distribution which generalizes the Gumbel II distribution. The new distribution is a flexible exponential type distribution which can be used in modeling real life data with varying degree of asymmetry. Unlike the Gumbel II distribution which exhibits a monotone decreasing failure rate, the new distribution is useful for modeling unimodal (Bathtub-shaped) failure rates which sometimes characterised the real life data. Structural properties of the new distribution namely, density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, moment generating function, orders statistics, Stochastic Ordering, Renyi entropy were obtained. For the main formulas related to our model, we present numerical studies that illustrate the practicality of computational implementation using statistical software. We also present a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators for the GGTT model. Three life data sets were used for applications in order to illustrate the flexibility of the new model.

In this paper, a new continuous probability distribution named Iwok-Nwikpe distribution is proposed. Some essential statistical properties of the proposed probability distribution have been derived. The graphs of the survival function, probability density function (p.d.f) and cumulative distribution function (c.d.f) were plotted at different values of the parameter. The mathematical expression for the moment generating function (mgf) was derived. Consequently, the first three crude moments were obtained; the distribution of order statistics, the second and third moments corrected for the mean have also been derived. The parameter of the Iwok-Nwikpe distribution was estimated by means of maximum likelihood technique. To establish the goodness of fit of the Iwok-Nwikpe distribution, three real data sets from engineering and medical science were fitted to the distribution. Findings of the study revealed that the Iwok-Nwikpe distribution performed better than the one parameter exponential distribution and other competing models used for the study.

This article proposed a new distribution referred to as the transmuted Exponential Lomax distribution as an extension of the popular Lomax distribution in the form of Exponential Lomax by using the Quadratic rank transmutation map proposed and studied in earlier research. Using the transmutation map, we defined the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the transmuted Exponential Lomax distribution. Some properties of the new distribution were extensively studied after derivation. The estimation of the distribution’s parameters was also done using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the proposed probability distribution was checked in comparison with some other generalizations of Lomax distribution using three real-life data sets. The results obtained indicated that TELD performs better than the other distributions comprising power Lomax, Exponential-Lomax, and the Lomax distributions.

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.

This article presents a comprehensive study of an odd Lindley-Gompertz distribution which has already been proposed in the literature but without any properties. The present study unlike the previous one has considered the derivation of several properties of the odd Lindley-Gompertz distribution with their graphical representations and discussions which has not been done in the first proposition of the distribution.  The study looks at properties such as survival (or reliability) function, the hazard function, the cumulative hazard function, the reverse hazard function, the odds function, quantile function, moments, moment generating function, characteristic function, cumulant generating function, distribution of order statistics and maximum likelihood estimation of the distribution’s parameters none of which was treated by the previous author of the model. An illustration to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the odd Lindley-Gompertz distribution has also been done using two real life datasets and the results show that the model fits the datasets better than the five other distributions considered in this present study.

Our purpose in this study includes introducing a new family of distributions as an alternative to beta-G (B-G) distribution with flexible hazard rate and greater reliability which we call Truncated Weibull-G (TW-G) distribution. We shall discuss several submodels of the family in detail. Then, its mathematical properties such as expansions, probability density function and cumulative distribution function, moments, moment generating function, order statistics, entropies, unimodality, stochastic comparison with the B-G distribution and stress-strength reliability function are studied. Moreover, we study shape of the density and hazard rate functions, and based on the maximum likelihood method, estimate parameters of the model. Finally, we apply the model to a real data set and compare B-G distribution with our proposed model.
