Type I Half Logistic Burr X-G Family: Properties, Bayesian, and Non-Bayesian Estimation under Censored Samples and Applications to COVID-19 Data

In this paper, we present a new family of continuous distributions known as the type I half logistic Burr X-G. The proposed family’s essential mathematical properties, such as quantile function (QuFu), moments (Mo), incomplete moments (InMo), mean deviation (MeD), Lorenz (Lo) and Bonferroni (Bo) curves, and entropy (En), are provided. Special models of the family are presented, including type I half logistic Burr X-Lomax, type I half logistic Burr X-Rayleigh, and type I half logistic Burr X-exponential. The maximum likelihood (MLL) and Bayesian techniques are utilized to produce parameter estimators for the recommended family using type II censored data. Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the accuracy of estimates for one of the family’s special models. The COVID-19 real datasets from Italy, Canada, and Belgium are analysed to demonstrate the significance and flexibility of some new distributions from the family.

Interval Estimation in Lifetime Distributions Using Progressively Type II Censored Data

In this paper, we developed a method for constructing confidence intervals for the parameters of lifetime distributions based on progressively type II censored data. The method produces closed form expressions for the bounds of the confidence intervals for several special cases of parameters and lifetime distributions. Closed form approximations are derived for the intervals for the parameters of the location or scale families of distributions. The method is illustrated with several examples and analyses of real data sets are included to illustrate the application of the method.

A New Transmuted Generalized Lomax Distribution: Properties and Applications to COVID-19 Data

A new five-parameter transmuted generalization of the Lomax distribution (TGL) is introduced in this study which is more flexible than current distributions and has become the latest distribution theory trend. Transmuted generalization of Lomax distribution is the name given to the new model. This model includes some previously unknown distributions. The proposed distribution's structural features, closed forms for an rth moment and incomplete moments, quantile, and Rényi entropy, among other things, are deduced. Maximum likelihood estimate based on complete and Type-II censored data is used to derive the new distribution's parameter estimators. The percentile bootstrap and bootstrap-t confidence intervals for unknown parameters are introduced. Monte Carlo simulation research is discussed in order to estimate the characteristics of the proposed distribution using point and interval estimation. Other competitive models are compared to a novel TGL. The utility of the new model is demonstrated using two COVID-19 real-world data sets from France and the United Kingdom.

Bayesian using Importance Sampling Technique of Weibull Regression with Type II Censored Data

Keeping in view the Bayesian approach, the study aims to develop methods through the utilization of Jeffreys prior and modified Jeffreys prior to the covariate obtained by using the Importance sampling technique. For maximum likelihood estimator, covariate parameters, and the shape parameter of Weibull regression distribution with the censored data of Type II will be estimated by the study. It is shown that the obtained estimators in closed forms are not available, but through the usage of appropriate numerical methods, they can be solved. The mean square error is the criterion of comparison. With the use of simulation, performances of these three estimates are assessed, bearing in mind different censored percentages, and various sizes of the sample.
