We investigate the statistical inferences and applications of the half exponential power distribution for the first time. The proposed model defined on the nonnegative reals extends the half normal distribution and is more flexible. The characterizations and properties involving moments and some measures based on moments of this distribution are derived. The inference aspects using methods of moment and maximum likelihood are presented. We also study the performance of the estimators using the Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, we illustrate it with two real applications.

We introduce an alternative skew-slash distribution by using the scale mixture of the exponential power distribution. We derive the properties of this distribution and estimate its parameter by Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian methods. By a simulation study we compute the mentioned estimators and their mean square errors, and we provide an example on real data to demonstrate the modeling strength of the new distribution.

The exponential power distribution (EP) is a lifetime model that can exhibit increasing and bathtub hazard rate function. This paper proposed a generalization of EP distribution, named generalized exponential power (GEP) distribution. Some properties of GEP distribution will be investigated. Recurrence relations for single moments of generalized ordered statistics from GEP distribution are established and used for characterizing the GEP distribution. Estimation of the model parameters are derived using maximum likelihood method based on complete sample, type I, type II and random censored samples. A simulation study is performed in order to examine the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters. Three applications to real data, two with censored data, are provided in order to show the superiority of the proposed model to other models.

This paper considers the application of a method for maximizing polynomials in order to find estimates of the parameters of a multifactorial linear regression provided the random errors of the regression model follow an exponential power distribution. The method used is conceptually close to a maximum likelihood method because it is based on the maximization of selective statistics in the neighborhood of the true values of the evaluated parameters. However, in contrast to the classical parametric approach, it employs a partial probabilistic description in the form of a limited number of statistics of higher orders. The adaptive algorithm of statistical estimation has been synthesized, which takes into consideration the properties of regression residues and makes it possible to find refined values for the estimates of the parameters of a linear multifactorial regression using the numerical Newton-Rafson iterative procedure. Based on the apparatus of the quantity of extracted information, the analytical expressions have been derived that make it possible to analyze the theoretical accuracy (asymptotic variances) of estimates for the method of maximizing polynomials depending on the magnitude of the exponential power distribution parameters. Statistical modeling was employed to perform a comparative analysis of the variance of estimates obtained using the method of maximizing polynomials with the accuracy of classical methods: the least squares and maximum likelihood. Regions of the greatest efficiency for each studied method have been constructed, depending on the magnitude of the parameter of the form of exponential power distribution and sample size. It has been shown that estimates from the polynomial maximization method may demonstrate a much lower variance compared to the estimates from a least-square method. And, in some cases (for flat-topped distributions and in the absence of a priori information), may exceed the estimates from the maximum likelihood method in terms of accuracy

In this paper, an odd generalized exponential Lomax (OGEL, in short) distribution has been considered. Some mathematical properties of the distribution are studied. The methods of maximum likelihood and maximum product of spacing are used for estimating the model parameters.  Moreover, 95% asymptotic confidence intervals for the estimates of the parameters are derived. The Monte Carlo simulation is conducted for the two proposed methods of estimation to evaluate the performance of the various proposed estimators. The proposed methods are utilized to find estimates of the parameters of OGEL distribution for the daily recovery cases of COIVD-19 in Egypt from 12 May to 30 September 2020.The practical applications show that the proposed model provides better fits than the other models.
