A new three-parameter generalized distribution, namely, half-logistic generalized Weibull (HLGW) distribution, is proposed. The proposed distribution exhibits increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped, unimodal, and decreasing-increasing-decreasing hazard rates. The distribution is a compound distribution of type I half-logistic-G and Dimitrakopoulou distribution. The new model includes half-logistic Weibull distribution, half-logistic exponential distribution, and half-logistic Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution as submodels. Some distributional properties of the new model are investigated which include the density function shapes and the failure rate function, raw moments, moment generating function, order statistics, L-moments, and quantile function. The parameters involved in the model are estimated using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The asymptotic distribution of the estimators is also investigated via Fisher’s information matrix. The likelihood ratio (LR) test is used to compare the HLGW distribution with its submodels. Some applications of the proposed distribution using real data sets are included to examine the usefulness of the distribution.

This work is focused on the four parameters Exponentiated Cubic Transmuted Weibull distribution which mostly found its application in reliability analysis most especially for data that are non-monotone and Bi-modal.

In this article, we investigate a distribution called the generalized beta-exponential Weibull distribution. Beta exponential x family of link function which is generated from family of generalized distributions is used in generating the new distribution. Its density and hazard functions have different shapes and contains special case of distributions that have been proposed in literature such as beta-Weibull, beta exponential, exponentiated-Weibull and exponentiated-exponential distribution. Various properties of the distribution were obtained namely; moments, generating function, Renyi entropy and quantile function. Estimation of model parameters through maximum likelihood estimation method and observed information matrix are derived. Thereafter, the proposed distribution is illustrated with applications to two different real data sets. Lastly, the distribution clearly shown that is better fitted to the two data sets than other distributions.

We introduce the Kumaraswamy alpha power-G (KAP-G) family which extends the alpha power family (Mahdavi and Kundu, 2017) and some other families. We consider the Weibull as baseline for the KAP family and generate Kumaraswamy alpha power Weibull distribution which has right-skewed, left-skewed, symmetrical, and reversed-J shaped densities, and decreasing, increasing, bathtub, upside-down bathtub, increasing-decreasing–increasing, J shaped and reversed-J shaped hazard rates. The proposed distribution can model non-monotone  and monotone failure rates which are quite common in engineering and reliability studies. Some basic mathematical properties of the new model are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to evaluate the parameters and the observed information matrix is determined. The performance and flexibility of the proposed family is illustrated via two real data applications.

Beta Weibull Distribution

The beta Weibull distribution was first introduced by Famoye et al. (2005) and studied by these authors and Lee et al. (2007). However, they do not give explicit expressions for the moments. In this article, we derive explicit closed form expressions for the moments of this distribution, which generalize results available in the literature for some sub-models. We also obtain expansions for the cumulative distribution function and Rényi entropy. Further, we discuss maximum likelihood estimation and provide formulae for the elements of the expected information matrix. We also demonstrate the usefulness of this distribution on a real data set.

New Model

In this paper, we propose a new three-parameter lifetime distribution for modeling symmetric real-life data sets. A simple-type Copula-based construction is presented to derive many bivariate- and multivariate-type distributions. The failure rate function of the new model can be “monotonically asymmetric increasing”, “increasing-constant”, “monotonically asymmetric decreasing” and “upside-down-constant” shaped. We investigate some of mathematical symmetric/asymmetric properties such as the ordinary moments, moment generating function, conditional moment, residual life and reversed residual functions. Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and mean deviations are discussed. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. Finally, we illustrate the importance of the new model by the study of real data applications to show the flexibility and potentiality of the new model. The kernel density estimation and box plots are used for exploring the symmetry of the used data.

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.

Different estimation approaches namely, maximum likelihood estimators, interval estimators, least square estimators, fisher information matrix and asymptotic confidence intervals are described.

A new method for generalizing the Lindley distribution, by increasing the number of mixed models is presented formally. This generalized model, which is called the generalized Lindley of integer order, encompasses the exponential and the usual Lindley distributions as special cases when the order of the model is fixed to be one and two, respectively. The moments, the variance, the moment generating function, and the failure rate function of the initiated model are extracted. Estimation of the underlying parameters by the moment and the maximum likelihood methods are acquired. The maximum likelihood estimation for the right censored data has also been discussed. In a simulation running for various orders and censoring rates, efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimator has been explored. The introduced model has ultimately been fitted to two real data sets to emphasize its application.
