In this study, we present a new family of distributions through generalization of the extended bimodal-normal distribution. This family includes several special cases, like the normal, Birnbaum-Saunders, Student’s t, and Laplace distribution, that are developed and defined using stochastic representation. The theoretical properties are derived, and easily implemented Monte Carlo simulation schemes are presented. An inferential study is performed for the Laplace distribution. We end with an illustration of two real data sets.

The need to develop generalizations of existing statistical distributions to make them more flexible in modeling real data sets is vital in parametric statistical modeling and inference. Thus, this study develops a new class of distributions called the extended odd Fréchet family of distributions for modifying existing standard distributions. Two special models named the extended odd Fréchet Nadarajah-Haghighi and extended odd Fréchet Weibull distributions are proposed using the developed family. The densities and the hazard rate functions of the two special distributions exhibit different kinds of monotonic and nonmonotonic shapes. The maximum likelihood method is used to develop estimators for the parameters of the new class of distributions. The application of the special distributions is illustrated by means of a real data set. The results revealed that the special distributions developed from the new family can provide reasonable parametric fit to the given data set compared to other existing distributions.

We introduce a new class of continuous distributions called the complementary generalized transmuted Poisson-G family, which extends the transmuted class pioneered by Shaw and Buckley (2007). We provide some special models and derive general mathematical properties including quantile function, explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, Rényi and Shannon entropies and order statistics. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood. The flexibility of the new family is illustrated by means of two applications to real data sets.

In this paper, we developed a new class of continuous distributions called Burr X Exponential-G Family. Also, we obtained sub-models of this family of distributions such as Burr X Exponential-Rayleigh (BXE-R) and Burr X Exponential Lomax (BXE-Lx) distributions; by showing their respective densities functions. Some structural properties of the proposed family of distributions were derived such as moment, moment generating function, probability weighted moment, renyi entropy and order statistics. We estimate the parameters of the model by using Maximum Likelihood methods. Finally, the results obtained are validated using two real data sets. The results show that BXE-Lx distribution provides better fit in the data sets than some other well known distributions. However, this new family of distributions will serve as an additional generator for developing new sub models to modeling positive real data sets.

A new family of skew distributions is introduced by extending the alpha skew logistic distribution proposed by Hazarika-Chakraborty [9]. This family of distributions is called the alpha-beta skew logistic (ABSLG) distribution.Density function, moments, skewness and kurtosis coefficients are derived. The parameters of the new family are estimated by maximum likelihood and moments methods. The performance of the obtained estimators examined via a Monte carlo simulation. Flexibility, usefulness and suitability of ABSLG is illustrated by analyzing two real data sets.

In this paper, we have introduced a new family of general transmuted distributions and have studied the cubic transmuted family of distributions in detail. This new class of distributions oers more distributional exibility when bi-modality appear in the data sets. Some special members of the proposed cubic transmuted family of distributions have been discussed. We have investigated, in detail, the proposed cubic transmuted family of distributions for parent exponential distribution. The statistical properties along with the reliability behavior for the cubic transmuted exponential distribution have been studied. We have obtained the expressions for single and joint order statistics when a sample is available from the cubic transmuted exponential distribution. Maximum likelihood estimation of parameters for cubic transmuted exponential distribution has also been discussed. We have also discussed the simulation and real data applications of the proposed distribution.

We introduce a new class of distributions called the epsilon–positive family, which can be viewed as generalization of the distributions with positive support. The construction of the epsilon–positive family is motivated by the ideas behind the generation of skew distributions using symmetric kernels. This new class of distributions has as special cases the exponential, Weibull, log–normal, log–logistic and gamma distributions, and it provides an alternative for analyzing reliability and survival data. An interesting feature of the epsilon–positive family is that it can viewed as a finite scale mixture of positive distributions, facilitating the derivation and implementation of EM–type algorithms to obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) with (un)censored data. We illustrate the flexibility of this family to analyze censored and uncensored data using two real examples. One of them was previously discussed in the literature; the second one consists of a new application to model recidivism data of a group of inmates released from the Chilean prisons during 2007. The results show that this new family of distributions has a better performance fitting the data than some common alternatives such as the exponential distribution.

This paper introduces a new family of distributions for modelling censored multimodal data. The model extends the widely known tobit model by introducing two parameters that control the shape and the asymmetry of the distribution. Basic properties of this new family of distributions are studied in detail and a model for censored positive data is also studied. The problem of estimating parameters is addressed by considering the maximum likelihood method. The score functions and the elements of the observed information matrix are given. Finally, three applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.

Specifying a proper statistical model to represent asymmetric lifetime data with high kurtosis is an open problem. In this paper, the three-parameter, modified, slashed, generalized Rayleigh family of distributions is proposed. Its structural properties are studied: stochastic representation, probability density function, hazard rate function, moments and estimation of parameters via maximum likelihood methods. As merits of our proposal, we highlight as particular cases a plethora of lifetime models, such as Rayleigh, Maxwell, half-normal and chi-square, among others, which are able to accommodate heavy tails. A simulation study and applications to real data sets are included to illustrate the use of our results.

In this paper, we present a new family, depending on additive Weibull random variable as a generator, called the generalized additive Weibull generated-family (GAW-G) of distributions with two extra parameters. The proposed family involves several of the most famous classical distributions as well as the new generalized Weibull-G family which already accomplished by Cordeiro et al. (2015). Four special models are displayed. The expressions for the incomplete and ordinary moments, quantile, order statistics, mean deviations, Lorenz and Benferroni curves are derived. Maximum likelihood method of estimation is employed to obtain the parameter estimates of the family. The simulation study of the new models is conducted. The efficiency and importance of the new generated family is examined through real data sets.
