The present study introduces a new three-parameter model called the modified Kies–Lomax (MKL) distribution to extend the Lomax distribution and increase its flexibility in modeling real-life data. The MKL distribution, due to its flexibility, provides left-skewed, symmetrical, right-skewed, and reversed-J shaped densities and increasing, unimodal, decreasing, and bathtub hazard rate shapes. The MKF density can be expressed as a linear mixture of Lomax densities. Some basic mathematical properties of the MKF model are derived. Its parameters are estimated via six estimation algorithms. We explore their performances using detailed simulation results, and the partial and overall ranks are provided for the measures of absolute biases, mean square errors, and mean relative errors to determine the best estimation method. The results show that the maximum product of spacings and maximum likelihood approaches are recommended to estimate the MKL parameters. Finally, the flexibility of the MKL distribution is checked using two real datasets, showing that it can provide close fit to both datasets as compared with other competing Lomax models. The three-parameter MKL model outperforms some four-parameter and five-parameter rival models.

In this article, we consider statistical inferences about the unknown parameters of the Lomax distribution basedon the Adaptive Type-II Progressive Hybrid censoring scheme, this scheme can save both the total test time and the cost induced by the failure of the units and increases the efficiency of statistical analysis. The estimation of the parameters is derived using the maximum likelihood (MLE) and the Bayesian procedures. The Bayesian estimators are obtained based on the symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. There are no explicit forms for the Bayesian estimators, therefore, we propose Lindley’s approximation method to compute the Bayesian estimators. A comparison between these estimators is provided by using extensive simulation. A real-life data example is provided to illustrate our proposed estimators.

New Distribution

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.

In this paper, a generalized modification of the Kumaraswamy distribution is proposed, and its distributional and characterizing properties are studied. This distribution is closed under scaling and exponentiation, and has some well-known distributions as special cases, such as the generalized uniform, triangular, beta, power function, Minimax, and some other Kumaraswamy related distributions. Moment generating function, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves, with its moments consisting of the mean, variance, moments about the origin, harmonic, incomplete, probability weighted, L, and trimmed L moments, are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used for estimating its parameters and applied to six different simulated data sets of this distribution, in order to check the performance of the estimation method through the estimated parameters mean squares errors computed from the different simulated sample sizes. Finally, four real-life data sets are used to illustrate the usefulness and the flexibility of this distribution in application to real-life data.

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.

Empirical Performance

This study uses a Monte Carlo simulation design to assess the performance of Beta and linear mixed models on bounded response variables through comparison of four estimation methods. Four factors affecting the performance of the estimation methods were considered: the number of groups, the number of observations per group, the variance and distribution of the random effects. Our results showed that, for small number of groups (less than 30), the Beta mixed model outperformed the linear mixed model whatever the size of the groups. In the case of a large number of groups (superior or equal to 30), both approaches showed relatively close performance. The results from the simulation study have been illustrated with real life data.

Abstract Time series of counts occur in many real-life situations where they exhibit various forms of dispersion. To facilitate the modeling of such time series, this paper introduces a flexible first-order integer-valued non-stationary autoregressive (INAR(1)) process where the innovation terms follow a Conway-Maxwell Poisson distribution (COM-Poisson). To estimate the unknown parameters in this model, different estimation approaches based on likelihood and quasi-likelihood formulations are considered. From simulation experiments and a real-life data application, the Generalized Quasi-Likelihood (GQL) approach yields estimates with lower bias than the other estimation approaches.

In this article, we are concerned with the E-Bayesian (the expectation of Bayesian estimate) method, the maximum likelihood and the Bayesian estimation methods of the shape parameter, and the reliability function of one-parameter Burr-X distribution. A hybrid generalized Type-II censored sample from one-parameter Burr-X distribution is considered. The Bayesian and E-Bayesian approaches are studied under squared error and LINEX loss functions by using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Confidence intervals for maximum likelihood estimates, as well as credible intervals for the E-Bayesian and Bayesian estimates, are constructed. Furthermore, an example of real-life data is presented for the sake of the illustration. Finally, the performance of the E-Bayesian estimation method is studied then compared with the performance of the Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods.
