Abstract In the present paper, we introduce a new form of generalized Rayleigh distribution called the Alpha Power generalized Rayleigh (APGR) distribution by following the idea of extension of the distribution families with the Alpha Power transformation. The introduced distribution has the more general form than both the Rayleigh and generalized Rayleigh distributions and provides a better fit than the Rayleigh and generalized Rayleigh distributions for more various forms of the data sets. In the paper, we also obtain explicit forms of some important statistical characteristics of the APGR distribution such as hazard function, survival function, mode, moments, characteristic function, Shannon and Rényi entropies, stress-strength probability, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves and order statistics. The statistical inference problem for the APGR distribution is investigated by using the maximum likelihood and least-square methods. The estimation performances of the obtained estimators are compared based on the bias and mean square error criteria by a conducted Monte-Carlo simulation on small, moderate and large sample sizes. Finally, a real data analysis is given to show how the proposed model works in practice.

In this paper, we introduce a new there-parameter Rayleigh distribution, called the Marshall-Olkin alpha power Rayleigh (MOAPR) distribution. Some statistical properties of the MOAPR distribution are obtained. The proposed model is characterized based on truncated moments and reverse hazard function. The maximum likelihood and bootstrap estimation methods are considered to estimate the MOPAR parameters. A Monte Carlo simulation study is performed to compare the maximum likelihood and bootstrap estimation methods. Superiority of the MOAPR distribution over some well-known distributions is illustrated by means of two real data sets.

This paper interest to estimation the unknown parameters for generalized Rayleigh distribution model based on censored samples of singly type one . In this paper the probability density function for generalized Rayleigh is defined with its properties . The maximum likelihood estimator method is used to derive the point estimation for all unknown parameters based on iterative method , as Newton – Raphson method , then derive confidence interval estimation which based on Fisher information matrix . Finally , testing whether the current model ( GRD ) fits to a set of real data , then compute the survival function and hazard function for this real data.

In this study, transmuted two parameters Rayleigh distribution is proposed using quadratic rank transmutation map. This proposed distribution is more flexible and versatile than two parameters Rayleigh distribution. Some properties of the proposed distribution are derived such as moments, moment generating function, mean, variance, median, quantile function, reliability, and hazard function. The parameter estimation is approached through the method of least square estimation. The th and joint order statistics are also derived for the proposed distribution. The application of proposed model illustrated and compared using real data.

Population scientists are generally developing mathematical models/techniques in demography and to provide brief explanation of extensive data sets. The prime objective of the present paper is to propose a probability model to illustrate the distribution of female’s age at first menstrual onset. Menarcheal age distribution is used to evaluate risk associated to reproductive issues and may be used as a demographic indicator of female fecundity. The suitability of proposed model is tested with the real data sets. Parameters of the proposed distribution have been estimated through least square estimation technique. It is observed that older female’s age at menarche is somewhat higher than the younger female’s age at menarche. Also we have constructed a life table for menarcheal age using a probability model. This life table is enable to provide expected duration of getting menarche for a girl of a particular age.

The main goal of the current paper is to contribute to the existing literature of probability distributions. In this paper, a new probability distribution is generated by using the Alpha Power Family of distributions with the aim to model the data with non-monotonic failure rates and provides a better fit. The proposed distribution is called Alpha Power Exponentiated Inverse Rayleigh or in short APEIR distribution. Various statistical properties have been investigated including they are the order statistics, moments, residual life function, mean waiting time, quantiles, entropy, and stress-strength parameter. To estimate the parameters of the proposed distribution, the maximum likelihood method is employed. It has been proved theoretically that the proposed distribution provides a better fit to the data with monotonic as well as non-monotonic hazard rate shapes. Moreover, two real data sets are used to evaluate the significance and flexibility of the proposed distribution as compared to other probability distributions.

In this paper, we introduce and study a new extension of Lomax distribution with four-parameter named as the Marshall–Olkin alpha power Lomax (MOAPL) distribution. Some statistical properties of this distribution are discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), maximum product spacing (MPS) and least Square (LS) method for the MOAPL distribution parameters are discussed. A numerical study using real data analysis and Monte-Carlo simulation are performed to compare between different methods of estimation. Superiority of the new model over some well-known distributions are illustrated by physics and economics real data sets. The MOAPL model can produce better fits than some well-known distributions as Marshall–Olkin Lomax, alpha power Lomax, Lomax distribution, Marshall–Olkin alpha power exponential, Kumaraswamy-generalized Lomax, exponentiated  Lomax  and power Lomax.

In this work, we introduce a new extension of the Fréchet distribution. A sufficient set of the mathematical and statistical properties have been derived. The estimation of the parameters is carried out by considering the different method of estimation. The performances of the proposed estimation methods are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The potentiality of the proposed model has been analyzed through two data sets. The weighted least square method is the best method for modelling breaking stress data, the least square method is the best method for modelling strengths data, however all other methods performed well for both data sets. On the other hand, the new model gives the best …ts among all other …fitted extensions of the Fréchet models to these data. So, it could be chosen as the best model for modeling breaking stress and strengths real data.

In this paper, we proposed a new class of Weighted Rayleigh Distribution based on two parameters, one is scale parameter and the other is shape parameter which introduced in Rayleigh distribution. The main properties of this class are derived and investigated in . The moment method and maximum likelihood method are used to obtain estimators of parameters, survival function and hazard function. Real data sets are collected to investigate two methods which depend it in this study. A comparison was made between two methods of estimation.

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.

AbstractThis paper proposes a new extended Lindley distribution, which has a more flexible density and hazard rate shapes than the Lindley and Power Lindley distributions, based on the mixture distribution structure in order to model with new distribution characteristics real data phenomena. Its some distributional properties such as the shapes, moments, quantile function, Bonferonni and Lorenz curves, mean deviations and order statistics have been obtained. Characterizations based on two truncated moments, conditional expectation as well as in terms of the hazard function are presented. Different estimation procedures have been employed to estimate the unknown parameters and their performances are compared via Monte Carlo simulations. The flexibility and importance of the proposed model are illustrated by two real data sets.
