AbstractThe Kumaraswamy generalized family of distributions proposed by Cordeiro and de-Castro (2011), has received increased attention in modern distribution theory with 624 google citations, and more than 50 special models have been studied so far. We define another generator, and then propose a new Kumaraswamy generalized family of distributions by inducting this new generator. Some useful properties of the proposed family are obtained such as quantiles, linear representation of the density, moments and generating function. The method of maximum likelihood is used for estimating family parameters. The properties of a special model of the family, called new Kumaraswamy-Burr XII distribution, are reported. A simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of maximum likelihood estimates of the proposed model. Two real-life data sets are analyzed to illustrate the flexibility of proposed model.

In this paper, we consider a class of bathtub-shaped hazard function distribution through modifying the Kies distribution and investigate some of its important properties by deriving expressions for its percentile function, raw moments, stress-strength reliability measure etc. The parameters of the distribution are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and discussed some of its reliability applications with the help of certain real life data sets. In addition, the asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of the distribution is examined by using simulated data sets.

Family Of Distributions

For bounded unit interval, we propose a new Kumaraswamy generalized (G) family of distributions from a new generator which could be an alternate to the Kumaraswamy-G family proposed earlier by Cordeiro and de-Castro in 2011. This new generator can also be used to develop alternate G-classes such as beta-G, McDonald-G, Topp-Leone-G, Marshall-Olkin-G and Transmuted-G for bounded unit interval. Some mathematical properties of this new family are obtained and maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the family parameters. We investigate the properties of one special model called a new Kumaraswamy-Weibull (NKwW) distribution. Parameter estimation is dealt and maximum likelihood estimators are assessed through simulation study. Two real life data sets are analyzed to illustrate the importance and flexibility of this distribution. In fact, this model outperforms some generalized Weibull models such as the Kumaraswamy-Weibull, McDonald-Weibull, beta-Weibull, exponentiated-generalized Weibull, gamma-Weibull, odd log-logistic-Weibull, Marshall-Olkin-Weibull, transmuted-Weibull, exponentiated-Weibull and Weibull distributions when applied to these data sets. The bivariate extension of the family is proposed and the estimation of parameters is given. The usefulness of the bivariate NKwW model is illustrated empirically by means of a real-life data set.

In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution, namely the extended Burr XII distribution (using the technique as mentioned in Cordeiro et al. (2015)). We derive some basic properties of the new distribution and provide a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters. For illustrative purposes, two real life data sets have been considered as an application of the proposed model.

Abstract We obtained a new generalization of Lindley-Quasi Xgamma distribution by adding weight parameter to it through weighting technique and have shown the flexibility of proposed model. Expression for reliability measures, order statistics, Bonferroni curves & indices, Renyi entropy along with some other important properties are derived. Maximum likelihood estimation method is put to use for estimation of unknown parameters of proposed model. Simulation study for checking the performance of maximum likelihood estimates and for model comparison is carried out. Proposed model and its related models are fitted to real life data sets and goodness of fit measure Kolmogorov statistic & p-value, loss of information criteria’s AIC, BIC, AICC & HQIC are computed through R software to check the applicability of proposed model in real life. The significance of weight parameter is also tested by using likelihood ratio test for both randomly generated data as well as real life data.

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

The transmuted family of distributions has been receiving increased attention over the last few years. For a baselineGdistribution, we derive a simple representation for the transmuted-Gfamily density function as a linear mixture of theGand exponentiated-Gdensities. We investigate the asymptotes and shapes and obtain explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating functions, mean deviations, Rényi and Shannon entropies, and order statistics and their moments. We estimate the model parameters of the family by the method of maximum likelihood. We prove empirically the flexibility of the proposed model by means of an application to a real data set.

In this study, we proposed a new generalised transmuted inverse exponential distribution with three parameters and have transmuted inverse exponential and inverse exponential distributions as sub models. The hazard function of the distribution is nonmonotonic, unimodal and inverted bathtub shaped making it suitable for modelling lifetime data. We derived the moment, moment generating function, quantile function, maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, Renyi entropy and order statistics of the distribution. A real life data set is used to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model.

Abstract In this article, an extension of exponentiated exponential distribution is familiarized by adding an extra parameter to the parent distribution using alpha power technique. The new distribution obtained is referred to as Alpha Power Exponentiated Exponential Distribution. Various statistical properties of the proposed distribution like mean, variance, central and non-central moments, reliability functions and entropies have been derived. Two real life data sets have been applied to check the flexibility of the proposed model. The new density model introduced provides the better fit when compared with other related statistical models.
