In this paper, we use the combined-unified hybrid censoring samples to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters, survival, and hazard functions of Pareto distribution. Next, we discuss some efficiency criteria of the maximum likelihood estimators, including; the unbiasedness, consistency, and sufficiency. Additionally, we use MCMC to obtain the Bayesian estimates of the unknown parameters. In addition, we calculate the intervals estimation of the unknown parameters. Finally, we analyze a set of real data in view of the theoretical findings of the paper.

The hybrid censoring is a mixture of type-I and type-II censoring schemes. This paper presents the statistical inferences of the inverse Weibull distribution parameters when the data are type-I hybrid censored. First, we consider the maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters. It is observed that the maximum likelihood estimates can not be obtained in closed form. We further obtain the Bayes estimates and the corresponding highest posterior density credible intervals of the unknown parameters under the assumption of independent gamma priors using the importance sampling procedure. We also compute the approximate Bayes estimates using Lindley's approximation technique. The performance of the Bayes estimates have been compared with maximum likelihood estimates through the Monte Carlo Markov chain techniques. Finally, a real data set have been analysed for illustration purpose.

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.

The statistical methods for the financial returns play a key role in measuring the goodness-of-fit of a given distribution to real data. As is well known, the normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) and generalized hyperbolic skew-t (GHST) distributions have been found to successfully describe the data of the returns from financial market. In this paper, we mainly consider the discrimination between these distributions. It is observed that the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) cannot be obtained in closed form. We propose to use the EM algorithm to compute the maximum likelihood estimators. The approximate confidence intervals of the unknown parameters have been constructed. We then perform a number of goodness-of-fit tests to compare the NIG and GHST distributions for the stock exchange data. Moreover, the Vuong type test, based on the Kullback-Leibler information criteria, has been considered to select the most appropriate candidate model. An important implication of the present study is that the GHST distribution function, in contrast to NIG distribution, may describe more appropriate for the proposed data.

We propose a new generalized class of distributions called the odd Lindley-G Power Series (OL-GPS) family of distributions and a special class, namely, odd Lindley-Weibull power series (OL-WPS) family of distributions. We also derive the structural properties of the OL-GPS family of distributions including moments, order statistics, Rényi entropy, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and maximum likelihood estimates. Sub-models of the special cases were also obtained together with their structural properties. A simulation study to examine the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators for each parameter is presented. Finally, real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed model

<abstract><p>In this study, we estimate the unknown parameters, reliability, and hazard functions using a generalized Type-I progressive hybrid censoring sample from a Weibull distribution. Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian estimates are calculated using a choice of prior distributions and loss functions, including squared error, general entropy, and LINEX. Unobserved failure point and interval Bayesian predictions, as well as a future progressive censored sample, are also developed. Finally, we run some simulation tests for the Bayesian approach and numerical example on real data sets using the MCMC algorithm.</p></abstract>

In the present study, the Pareto model is considered as the model from which observations are to be estimated using a Bayesian approach. Properties of the Bayes estimators for the unknown parameters have studied by using different asymmetric loss functions on hybrid censoring pattern and their risks have compared. The properties of maximum likelihood estimation and approximate confidence length have also been investigated under hybrid censoring. The performances of the procedures are illustrated based on simulated data obtained under the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and a real data set.

In this paper, a new generalization of the Generalized Pareto distribution is proposed using the generator suggested in [1], named as Khalil Extended Generalized Pareto (KEGP) distribution. Various shapes of the suggested model and important mathematical properties are investigated that includes moments, quantile function, moment-generating function, measures of entropy, and order statistics. Parametric estimation of the model is discussed using the technique of maximum likelihood. A simulation study is performed for the assessment of the maximum likelihood estimates in terms of their bias and mean squared error using simulated sample estimates. The practical applications are illustrated via two real data sets from survival and reliability theory. The suggested model provided better fits than the other considered models.

Lifetime data collected from reliability tests are among data that often exhibit significant heterogeneity caused by variations in manufacturing which make standard lifetime models inadequate. In this paper we introduce a new lifetime distribution derived from T-X family technique called exponentiated exponential Burr XII (EE-BXII) distribution. We establish various mathematical properties. The maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) for the EE-BXII parameters are derived. We estimate the precision of the maximum likelihood estimators via simulation study. Some numerical illustrations are performed to study the behavior of the obtained estimators. Finally the model is applied to a real dataset. We apply goodness of fit statistics and graphical tools to examine the adequacy of the EE-BXII distribution. The importance of this research lies in deriving a new distribution under the name EE-BXII, which is considered the best distributions in analyzing data of life times at present if compared to many distributions in analysis real data.

Abstract We propose a new generalized class of distributions called Lindley-Weibull Power Series (LWPS) distributions and their special case called Lindley-Weibull logarithmic (LWL) distributions. Structural properties of the LWPS class of distributions and its sub-model LWL distribution including moments, order statistics, Rényi entropy, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and maximum likelihood estimates are derived. A simulation study to examine the bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators for each parameter is presented. Finally, real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed class of distributions.
