In this article, we have proposed a new generalization of the odd Weibull-G family by consolidating two notable families of distributions. We have derived various mathematical properties of the proposed family, including quantile function, skewness, kurtosis, moments, incomplete moments, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, probability weighted moments, moments of (reversed) residual lifetime, entropy and order statistics. After producing the general class, two of the corresponding parametric statistical models are outlined. The hazard rate function of the sub-models can take a variety of shapes such as increasing, decreasing, unimodal, and Bathtub shaped, for different values of the parameters. Furthermore, the sub-models of the introduced family are also capable of modelling symmetric and skewed data. The parameter estimation of the special models are discussed by numerous methods, namely, the maximum likelihood, simple least squares, weighted least squares, Cramér-von Mises, and Bayesian estimation. Under the Bayesian framework, we have used informative and non-informative priors to obtain Bayes estimates of unknown parameters with the squared error and generalized entropy loss functions. An extensive Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to assess the effectiveness of these estimation techniques. The applicability of two sub-models of the proposed family is illustrated by means of two real data sets.

This article addresses the various properties and different methods of estimation of the unknown parameters of a three-parameter Dagum distribution from the frequentist point of view. Although, our main focus is on estimation from frequentist point of view, yet, various mathematical and statistical properties of the Dagum distribution (such as quantiles, moments, moment generating function, hazard rate, mean residual lifetime, mean past lifetime, mean deviation about mean and median,  various entropies, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and order statistics) are derived. We briefly describe different frequentist approaches, namely, maximum likelihood estimators, moments estimators, L-moment estimators, percentile based estimators, least squares estimators, maximum product of spacings estimators,  minimum distances estimators, Cram\'{e}r-von-Mises estimators, Anderson-Darling and right-tail Anderson-Darling estimators and compare them using extensive numerical simulations. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. Finally, a real data set have been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

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.

This paper aims to find a statistical model for the COVID-19 spread in the United Kingdom and Canada. We used an efficient and superior model for fitting the COVID 19 mortality rates in these countries by specifying an optimal statistical model. A new lifetime distribution with two-parameter is introduced by a combination of inverted Topp-Leone distribution and modified Kies family to produce the modified Kies inverted Topp-Leone (MKITL) distribution, which covers a lot of application that both the traditional inverted Topp-Leone and the modified Kies provide poor fitting for them. This new distribution has many valuable properties as simple linear representation, hazard rate function, and moment function. We made several methods of estimations as maximum likelihood estimation, least squares estimators, weighted least-squares estimators, maximum product spacing, Crame´r-von Mises estimators, and Anderson-Darling estimators methods are applied to estimate the unknown parameters of MKITL distribution. A numerical result of the Monte Carlo simulation is obtained to assess the use of estimation methods. also, we applied different data sets to the new distribution to assess its performance in modeling data.

This article addresses the various properties and different methods of estimation of the unknown parameters of the Transmuted Rayleigh (TR) distribution from the frequentist point of view. Although, our main focus is on estimation from frequentist point of view,  yet, various mathematical and statistical properties of the TR distribution (such as quantiles, moments, moment generating function, conditional moments,  hazard rate, mean residual lifetime, mean past lifetime,  mean deviation about mean and median, the stochastic ordering,  various entropies, stress-strength parameter  and order statistics) are derived.  We briefly describe different frequentist methods of estimation approaches, namely, maximum likelihood estimators, moments estimators, L-moment estimators, percentile based estimators, least squares estimators, method of maximum product of spacings,  method of Cram\'er-von-Mises, methods of Anderson-Darling and right-tail Anderson-Darling and compare them using extensive numerical simulations. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. Finally, the potentiality of the model is analyzed by means of two real data sets which is further illustrated by obtaining bias and standard error of the estimates and the bootstrap percentile confidence intervals using bootstrap resampling.

The Muth distribution is a continuous random variable introduced in the context of reliability theory. In this paper, some mathematical properties of the model are derived, including analytical expressions for the moment generating function, moments, mode, quantile function and moments of the order statistics. In this regard, the generalized integro-exponential function, the Lambert W function and the golden ratio arise in a natural way. The parameter estimation of the model is performed by the methods of maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares and moments, which are compared via a Monte Carlo simulation study. A natural extension of the model is considered as well as an application to a real data set.

This paper proposes the new three-parameter type I half-logistic inverse Weibull (TIHLIW) distribution which generalizes the inverse Weibull model. The density function of the TIHLIW can be expressed as a linear combination of the inverse Weibull densities. Some mathematical quantities of the proposed TIHLIW model are derived. Four estimation methods, namely, the maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, and Cramér–von Mises methods, are utilized to estimate the TIHLIW parameters. Simulation results are presented to assess the performance of the proposed estimation methods. The importance of the TIHLIW model is studied via a real data application.

This paper introduces an inverse power Akash distribution as a generalization of the Akash distribution to provide better fits than the Akash distribution and some of its known extensions. The fundamental properties of the proposed distribution such as the shapes of the distribution, moments, mean, variance, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, moment generating function, quantile function, Rényi entropy, stochastic ordering and the distribution of order statistics have been derived. The proposed distribution is observed to be a heavy-tailed distribution and can also be used to model data with upside-down bathtub shape for its hazard rate function. The maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters of the proposed distribution have been obtained. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed distribution and for the two real data sets, the proposed distribution is found to be superior in its ability to sufficiently model heavy-tailed data than Akash, inverse Akash and power Akash distributions respectively.

In this paper, it is considered the problem of estimation of unknown parameters of log-Kumaraswamy distribution via Monte-Carlo simulations. Firstly, it is described six different estimation methods such as maximum likelihood, approximate bayesian, least-squares, weighted least-squares, percentile, and Cramer-von-Mises. Then, it is performed a Monte-Carlo simulation study to evaluate the performances of these methods according to the biases and mean-squared errors of the estimators. Furthermore, two real data applications based on carbon fibers and the gauge lengths are presented to compare the fits of log-Kumaraswamy and other fitted statistical distributions.

In this article, a new four-parameter lifetime model called the exponentiated generalized inverted Gompertz distribution is studied and proposed. The newly proposed distribution is able to model the lifetimes with upside-down bathtub-shaped hazard rates and is suitable for describing the negative and positive skewness. A detailed description of some various properties of this model, including the reliability function, hazard rate function, quantile function, and median, mode, moments, moment generating function, entropies, kurtosis, and skewness, mean waiting lifetime, and others are presented. The parameters of the studied model are appreciated using four various estimation methods, the maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, and Cramér-von Mises methods. A simulation study is carried out to examine the performance of the new model estimators based on the four estimation methods using the mean squared errors (MSEs) and the bias estimates. The flexibility of the proposed model is clarified by studying four different engineering applications to symmetric and asymmetric data, and it is found that this model is more flexible and works quite well for modeling these data.
