In this study, we propose a new flexible two-parameter continuous distribution with support on the unit interval. It can be identified as a special member of the so-called type I half-logistic-G family of distributions, defined with the Topp–Leone distribution as baseline. Among its features, the corresponding probability density function can be left skewed, right-skewed, approximately symmetric, J-shaped, as well as reverse J-shaped, making it suitable for modeling a wide variety of data sets. It thus provides an alternative to the so-called beta and Kumaraswamy distributions. The mathematical properties of the new distribution are determined, deriving the asymptotes, shapes, quantile function, skewness, kurtosis, some power series expansions, ordinary moments, incomplete moments, moment-generating function, stress strength parameter, and order statistics. Then, a statistical treatment of the related model is proposed. The estimation of the unknown parameters is performed by a simulation study exploring seven methods, all described in detail. Two practical data sets are analyzed, showing the usefulness of the new proposed model.

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 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.

This paper introduced a relatively new mixture distribution that results from a mixture of Fréchet–Weibull and Pareto distributions. Some properties of the new statistical model were derived, such as moments with their related measures, moment generating function, mean residual life function, and mean deviation. Furthermore , different estimation methods were introduced for determining the unknown parameters of the proposed model. Finally, we introduced three real data sets which were applied to our distribution and compared them with other well-known statistical competitive models to show the superiority of our model for fitting the three real data sets, and we can clearly see that our distribution outperforms its competitors. Also, to verify our results, we carried out the existence and uniqueness test to the log-likelihood to determine whether the roots are global maximum or not.

New Distribution

A new two-parameter continuous distribution called the Two-Parameter Nwikpe (TPAN) distribution is derived in this paper. The new distribution is a mixture of gamma and exponential distributions. A few statistical properties of the new probability distribution have been derived. The shape of its density for different values of the parameters has also been established.  The first four crude moments, the second and third moments about the mean of the new distribution were derived using the method of moment generating function. Other statistical properties derived include; the distribution of order statistics, coefficient of variation and coefficient of skewness. The parameters of the new distribution were estimated using maximum likelihood method. The flexibility of the Two-Parameter Nwikpe (TPAN) distribution was shown by fitting the distribution to three real life data sets. The goodness of fit shows that the new distribution outperforms the one parameter exponential, Shanker and Amarendra distributions for the data sets used for this study.

In this study, we proposed a flexible lifetime model identified as the modified exponentiated Kumaraswamy (MEK) distribution. Some distributional and reliability properties were derived and discussed, including explicit expressions for the moments, quantile function, and order statistics. We discussed all the possible shapes of the density and the failure rate functions. We utilized the method of maximum likelihood to estimate the unknown parameters of the MEK distribution and executed a simulation study to assess the asymptotic behavior of the MLEs. Four suitable lifetime data sets we engaged and modeled, to disclose the usefulness and the dominance of the MEK distribution over its participant models.

New Distribution

In this paper we introduced Gompertz Gumbel II (GG II) distribution which generalizes the Gumbel II distribution. The new distribution is a flexible exponential type distribution which can be used in modeling real life data with varying degree of asymmetry. Unlike the Gumbel II distribution which exhibits a monotone decreasing failure rate, the new distribution is useful for modeling unimodal (Bathtub-shaped) failure rates which sometimes characterised the real life data. Structural properties of the new distribution namely, density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, moment generating function, orders statistics, Stochastic Ordering, Renyi entropy were obtained. For the main formulas related to our model, we present numerical studies that illustrate the practicality of computational implementation using statistical software. We also present a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators for the GGTT model. Three life data sets were used for applications in order to illustrate the flexibility of the new model.

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.

Compound Distribution

A new three-parameter generalized distribution, namely, half-logistic generalized Weibull (HLGW) distribution, is proposed. The proposed distribution exhibits increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped, unimodal, and decreasing-increasing-decreasing hazard rates. The distribution is a compound distribution of type I half-logistic-G and Dimitrakopoulou distribution. The new model includes half-logistic Weibull distribution, half-logistic exponential distribution, and half-logistic Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution as submodels. Some distributional properties of the new model are investigated which include the density function shapes and the failure rate function, raw moments, moment generating function, order statistics, L-moments, and quantile function. The parameters involved in the model are estimated using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The asymptotic distribution of the estimators is also investigated via Fisher’s information matrix. The likelihood ratio (LR) test is used to compare the HLGW distribution with its submodels. Some applications of the proposed distribution using real data sets are included to examine the usefulness of the distribution.
