Family Of Distributions

In this paper, we first show a new probability result which can be concisely formulated as follows: the function 2 G β / ( 1 + G α ) , where G denotes a baseline cumulative distribution function of a continuous distribution, can have the properties of a cumulative distribution function beyond the standard assumptions on α and β (possibly different and negative, among others). Then, we provide a complete mathematical treatment of the corresponding family of distributions, called the ratio exponentiated general family. To link it with the existing literature, it constitutes a natural extension of the type II half logistic-G family or, from another point of view, a compromise between the so-called exponentiated-G and Marshall-Olkin-G families. We show that it possesses tractable probability functions, desirable stochastic ordering properties and simple analytical expressions for the moments, among others. Also, it reaches high levels of flexibility in a wide statistical sense, mainly thanks to the wide ranges of possible values for α and β and thus, can be used quite effectively for the real data analysis. We illustrate this last point by considering the Weibull distribution as baseline and three practical data sets, with estimation of the model parameters by the maximum likelihood method.

Transmutation is the functional composition of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of one distribution with the inverse cumulative distribution function (quantile function) of another. Shaw and Buckley(2007), first apply this concept and introduced quadratic transmuted family of distributions. In this article, we have presented a review about the transmuted families of distributions. We have also listed the transmuted distributions, available in the literature along with some concluding remarks.

New Class

In recent advances in distribution theory, the Weibull distribution has often been used to generate new classes of univariate continuous distributions. They find many applications in important disciplines such as medicine, biology, engineering, economics, informatics, and finance; their usefulness is synonymous with success. In this study, a new Weibull-generated-type class is presented, called the weighted odd Weibull generated class. Its definition is based on a cumulative distribution function, which combines a specific weighted odd function with the cumulative distribution function of the Weibull distribution. This weighted function was chosen to make the new class a real alternative in the first-order stochastic sense to two of the most famous existing Weibull generated classes: the Weibull-G and Weibull-H classes. Its mathematical properties are provided, leading to the study of various probabilistic functions and measures of interest. In a consequent part of the study, the focus is on a special three-parameter survival distribution of the new class defined with the standard exponential distribution as a reference. The exploratory analysis reveals a high level of adaptability of the corresponding probability density and hazard rate functions; the curves of the probability density function can be decreasing, reversed N shaped, and unimodal with heterogeneous skewness and tail weight properties, and the curves of the hazard rate function demonstrate increasing, decreasing, almost constant, and bathtub shapes. These qualities are often required for diverse data fitting purposes. In light of the above, the corresponding data fitting methodology has been developed; we estimate the model parameters via the likelihood function maximization method, the efficiency of which is proven by a detailed simulation study. Then, the new model is applied to engineering and environmental data, surpassing several generalizations or extensions of the exponential model, including some derived from established Weibull-generated classes; the Weibull-G and Weibull-H classes are considered. Standard criteria give credit to the proposed model; for the considered data, it is considered the best.

Wind Distribution

<p>Weibull Cumulative Distribution Function (C.D.F.) has been employed to assess and compare wind potentials of two wind stations Europlatform and Stavenisse of The Netherland. Weibull distribution has been used for accurate estimation of wind energy potential for a long time. The Weibull distribution with two parameters is suitable for modeling wind data if wind distribution is unimodal. Whereas wind distribution is generally unimodal, random weather changes can make the distribution bimodal. It is always desirable to find a method that accurately represents actual statistical data. Some well-known statistical methods are Method of Moment (MoM), Linear Least Square Method (LLSM), Maximum Likelihood Method (M.L.M.), Modified Maximum Likelihood Method (MMLM), Energy Pattern Factor Method (EPFM), and Empirical Method (E.M.), etc. All these methods employ Probability Density Function (PDF) of Weibull distribution, except LLSM, which uses Cumulative Distribution Function (C.D.F.). In this communication, we are presenting a newly proposed method of evaluating Weibull parameters. Unlike most methods, this new method employs a cumulative distribution function. A MATLAB® GUI-based simulation is developed to estimate Weibull parameters using the C.D.F. approach. It is found that the Mean Square Error (M.S.E.) is the lowest when using the new method. The new method, therefore, estimates wind power density with reasonable accuracy. Wind Power (W.P.) is estimated by considering four different Wind Turbine (W.T.) models for two sites, and maximum W.P. is found using Evance R9000.</p>

A new continuous distribution model is introduced, joining triangular and exponential features, respectively on the left and right side of a hinge point. The cumulative distribution function is derived, as well as the first three moments. Expected values and the Pearson index of skewness are tabulated. A possible step-by-step approach to parameter estimation is outlined. An application to Italian geographical data is given, referring to a set of municipalities classified by population, showing a very satisfactory goodness of fit.

AbstractInvestigating snow avalanches using a purely statistical approach raises several issues. First, even in the heavily populated areas of the Alps, there are few data on avalanche motion or extension. Second, most of the field data are related to the point of furthest reach in the avalanche path (run-out distance or altitude). As data of this kind are tightly dependent on the avalanche path profile, it is a priori not permissible to extrapolate the cumulative distribution function fitted to these data without severe restrictions or further assumptions. Using deterministic models is also problematic, as these are not really physically based models. For instance, they do not include all the phenomena occurring in the avalanche movement, and the rheological behaviour of the snow is not known. Consequently, it is not easy to predetermine extreme-event extensions. Here, in order to overcome this problem, we propose to use a conceptual approach. First, using an avalanche-dynamics numerical model, we fitted the model parameters (friction coefficients and the volume of snow involved in the avalanches) to the field data. Then, using these parameters as random variables, we adjusted appropriate statistical distributions. The last steps involved simulating a large number of (fictitious) avalanches using the Monte Carlo approach. Thus, the cumulative distribution function of the run-out distance can be computed over a much broader range than was initially possible with the historical data. In this paper, we develop the proposed method through a complete case study, comparing two different models.

Family Of Distributions

In this paper, we introduce a new general family of distributions obtained by a subtle combination of two well-established families of distributions: the so-called power Topp–Leone-G and inverse exponential-G families. Its definition is centered around an original cumulative distribution function involving exponential and polynomial functions. Some desirable theoretical properties of the new family are discussed in full generality, with comprehensive results on stochastic ordering, quantile function and related measures, general moments and related measures, and the Shannon entropy. Then, a statistical parametric model is constructed from a special member of the family, defined with the use of the inverse Lomax distribution as the baseline distribution. The maximum likelihood method was applied to estimate the unknown model parameters. From the general theory of this method, the asymptotic confidence intervals of these parameters were deduced. A simulation study was conducted to evaluate the numerical behavior of the estimates we obtained. Finally, in order to highlight the practical perspectives of the new family, two real-life data sets were analyzed. All the measures considered are favorable to the new model in comparison to four serious competitors.

Family Of Distributions

In this paper, a modified exponentiated family of distributions is introduced. The new model was built from a continuous parent cumulative distribution function and depends on a shape parameter. Its most relevant characteristics have been obtained: the probability density function, quantile function, moments, stochastic ordering, Poisson mixture with our proposal as the mixing distribution, order statistics, tail behavior and estimates of parameters. We highlight the particular model based on the classical exponential distribution, which is an alternative to the exponentiated exponential, gamma and Weibull. A simulation study and a real application are presented. It is shown that the proposed family of distributions is of interest to applied areas, such as economics, reliability and finances.
