This article introduces an extension of the Power Muth (PM) distribution for modeling positive data sets with a high coefficient of kurtosis. The resulting distribution has greater kurtosis than the PM distribution. We show that the density can be represented based on the incomplete generalized integro-exponential function. We study some of its properties and moments, and its coefficients of asymmetry and kurtosis. We apply estimations using the moments and maximum likelihood methods and present a simulation study to illustrate parameter recovery. The results of application to two real data sets indicate that the new model performs very well in the presence of outliers.

We proposed a so-called Beta Kumaraswamy Burr Type X distribution which gives the extension of the Kumaraswamy-G class of family distribution. Some properties of this proposed model were provided, like: the expansion of densities and quantile function. We considered the Bayes and maximum likelihood methods to estimate the parameters and also simulate the model parameters to validate the methods based on different set of true values. Some real data sets were employed to show the usefulness and flexibility of the model which serves as generalization to many sub-models in the field of engineering, medical, survival and reliability analysis.

Family Of Distributions

Specifying a proper statistical model to represent asymmetric lifetime data with high kurtosis is an open problem. In this paper, the three-parameter, modified, slashed, generalized Rayleigh family of distributions is proposed. Its structural properties are studied: stochastic representation, probability density function, hazard rate function, moments and estimation of parameters via maximum likelihood methods. As merits of our proposal, we highlight as particular cases a plethora of lifetime models, such as Rayleigh, Maxwell, half-normal and chi-square, among others, which are able to accommodate heavy tails. A simulation study and applications to real data sets are included to illustrate the use of our results.

AbstractIn this paper, a new probability density function with bounded domain is presented. The new distribution arises from the Lindley distribution proposed in 1958. It presents the advantage of not including any special function in its formulation. The new transformed model, called the reflected-shifted-truncated Lindley distribution can be used to model left-skewed data. We provide a comprehensive treatment of general mathematical and statistical properties of this distribution. We estimate the model parameters by maximum likelihood methods based on complete and right-censored data. To assess the performance and consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators, we conduct a simulation study with varying sample sizes. Finally, we use the distribution to model left-skewed survival and failure data from two real data sets. For the real data sets containing complete data and right-censored data, this distribution is superior in its ability to sufficiently model the data as compared to the power Lindley, exponentiated power Lindley, generalized inverse Lindley, generalized weighted Lindley and the well-known Gompertz distributions.

Tuning Methods

Functional data analysis techniques, such as penalized splines, have become common tools used in a variety of applied research settings. Penalized spline estimators are frequently used in applied research to estimate unknown functions from noisy data. The success of these estimators depends on choosing a tuning parameter that provides the correct balance between fitting and smoothing the data. Several different smoothing parameter selection methods have been proposed for choosing a reasonable tuning parameter. The proposed methods generally fall into one of three categories: cross-validation methods, information theoretic methods, or maximum likelihood methods. Despite the well-known importance of selecting an ideal smoothing parameter, there is little agreement in the literature regarding which method(s) should be considered when analyzing real data. In this paper, we address this issue by exploring the practical performance of six popular tuning methods under a variety of simulated and real data situations. Our results reveal that maximum likelihood methods outperform the popular cross-validation methods in most situations—especially in the presence of correlated errors. Furthermore, our results reveal that the maximum likelihood methods perform well even when the errors are non-Gaussian and/or heteroscedastic. For real data applications, we recommend comparing results using cross-validation and maximum likelihood tuning methods, given that these methods tend to perform similarly (differently) when the model is correctly (incorrectly) specified.

Family Of Distributions

In this paper, we developed a new class of continuous distributions called Burr X Exponential-G Family. Also, we obtained sub-models of this family of distributions such as Burr X Exponential-Rayleigh (BXE-R) and Burr X Exponential Lomax (BXE-Lx) distributions; by showing their respective densities functions. Some structural properties of the proposed family of distributions were derived such as moment, moment generating function, probability weighted moment, renyi entropy and order statistics. We estimate the parameters of the model by using Maximum Likelihood methods. Finally, the results obtained are validated using two real data sets. The results show that BXE-Lx distribution provides better fit in the data sets than some other well known distributions. However, this new family of distributions will serve as an additional generator for developing new sub models to modeling positive real data sets.

We find that the maximum likelihood method proposed by J. K. M. Brown has deficiencies that limit its usefulness for actual data sets. We propose two alternative statistical methods based on maximum likelihood that could be used to quantify rates of recombination and immigration in fungal populations. We also show that minor modification of our original method, which was based upon posterior probabilities, leads to a result that is identical to one of the maximum likelihood methods. Our previous estimates of the relative contributions of sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction, and immigration to the genetic structure of a Mycosphaerella graminicola population did not change significantly following reanalysis of our data with these new methods.
