This study introduces a flexible model with two parameters by combining the type II half-logistic-G family with the inverted Topp–Leone distribution. The proposed model is referred to as the half logistic inverted Topp–Leone (HLITL) distribution. The associated probability density function can be considered a mixture of the inverted Topp–Leone distributions. The proposed model can be deemed an acceptable model for fitting the right-skewed, reversed J-shaped, and unimodal data. The statistical properties, including the moments, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, Rényi entropy, and quantile function, are derived. Additionally, the plots of the skewness and kurtosis measures are plotted based on the quantiles. The parameter estimators are implemented using the maximum likelihood method based on two sampling schemes: the simple random sample method and the ranked set sampling method. The proposed method is evaluated by using simulations. The results show that the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters under ranked set sampling are more accurate than those under simple random sampling. Generally, there is good agreement between the theoretical and empirical results. Two real datasets are used to compare the HLITL model with the following models: alpha power exponential, alpha power Lindley, odd Fréchet inverse exponential, and odd Fréchet inverse Rayleigh models. The comparison results show that the HLITL model represents a better alternative lifetime distribution than the other competitive distributions.

Advanced Sampling

In this manuscript, we investigate the estimation of the unknown reliability measure R = P [Y < X], in the case where Y and X are two independent random variables with Topp–Leone distributions. As the main contribution, various advanced sampling strategies are studied. The suggested strategies are simple random, ranked set, and median ranked set samplings. Firstly, based on the maximum likelihood, we give an efficient estimator of R when the observations of the two random variables are selected from the same simple random sample. Secondly, such an estimator is addressed when the observations of the two random variables are selected from the ranked set sampling method. Then, based on median ranked set sampling, the maximum likelihood estimator of R is addressed in all the four cases. When the observations from the two random variables are selected from the same set size, two cases are considered, while the other two cases are considered at different set sizes. A simulation research is developed to evaluate the behavior of the obtained estimates based on standard and median ranked set samplings with their simple random sampling equivalents. The ratio of mean square error is used to assess the effectiveness of these estimates.

Extreme Ranked Set Sampling

Abstract In this study, we estimate the parameters of the Generalized Exponential Distribution using Moving Extreme Ranked Set Sampling (MERSS). Using the maximum likelihood estimation method, we derive the expressions. MERSS estimates are compared with estimates obtained by simple random sampling (SRS) using a real data set. We also study the other variations of the methods of Ranked Set Sampling like Quartile Ranked Set Sampling(QRSS), Median Ranked Set Sampling(MRSS) and Flexible Ranked Set Sampling(FLERSS) (a scheme based on QRSS and MRSS). For known shape parameter values, we present coefficients for linear combinations of order statistics for least squares estimates. Here, the expressions are derived through maximum likelihood, and the estimates are calculated numerically. Simulated results indicate that estimates generated using least-squares and the maximum likelihood method for Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) perform better than those generated using Simple Random Sampling (SRS). Asymptotically, MERSS outperforms SRS, QRSS, MRSS, and FLERSS.

The Value Function

Design for disassembly and reuse focuses on developing methods to minimize difficulty in disassembly for maintenance or reuse. These methods can gain substantially if the relationship between component attributes (material mix, ease of disassembly etc.) and their likelihood of reuse or disposal is understood. For products already in the marketplace, a feedback approach that evaluates willingness of manufacturers or customers (decision makers) to reuse a component can reveal how attributes of a component affect reuse decisions. This paper introduces some metrics and combines them with ones proposed in literature into a measure that captures the overall value of a decision made by the decision makers. The premise is that the decision makers would choose a decision that has the maximum value. Four decisions are considered regarding a component’s fate after recovery ranging from direct reuse to disposal. A method on the lines of discrete choice theory is utilized that uses maximum likelihood estimates to determine the parameters that define the value function. The maximum likelihood method can take inputs from actual decisions made by the decision makers to assess the value function. This function can be used to determine the likelihood that the component takes a certain path (one of the four decisions), taking as input its attributes, which can facilitate long range planning and also help determine ways reuse decisions can be influenced.

Some mathematical properties are derived and maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are obtained. Certain characterizations of the proposed family are also provided. A simulation study is done to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, an application of the proposed model to the vehicle insurance loss data set is presented.

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

Robust Estimates

In the present work, a weighed maximum likelihood method (WMLM) is proposed to obtain robust estimates for processing experimental data containing outliers. The method allows robust asymptotic unbiased and effective estimates to be obtained in the presence of not only external, but also internal asymmetric and symmetric outliers. Algorithms for obtaining robust WMLM estimates are considered at the parametric level of aprioristic uncertainty. It is demonstrated that these estimates converge to maximum likelihood estimates of an inhomogeneous sample for each distribution from the Tukey supermodel.

Inverse Weibull Distribution

A flexible lifetime distribution with increasing, decreasing, inverted bathtub and modified bathtub hazard rate called Modified Burr XII-Inverse Weibull (MBXII-IW) is introduced and studied. The density function of MBXII-IW is exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped.  Descriptive measures on the basis of quantiles, moments, order statistics and reliability measures are theoretically established. The MBXII-IW distribution is characterized via different techniques. Parameters of MBXII-IW distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study is performed to illustrate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). The potentiality of MBXII-IW distribution is demonstrated by its application to real data sets: serum-reversal times and quarterly earnings.

In this paper, a new three-parameter lifetime distribution is introduced; the new model is a generalization of the log-logistic (LL) model, and it is called the alpha power transformed log-logistic (APTLL) distribution. The APTLL distribution is more flexible than some generalizations of log-logistic distribution. We derived some mathematical properties including moments, moment-generating function, quantile function, Rényi entropy, and order statistics of the new model. The model parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood method of estimation. The simulation study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of the estimates. Finally, we used one real-life dataset to show the flexibility of the APTLL distribution.

Family Of Distributions

Alizadeh et al. introduced a flexible family of distributions, in the so-called Gompertz-G family. In this article, a discrete analogue of the Gompertz-G family is proposed. We also study some of its distributional properties and reliability characteristics. After introducing the general class, three special models of the new family are discussed in detail. The maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the family parameters. A simulation study is carried out to assess the performance of the family parameters. Finally, the flexibility of the new family is illustrated by means of four genuine datasets, and it is found that the proposed model provides a better fit than the competitive distributions.
