This paper introduces a new family of distributions for modelling censored multimodal data. The model extends the widely known tobit model by introducing two parameters that control the shape and the asymmetry of the distribution. Basic properties of this new family of distributions are studied in detail and a model for censored positive data is also studied. The problem of estimating parameters is addressed by considering the maximum likelihood method. The score functions and the elements of the observed information matrix are given. Finally, three applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.

This paper introduces a new family of asymmetric distributions that allows to fit unimodal as well as bimodal and trimodal data sets. The model extends the normal model by introducing two parameters that control the shape and the asymmetry of the distribution. Basic properties of this new distribution are studied in detail. The problem of estimating parameters is addressed by considering the maximum likelihood method and Fisher information matrix is derived. A small Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to examine the performance of the obtained estimators. Finally, two data set are considered to illustrate the developed methodology.

The need to develop generalizations of existing statistical distributions to make them more flexible in modeling real data sets is vital in parametric statistical modeling and inference. Thus, this study develops a new class of distributions called the extended odd Fréchet family of distributions for modifying existing standard distributions. Two special models named the extended odd Fréchet Nadarajah-Haghighi and extended odd Fréchet Weibull distributions are proposed using the developed family. The densities and the hazard rate functions of the two special distributions exhibit different kinds of monotonic and nonmonotonic shapes. The maximum likelihood method is used to develop estimators for the parameters of the new class of distributions. The application of the special distributions is illustrated by means of a real data set. The results revealed that the special distributions developed from the new family can provide reasonable parametric fit to the given data set compared to other existing distributions.

In this paper, we present a new family, depending on additive Weibull random variable as a generator, called the generalized additive Weibull generated-family (GAW-G) of distributions with two extra parameters. The proposed family involves several of the most famous classical distributions as well as the new generalized Weibull-G family which already accomplished by Cordeiro et al. (2015). Four special models are displayed. The expressions for the incomplete and ordinary moments, quantile, order statistics, mean deviations, Lorenz and Benferroni curves are derived. Maximum likelihood method of estimation is employed to obtain the parameter estimates of the family. The simulation study of the new models is conducted. The efficiency and importance of the new generated family is examined through real data sets.

We propose a new generator of univariate continuous distributions with two extra parameters called the transmuted odd-Lindley generator which extends the odd Lindely-G family introduced by Gomes-Silva et al. [1]. Some mathematical properties of the new generator such as, the ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, stress strength model, Rényi entropy, probability weighted moments and order statistics are investigated. Certain characterisations of the proposed family are estimated. We discuss the maximum likelihood estimates and the observed information matrix for the model parameters. The potentiality of the new family is illustrated by means of five applications to real data sets.

In this paper, we propose a new asymmetric and heavy-tail model that generalizes both the skew-t and power-t models. Properties of the model are studied in detail. The score functions and the elements of the observed information matrix are given. The process to estimate the parameters in model is discussed by using the maximum likelihood approach. Also, the observed information matrix is shown to be non-singular at the whole parametric space. Two applications to real data sets are reported to demonstrate the usefulness of this new model.

This article investigates the T-X class of Topp Leone- G family of distributions. Some members of the new family are discussed.  The exponential-Topp Leone-exponential distribution (ETLED) which is one of the members of the family is derived and some of its properties which include central and non-central moments, quantiles, incomplete moments, conditional moments, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, survival and hazard functions, moment generating function, characteristic function and R`enyi entropy are established. The probability density function (pdf) of order statistics of the model is obtained and the parameter estimation is addressed with the maximum likelihood method (MLE). Three real data sets are used to demonstrate its application and the results are compared with two other models in the literature.

In this paper, we introduce a new family of distributions extending the odd family of distributions. A new tuning parameter is introduced, with some connections to the well-known transmuted transformation. Some mathematical results are obtained, including moments, generating function and order statistics. Then, we study a special case dealing with the standard loglogistic distribution and the modifiedWeibull distribution. Its main features are to have densities with flexible shapes where skewness, kurtosis, heavy tails and modality can be observed, and increasing-decreasing-increasing, unimodal and bathtub shaped hazard rate functions. Estimation of the related parameters is investigated by the maximum likelihood method. We illustrate the usefulness of our extended odd family of distributions with applications to two practical data sets.

Mahdavi A. and Kundu D. (2017) introduced a family for generating univariate distributions called the alpha power transformation. They studied as a special case the properties of the alpha power transformed exponential distribution. We provide some mathematical properties of this distribution and define a four-parameter lifetime model called the alpha power exponentiated Weibull distribution. It generalizes some well-known lifetime models such as the exponentiated exponential, exponentiated Rayleigh, exponentiated Weibull and Weibull distributions. The importance of the new distribution comes from its ability to model monotone and non-monotone failure rate functions, which are quite common in reliability studies. We derive some basic properties of the proposed distribution including quantile and generating functions, moments and order statistics. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. Simulation results investigate the performance of the estimates. We illustrate the importance of the proposed distribution over the McDonald Weibull, beta Weibull, modified Weibull, transmuted Weibull and exponentiated Weibull distributions by means of two real data sets.

We proposed a new family of distributions from a half logistic model called the generalized odd half logistic family. We expressed its density function as a linear combination of exponentiated densities. We calculate some statistical properties as the moments, probability weighted moment, quantile and order statistics. Two new special models are mentioned. We study the estimation of the parameters for the odd generalized half logistic exponential and the odd generalized half logistic Rayleigh models by using maximum likelihood method. One real data set is assesed to illustrate the usefulness of the subject family.

Background: In the last few years, statisticians have introduced new generated families of univariate distributions. These new generators are obtained by adding one or more extra shape parameters to the underlying distribution to get more flexibility in fitting data in different areas such as medical sciences, economics, finance and environmental sciences. The addition of parameter(s) has been proven useful in exploring tail properties and also for improving the goodness-of-fit of the family of distributions under study. Methods: A new three-parameter family of distributions was introduced by using the idea of T-X methodology. Some statistical properties of the new family were derived and studied. Results: A new Topp Leone Kumaraswamy-G family of distributions was introduced. Two special sub-models, that is, the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy exponential distribution and Topp Leone Kumaraswamy log-logistic distribution were investigated. Two real data sets were used to assess the flexibility of the sub-models. Conclusion: The results suggest that the two sub-models performed better than their competitors.
