<abstract><p>Recently, a new lifetime distribution known as a generalized Quasi Lindley distribution (GQLD) is suggested. In this paper, we modified the GQLD and suggested a two parameters lifetime distribution called as a weighted generalized Quasi Lindley distribution (WGQLD). The main mathematical properties of the WGQLD including the moments, coefficient of variation, coefficient of skewness, coefficient of kurtosis, stochastic ordering, median deviation, harmonic mean, and reliability functions are derived. The model parameters are estimated by using the ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, maximum likelihood, maximum product of spacing's, Anderson-Darling and Cramer-von-Mises methods. The performances of the proposed estimators are compared based on numerical calculations for various values of the distribution parameters and sample sizes in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) and estimated values (Es). To demonstrate the applicability of the new model, four applications of various real data sets consist of the infected cases in Covid-19 in Algeria and Saudi Arabia, carbon fibers and rain fall are analyzed for illustration. It turns out that the WGQLD is empirically better than the other competing distributions considered in this study.</p></abstract>

We have studied one of the most common distributions, namely, Lindley distribution, which is an important continuous mixed distribution with great ability to represent different systems. We studied this distribution with three parameters because of its high flexibility in modelling life data. The parameters were estimated by five different methods, namely, maximum likelihood estimation, ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, maximum product of spacing, and Cramér-von Mises. Simulation experiments were performed with different sample sizes and different parameter values. The different methods were compared on the generated data by mean square error and mean absolute error. In addition, we compared the methods for real data, which represent COVID-19 data in Iraq/Anbar Province.

n many applied areas there is a clear need for the extended forms of the well-known distributions.The new distributions are more flexible to model real data that present a high degree of skewness and kurtosis, such that each one solves a particular part of the classical distribution problems. In this paper, a new two-parameter Generalized Odd Gamma distribution, called the (GOGaU) distribution, is introduced and the fitness capability of this model are investigated. Some structural properties of the new distribution are obtained. The different methods including: Maximum likelihood estimators, Bayesian estimators (posterior mean and maximum a posterior), least squares estimators, weighted least squares estimators, Cramér-von-Mises estimators, Anderson-Darling and right tailed Anderson-Darling estimators are discussed to estimate the model parameters. In order to perform the applications, the importance and flexibility of the new model are also illustrated empirically by means of two real data sets. For simulation Stan and JAGS software were utilized in which we have built the GOGaU JAGS module

The generalized inverted exponential distribution is introduced as a lifetime model with good statistical properties. This paper, the estimation of the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of with five different estimation methods: uniformly minimum variance unbiased(UMVU), maximum likelihood(ML), least squares(LS), weighted least squares (WLS) and percentile(PC) estimators are considered. The performance of these estimation procedures, based on the mean squared error (MSE) by numerical simulations are compared. Simulation studies express that the UMVU estimator performs better than others and when the sample size is large enough the ML and UMVU estimators are almost equivalent and efficient than LS, WLS and PC.

In a linear regression model, the ordinary least squares (OLS) method is considered the best method to estimate the regression parameters if the assumptions are met. However, if the data does not satisfy the underlying assumptions, the results will be misleading. The violation for the assumption of constant variance in the least squares regression is caused by the presence of outliers and heteroscedasticity in the data. This assumption of constant variance (homoscedasticity) is very important in linear regression in which the least squares estimators enjoy the property of minimum variance. Therefor e robust regression method is required to handle the problem of outlier in the data. However, this research will use the weighted least square techniques to estimate the parameter of regression coefficients when the assumption of error variance is violated in the data. Estimation of WLS is the same as carrying out the OLS in a transformed variables procedure. The WLS can easily be affected by outliers. To remedy this, We have suggested a strong technique for the estimation of regression parameters in the existence of heteroscedasticity and outliers. Here we apply the robust regression of M-estimation using iterative reweighted least squares (IRWLS) of Huber and Tukey Bisquare function and resistance regression estimator of least trimmed squares to estimating the model parameters of state-wide crime of united states in 1993. The outcomes from the study indicate the estimators obtained from the M-estimation techniques and the least trimmed method are more effective compared with those obtained from the OLS.

In this study, a new flexible lifetime model called Burr XII moment exponential (BXII-ME) distribution is introduced. We derive some of its mathematical properties including the ordinary moments, conditional moments, reliability measures and characterizations. We employ different estimation methods such as the maximum likelihood, maximum product spacings, least squares, weighted least squares, Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling methods for estimating the model parameters. We perform simulation studies on the basis of the graphical results to see the performance of the above estimators of the BXII-ME distribution. We verify the potentiality of the BXII-ME model via monthly actual taxes revenue and fatigue life applications.

This paper proposed a new probability distribution, namely, the half-logistic xgamma (HLXG) distribution. Various statistical properties, such as, moments, incomplete moments, mean residual life, and stochastic ordering of the proposed distribution, are discussed. Parameter estimation of the half-logistic xgamma distribution is approached by the maximum likelihood method based on complete and censored samples. Asymptotic confidence intervals of model parameters are provided. A simulation study is conducted to illustrate the theoretical results. Moreover, the model parameters of the HLXG distribution are estimated by using the maximum likelihood, least square, maximum product spacing, percentile, and Cramer–von Mises (CVM) methods. Superiority of the new model over some existing distributions is illustrated through three real data sets.

In this paper, we study a new flexible three-parameter exponential distribution called the extended odd Weibull exponential distribution, which can have constant, decreasing, increasing, bathtub, upside-down bathtub and reversed-J shaped hazard rates, and right-skewed, left-skewed, symmetrical, and reversed-J shaped densities. Some mathematical properties of the proposed distribution are derived. The model parameters are estimated via eight frequentist estimation methods called, the maximum likelihood estimators, least squares and weighted least-squares estimators, maximum product of spacing estimators, Cramér-von Mises estimators, percentiles estimators, and Anderson-Darling and right-tail Anderson-Darling estimators. Extensive simulations are conducted to compare the performance of these estimation methods for small and large samples. Four practical data sets from the fields of medicine, engineering, and reliability are analyzed, proving the usefulness and flexibility of the proposed distribution.

In this paper, we studied the problem of estimating the odd exponentiated half-logistic exponential (OEHLE) parameters using several frequentist estimation methods. Parameter estimation provides a guideline for choosing the best method of estimation for the model parameters, which would be very important for reliability engineers and applied statisticians. We considered eight estimation methods, called maximum likelihood, maximum product of spacing, least squares, Cramér–von Mises, weighted least squares, percentiles, Anderson–Darling, and right-tail Anderson–Darling for estimating its parameters. The finite sample properties of the parameter estimates are discussed using Monte Carlo simulations. In order to obtain the ordering performance of these estimators, we considered the partial and overall ranks of different estimation methods for all parameter combinations. The results illustrate that all classical estimators perform very well and their performance ordering, based on overall ranks, from best to worst, is the maximum product of spacing, maximum likelihood, Anderson–Darling, percentiles, weighted least squares, least squares, right-tail Anderson–Darling, and Cramér–von-Mises estimators for all the studied cases. Finally, the practical importance of the OEHLE model was illustrated by analysing a real data set, proving that the OEHLE distribution can perform better than some well known existing extensions of the exponential distribution.

This paper proposes the new three-parameter type I half-logistic inverse Weibull (TIHLIW) distribution which generalizes the inverse Weibull model. The density function of the TIHLIW can be expressed as a linear combination of the inverse Weibull densities. Some mathematical quantities of the proposed TIHLIW model are derived. Four estimation methods, namely, the maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, and Cramér–von Mises methods, are utilized to estimate the TIHLIW parameters. Simulation results are presented to assess the performance of the proposed estimation methods. The importance of the TIHLIW model is studied via a real data application.
