Abstract

On the basis of the half-Cauchy distribution, we propose the called beta-half-Cauchy distribution for modeling lifetime data. Various explicit expressions for its moments, generating and quantile functions, mean deviations, and density function of the order statistics and their moments are provided. The parameters of the new model are estimated by maximum likelihood, and the observed information matrix is derived. An application to lifetime real data shows that it can yield a better fit than three- and two-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders, gamma, and Weibull models.

Parametric Estimation for the Birnbaum-saunders Lifetime Distribution Based on a New Parametrization
Kamon Budsaba, Andrei Volodin

In this article, we consider a new parametrization of the two-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders lifetime distribution. Importantly, this re-parametrization fits the physics of studying phenomena since the proposed parameters characterize or specify the thickness of the sample and the nominal treatment loading on the sample, respectively. The usual shape and scale parameters of the distribution do not offer this physical interpretation. Instead of substitution method of the parameter estimators of the original Birnbaum-Saunders model into the new model, the statistical properties of the direct application of the standard methods of point estimation to the new parameters are investigated. In an effort to appraise the performance of proposed estimators in a practical setting, Monte-Carlo simulations are conducted for small, moderate and large sample sizes. Two real life examples based on published data are used to illustrate the suggested estimation methods. Some concluding remarks and areas for further research are also presented. ______________________________ Keywords: Birnbaum-Saunders distribution, maximum likelihood estimate, method of moments estimate, Monte-Carlo simulations, point estimation, regression quartile (least squares) estimate.

On Modeling of Lifetime Data Using Aradhana, Sujatha, Lindley and Exponential Distributions
Rama Shanker

Biometrics & Biostatistics International Journal

Shanker [2,3] has introduced one parameter continuous distributions named, "Aradhana distribution" and "Sujatha distribution"for modeling lifetime data from engineering and medical science and studied its various mathematical properties, estimation of its parameter, and its applications. A number of continuous distributions for modeling lifetime data have been introduced in statistical literature including exponential, Lindley, gamma, lognormal and Weibull, amongst others. The exponential, Lindley and the Weibull distributions are more popular in practice than the gamma and the lognormal distributions because the survival functions of the gamma and the lognormal distributions cannot be expressed in closed forms and both require numerical integration. Though Aradhana, Sujatha, Lindley and exponential distributions are of one parameter, Aradhana, Sujatha and Lindley distributions have advantage over the exponential distribution that the exponential distribution has constant hazard rate and mean residual life function whereas the Aradhana, Sujatha, and Lindley distributions have increasing hazard rate and decreasing mean residual life function. Further, Aradhana and Sujatha distributions of Shanker [2,3] have flexibility over both Lindley and exponential distributions. Aradhana, Sujatha, Lindley and Exponential Distributions Shanker [2] introduced a new one parameter continuous distribution named, ' Aradhana distribution' for modeling lifetime data from engineering and medical science. This distribution is a three-component mixture of an exponential () θ distribution, a gamma () 2,θ distribution and a gamma () 3,θ distribution with fit than Akash, Shanker, Lindley and exponential distributions in modeling lifetime data. Shanker [2] has discussed its various mathematical and statistical properties including its shape, moment generating function, moments, skewness, kurtosis, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic orderings, mean deviations, distribution of order statistics, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, Renyi entropy measure, stress-strength reliability, amongst others. Shanker [4] has also obtained a Poisson mixture Volume 4 Issue 1-2016

Weibull Quasi Lindley Distribution and its Statistical Properties with Applications to Lifetime Data
Saeed Hemeda

Saeed Hemeda, El Batel

In this article, a new four-parameter lifetime model named the Weibull quasi Lindley distribution based on the Weibull G-family is introduced. It is more flexible than several recently introduced lifetime distributions. Various structural properties of the new distribution are derived including moments, moment generating function, quantile function, reliability, hazard rate function and mean residual life. Expressions for the R´enyi, q-entropies and density function of order statistics are also obtained. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and the observed information matrix is determined. Two real data sets are presented to illustrate the advantage of the new distribution. In fact, the new model provides a better fit to this data than some of the most important distributions.

A generalized modified Weibull distribution for lifetime modeling
Gauss Cordeiro

Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2008

A four parameter generalization of the Weibull distribution capable of modeling a bathtubshaped hazard rate function is defined and studied. The beauty and importance of this distribution lies in its ability to model monotone as well as non-monotone failure rates, which are quite common in lifetime problems and reliability. The new distribution has a number of well-known lifetime special sub-models, such as the Weibull, extreme value, exponentiated Weibull, generalized Rayleigh and modified Weibull distributions, among others. We derive two infinite sum representations for its moments. The density of the order statistics is obtained. The method of maximum likelihood is used for estimating the model parameters. Also, the observed information matrix is obtained. Two applications are presented to illustrate the proposed distribution.

A new family of compound exponentiated logarithmic distributions with applications to lifetime data
Nooshin Hakamipour, Yuanyuan Zhang

Mathematica Slovaca

The logarithmic distribution and a given lifetime distribution are compounded to construct a new family of lifetime distributions. The compounding is performed with respect to maxima. Expressions are derived for lifetime properties like moments and the behavior of extreme values. Estimation procedures for the method of maximum likelihood are also derived and their performance assessed by a simulation study. Three real data (including two lifetime data) applications are described that show superior performance (assessed with respect to Kolmogorov Smirnov statistics, likelihood values, AIC values, BIC values, probability-probability plots and density plots) versus at least five known lifetime models, with each model having the same number of parameters as the model it is compared to.

A New Compound Lifetime Distribution: Model, Characterization, Estimation and Application
ADIL RASHID

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Informatics

There are diverse lifetime models available to the researchers to predict the uncertain behavior of random events but at times they fail to provide adequate fit for some complex and new data sets. New probability distributions are emerging as lifetime models to meet this ever growing demand of modeling complex real world phenomena from different sciences with better efficiency. Here, in this manuscript we shall compose Ailamujia distribution with that of power series distribution. This newly developed distribution called Ailamujia power series distribution reduces to four new special lifetime models on simple specific function parametric setting. Apart from this some important mathematical properties in the form of propositions will also be discussed. Furthermore, characterization and some statistical properties that include mgf, moments, and parameter estimation have also been discussed. Finally, the potency of newly proposed model has been analyzed statistically and graphically an...

The Half-Logistic Lomax Distribution for Lifetime Modeling
Dr. Masood Anwar

Journal of Probability and Statistics

We introduce a new two-parameter lifetime distribution called the half-logistic Lomax (HLL) distribution. The proposed distribution is obtained by compounding half-logistic and Lomax distributions. We derive some mathematical properties of the proposed distribution such as the survival and hazard rate function, quantile function, mode, median, moments and moment generating functions, mean deviations from mean and median, mean residual life function, order statistics, and entropies. The estimation of parameters is performed by maximum likelihood and the formulas for the elements of the Fisher information matrix are provided. A simulation study is run to assess the performance of maximum-likelihood estimators (MLEs). The flexibility and potentiality of the proposed model are illustrated by means of real and simulated data sets.

The beta Burr XII distribution with application to lifetime data
Gauss Cordeiro

Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2011

For the first time, a five-parameter distribution, so-called the beta Burr XII distribution, is defined and investigated. The new distribution contains as special sub-models some well-known distributions discussed in the literature, such as the logistic, Weibull and Burr XII distributions, among several others. We derive its moment generating function. As a special case, we obtain the moment generating function of the Burr XII distribution, which seems to be a new result. Moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and reliability are provided. We derive two representations for the moments of the order statistics. The method of maximum likelihood is proposed for estimating the model parameters. We obtain the observed information matrix. An application to a real data set demonstrates that the new distribution can provide a better fit than other classical models. We hope that this generalization may attract wider applications in reliability, biology and lifetime data analysis.

In this paper, we introduce a new lifetime distribution. Characteristics and statistical properties are obtained, such as stress strength reliability, moments, entropy, and order statistics. Moreover, the estimation of the parameter of the proposed distribution for the complete sample are discussed using different estimation methods like percentiles, least squares estimation, weighted least squares estimation, maximum likelihood estimation, and Cramer-von-mises estimations and compared them using Monte Carlo simulation study. The model parameter is obtained under hybrid censoring based on the censored sample. The actuarial measures are calculated for our model and the result is compared with the risk of the exponential distribution. Finally, an application of two real data sets is used to illustrate the proposed model.

    T-Dagum: A Way of Generalizing Dagum Distribution Using Lomax Quantile Function
    Muminu Adamu

    Journal of Probability and Statistics

    Recently, different distributions have been generalized using the T-R {Y} framework but the possibility of using Dagum distribution has not been assessed. The T-R {Y} combines three distributions, with one as a baseline distribution, with the strength of each distribution combined to produce greater effect on the new generated distribution. The new generated distributions would have more parameters but would have high flexibility in handling bimodality in datasets and it is a weighted hazard function of the baseline distribution. This paper therefore generalized the Dagum distribution using the quantile function of Lomax distribution. A member of T-Dagum class of distribution called exponentiated-exponential-Dagum {Lomax} (EEDL) distribution was proposed. The distribution will be useful in survival analysis and reliability studies. Different characterizations of the distribution are derived, such as the asymptotes, stochastic ordering, stress-strength analysis, moment, Shannon entro...

    Parameter induction in continuous univariate distributions: Well-established G families
    Muhammad Tahir

    Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências

    The art of parameter(s) induction to the baseline distribution has received a great deal of attention in recent years. The induction of one or more additional shape parameter(s) to the baseline distribution makes the distribution more flexible especially for studying the tail properties. This parameter(s) induction also proved helpful in improving the goodness-of-fit of the proposed generalized family of distributions. There exist many generalized (or generated) G families of continuous univariate distributions since 1985. In this paper, the well-established and widely-accepted G families of distributions like the exponentiated family, Marshall-Olkin extended family, beta-generated family, McDonald-generalized family, Kumaraswamy-generalized family and exponentiated generalized family are discussed. We provide lists of contributed literature on these well-established G families of distributions. Some extended forms of the Marshall-Olkin extended family and Kumaraswamy-generalized fa...

    The power-Cauchy negative-binomial: properties and regression
    Gauss Cordeiro

    Journal of Statistical Distributions and Applications

    We propose and study a new compounded model to extend the half-Cauchy and power-Cauchy distributions, which offers more flexibility in modeling lifetime data. The proposed model is analytically tractable and can be used effectively to analyze censored and uncensored data sets. Its density function can have various shapes such as reversed-J and right-skewed. It can accommodate different hazard shapes such as decreasing, upside-down bathtub and decreasing-increasing-decreasing. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution can be determined from a linear combination for its density function such as ordinary and incomplete moments. The performance of the maximum likelihood method to estimate the model parameters is investigated by a simulation study. Further, we introduce the new log-power-Cauchy negative-binomial regression model for censored data, which includes as sub-models some widely known regression models that can be applied to censored data. Four real life data sets, of which one is censored, have been analyzed and the new models provide adequate fits.

    Statistics, 2016

    In this paper, a new five-parameter lifetime distribution called beta generalized linear exponential distribution (BGLED) is introduced. It includes at least 17 popular sub-models as special cases such as the beta linear exponential, the beta generalized exponential, and the exponentiated generalized linear distributions. Mathematical and statistical properties of the proposed distribution are discussed in details. In particular, explicit expression for the density function, moments, asymptotics distributions for sample extreme statistics, and other statistical measures are obtained. The estimation of the parameters by the method of maximum-likelihood is discussed and the finite sample properties of the maximum-likelihood estimators (MLEs) are investigated numerically. A real data set is used to demonstrate its superior performance fit over several existing popular lifetime models.
