The Additive Weibull-Geometric Distribution: Theory and Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a new class of lifetime distributions which is called the additive Weibull geometric (AWG) distribution. This distribution obtained by compounding the additive Weibull and geometric distributions. The new distribution has a number of well-known lifetime special sub-models such as modified Weibull geometric, Weibull geometric, exponential geometric, among several others. Some structural properties of the proposed new distribution are discussed. We propose the method of maximum likelihood for estimating the model parameters and obtain the observed information matrix. A real data set is used to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the new distribution.

The new generalized inverse Weibull distribution
Failure rate is one of the important concepts in reliability theory. In this paper, we introduce a new distribution function containing four parameters based on inverse Weibull distribution. This new distribution has a more general form of failure rate function. It is able to model five ageing classes of life distributions with appropriate choice of parameter values so that it is displayed decr...

In this paper, we propose a new parametric distribution which called as the Beta Modified Weibull Power Series (BMWPS) distribution. This distribution is obtained by compounding Beta Modified Weibull (BMW) and power series distributions. BMWPS distribution contains, as special sub-models, such as Beta Modified Weibull Poisson (BMWP) distribution, Beta Modified Weibull Geometric (BMWG) distribut...

A generalization of the exponentiated Weibull geometric model called the transmuted exponentiated Weibull geometric distribution is proposed and studied. It includes as special cases at least ten models.

متن کاملA New Modified Weibull Distribution and Its Applications
In this paper we introduce a four-parameter generalized Weibull distribution. This new distribution has a more general form of failure rate function. It is more general for modeling than six ageing classes of life distributions with appropriate choices of parameter values, so it can display decreasing, increasing, bathtub shaped, unimodal, increasing-decreasing increasing and decreasing-increas...
متن کاملOn Burr III-Inverse Weibull Distribution with COVID-19 Applications
We introduce a flexible lifetime distribution called Burr III-Inverse Weibull (BIII-IW). The new proposed distribution has well-known sub-models. The BIII-IW density function includes exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shapes. The BIII-IW model’s failure rate can be monotone and non-monotone depending on the parameter values. To show the importance of the BIII-IW distributio...
