Abstract:

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) distribution, Beta Modified Weibull Logarithmic (BMWL) distribution, among others. We obtain closed-form expressions for the cumulative distribution, density, survival function, failure rate function, the r-th raw moment and the moments of order statistics. A full likelihood-based approach that allows yielding maximum likelihood estimates of the BMWPS  arameters is used. Finally, application to the Aarset data are given.

Introducing a New Lifetime Distribution of Power Series Distribution of the Family Gampertz

In this Paper, We propose a new three-parameter lifetime of Power Series distributions of the Family Gampertz with decreasing, increasing, increasing-decreasing and unimodal Shape failure rate. The distribution is a Compound version of of the Gampertz and Zero-truncated Possion distributions, called the Gampertz-Possion distribution (GPD). The density function, the hazard rate function, a gener...

A new modified Weibull distribution

We introduce a new lifetime distribution by considering a serial system with one component following a Weibull distribution and another following a modified Weibull distribution. We study its mathematical properties including moments and order statistics. The estimation of parameters by maximum likelihood is discussed. We demonstrate that the proposed distribution fits two well-known data sets ...

Characterizations of New Modified Weibull Distribution

Several characterizations of a New Modified Weibull distribution, introduced by Doostmoradi et al. (2014), are presented. These characterizations are based on: (i) truncated moment of a function of the random variable (ii) the hazard function (iii) a single function of the random variable (iv) truncated moment of certain function of the 1st order statistic.

A 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...

Modified New Flexible Weibull Distribution

The present paper is devoted to introduce a four-parameter modification of new flexible Weibull distribution. The proposed model will be called modified new flexible Weibull distribution, able to model lifetime phenomena with increasing or bathtub-shaped failure rates. Some of its mathematical properties will be studied. The approach of maximum likelihood will be used for estimating the model p...

A modified Weibull distribution

A new lifetime distribution capable of modeling a bathtub-shaped hazard-rate function is proposed. The proposed model is derived as a limiting case of the Beta Integrated Model and has both the Weibull distribution and Type I extreme value distribution as special cases. The model can be considered as another useful 3-parameter generalization of the Weibull distribution. An advantage of the mode...
