Asymmetric Uniform-Laplace Distribution‎: ‎Properties and Applications

Authors

Abstract:

‎The goal of this study is to introduce an Asymmetric Uniform-Laplace (AUL) distribution‎. ‎We present a detailed theoretical description of this distribution‎. ‎We try to estimate the parameters of AUL distribution using the maximum likelihood method‎. ‎Since the likelihood approach results in complicated forms‎, ‎we suggest a bootstrap-based approach for estimating the parameters‎. ‎The proposed method is mainly based on the shape of the empirical density‎. ‎We conduct a simulation study to assess the performance of the proposed procedure‎. ‎We also fit the AUL distribution to real data sets‎: ‎daily working time and Pontius data sets‎. ‎The results show that AUL distribution is a more appropriate choice than the Skew-Normal‎, ‎Skew t‎, ‎Asymmetric Laplace and Uniform-Normal distributions.

Asymmetric Univariate and Bivariate Laplace and Generalized Laplace Distributions

Alternative specifications of univariate asymmetric Laplace models are described and investigated. A more general mixture model is then introduced. Bivariate extensions of these models are discussed in some detail, with particular emphasis on associated parameter estimation strategies. Multivariate versions of the models are briefly introduced.

Exp-Uniform Distribution: Properties and Characterizations

In this paper, we study properties of exp-uniform distribution and its applications. We provide closed forms for the density function and moments of order statistics and we also discuss estimation of the parameters via the maximum likelihood method. We will present certain characterizations of exp-uniform distribution. The applications of this distribution are illustrated by fitting it to three...

Quantile regression for longitudinal data using the asymmetric Laplace distribution.

In longitudinal studies, measurements of the same individuals are taken repeatedly through time. Often, the primary goal is to characterize the change in response over time and the factors that influence change. Factors can affect not only the location but also more generally the shape of the distribution of the response over time. To make inference about the shape of a population distribution,...

The Beta-Weibull Logaritmic Distribution: Some Properties and Applications

In this paper, we introduce a new five-parameter distribution with increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped failure rate called the Beta-Weibull-Logarithmic (BWL) distribution. Using the Sterling Polynomials, various properties of the new distribution such as its probability density function, its reliability and failure rate functions, quantiles and moments, R$acute{e}$nyi and Shannon entropie...

A NEW FOUR-PARAMETER DISTRIBUTION: PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS

In this paper a new four-parameter lifetime distribution named “the Exponentiated gompertz-poisson (E-GP) distribution” has been suggested that it has a decreasing, increasing, bathtub-shaped and inverse bathtub-shape for modeling lifetime data. The Exponentiated gompertz-poisson has applications in economics, actuarial modelling,reliability modeling, lifetime and queuing problems and biologica...

The Lomax-Exponential Distribution, Some Properties and Applications

Abstract: The exponential distribution is a popular model in applications to real data. We propose a new extension of this distribution, called the Lomax-exponential distribution, which presents greater flexibility to the model. Also there is a simple relation between the Lomax-exponential distribution and the Lomax distribution. Results for moment, limit behavior, hazard function, Shannon entr...
