Abstract:

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 entropy and order statistic are provided. To estimate the model parameters, the method of maximum likelihood and Bayse estimations are proposed. Two data sets are used to illustrate the applicability of the Lomax-exponential distribution.

The Exponentiated Lomax – Rayleigh (E-LR) Distribution, Properties and Applications

In this paper a new four-parameter lifetime distribution named “the exponentiated Lomax – Rayleigh (E-LR) distribution” has been suggested that it has an increasing hazard rate for modeling lifetime data. The Lomax distribution has applications in economics, actuarial modelling, reliability modeling, lifetime and queuing problems and biological sciences. In this paper Firstly, the mathematical ...

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...

Some statistical inferences on the upper record of Lomax distribution

In this paper, we investigate some inferential properties of the upper record Lomax distribution. Also, we will estimate the upper record of the Lomax distribution parameters using methods, Moment (MME), Maximum Likelihood (MLE), Kullback-Leibler Divergence of the Survival function (DLS) and Baysian. Finally, we will compare these methods using the Monte Carlo simulation.

Transmuted Lomax Distribution

Abstract A generalization of the Lomax distribution so-called the transmuted Lomax distribution is proposed and studied. Various structural properties including explicit expressions for the moments, quantiles, and mean deviations of the new distribution are derived. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood method. We hope that the new distribution proposed here ...
