Abstract:

Statistical distributions are very useful in describing and predicting real world phenomena. Consequently, the choice of the most suitable statistical distribution for modeling given data is very important. In this paper, we propose a new class of lifetime distributions called the Weibull Topp-Leone Generated (WTLG) family. The proposed family is constructed via compounding the Weibull and the Topp-Leone distributions. It can provide better fits and is very flexible in comparison with the various known lifetime distributions. Several general statistical properties of the WTLG family are studied in details including density and hazard shapes, limit behavior, mixture representation, skewness and kurtosis, moments, moment generating function, incomplete moment. Different methods have been used to estimate its parameters. The performances of the estimators are numerically investigated. We have discussed inference on the new family based on the likelihood ratio statistics for testing some lifetime distributions. We assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators in terms of the biases and mean squared errors by means of a simulation study. The importance and flexibility of the new family are illustrated by means of two applications to real data sets.

The Weighted Exponentiated Family of Distributions: Properties, Applications and Characterizations

In this paper a new method of introducing an additional parameter to a continuous distribution is proposed, which leads to a new class of distributions, called the weighted exponentiated family. A special sub-model is discussed. General expressions for some of the mathematical properties of this class such as the moments, quantile function, generating function and order statistics are derived;...

The Exponentiated Gompertz Generated Family of Distributions: Properties and Applications

The proposal of more flexible distributions is an activity often required in practical contexts. In particular, adding a positive real parameter to a probability distribution by exponentiation of its cumulative distribution function has provided flexible generated distributions having interesting statistical properties. In this paper, we study general mathematical properties of a new generator ...
