We proposed a new family of lifetime distributions, namely, complementary exponentiated exponential geometric distribution. This new family arises on a latent competing risk scenario, where the lifetime associated with a particular risk is not observable but only the maximum lifetime value among all risks. The properties of the proposed distribution are discussed, including a formal proof of it...

In this paper, the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method has been used to estimate the parameters of Exponentiated Gumbel(EG) model based on a complete sample. A procedure is developed to obtain Bayes estimates of the parameters of the Exponentiated Gumbel model using MCMC simulation method in OpenBUGS, an established software for Bayesian analysis using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method....

In this talk we review several applications of two Weibull extensions in statistical theory and applied research. The two extensions are the generalized Weibull and the exponentiated Weibull families, and the applications are in the areas of reliability and survival analysis, exteme value analysis, isotones and distributional approximations. 1 The Generalized Weibull Family The generalized Weib...

In recent years the processing of blind image separation has been investigated. As a result, a number of feature extraction algorithms for direct application of such image structures have been developed. For example, separation of mixed fingerprints found in any crime scene, in which a mixture of two or more fingerprints may be obtained, for identification, we have to separate them. In this pap...

In this paper we propose a novel four parameter continuous univariate distribution that can be motivated from at least two approached. The first one views the distribution as a generalization of the uniform one that allows for uncertainty specification at the vicinity of its bounds (gradually) represented via two Pareto tails. The second one is that of an asymmetric heavy-tailed, peaked distrib...

In this paper, we study the estimation problems for the two-parameter exponentiated Gumbel distribution based on lower record values. An exact confidence interval and an exact joint confidence region for the parameters are constructed. A simulation study is conducted to study the performance of the proposed confidence interval and region. Finally, a numerical example with real data set is gi...
