On Bivariate Exponentiated Extended Weibull Family of Distributions
In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate distributions called the
bivariate exponentiated extended Weibull distributions. The model introduced
here is of Marshall-Olkin type. This new class of bivariate distributions
contains several bivariate lifetime models. Some mathematical properties of the
new class of distributions are studied. We provide the joint and conditional
density functions, the joint cumulative distribution function and the joint
survival function. Special bivariate distributions are investigated in some
detail. The maximum likelihood estimators are obtained using the EM algorithm.
We illustrate the usefulness of the new class by means of application to two
real data sets.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1501.03528 by other author
Marshall Olkin exponential Gompertz distribution: Properties and applications
Generalizing distribution is an important area in probability theory. Many distributions are not suitable for modeling data, that are either symmetric or heavily skewed. In this paper, a new compound distribution termed as Marshall Olkin Exponential Gompertz (MOEGo) is introduced. Several essential statistical properties of MOEGo distribution were studied and investigated. The estimation of distribution parameters was performed using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Two real data (symmetric and right-skewed) were adopted to illustrate the flexibility of MOEGo distribution. This flexibility enables the use of MOEGo distribution in various application areas
