A Four-Parameter Extension of Burr III Distribution with Applications

Abstract In this paper, we defined and studied a new distribution called the odd exponentiated half-logistic Burr III distribution. Properties such as the linear representation of the probability density function (PDF) of the distribution, quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, moment generating function and distribution of the order statistic were derived. The PDF and hazard rate function were found to be capable of having various shapes, making the new distribution highly flexible. In particular, the hazard rate function can be nonincreasing, unimodal and nondecreasing. It can also have the bathtub shape among other non- monotone shapes. The maximum likelihood procedure was used to estimate the parameters of the new model. We gave two numerical examples to illustrate the usefulness and the ability of the distribution to provide better fits to a number of data sets than several distributions in existence.

Kami menurunkan beberapa sifat dari distribusi tersebut yaitu representasi linier dari fungsi kepadatan peluang (FKP), fungsi kuantil, momen biasa dan momen tidak lengkap, fungsi pembangkit momen dan distribusi statistik terurut. Fungsi FKP dan fungsi tingkat hazard diperoleh memiliki bermacam-macam bentuk, membuat distribusi baru ini sangat fleksibel. Secara khusus, fungsi tingkat hazard dapat berupa fungsi taknaik, bermodus tunggal, bisa juga tidak turun. Selain itu, fungsi ini juga dapat berbentuk seperti bak mandi di antara bentuk-bentuk tak monoton lainnya. Prosedur kemungkinan maksimum digunakan untuk mengestimasi parameter model yang baru. Kami memberikan dua contoh numerik untuk mengilustrasikan kegunaan dan kemampuan distribusi untuk menghasilkan kesesuaian yang lebih baik pada sejumlah kumpulan data dibandingkan beberapa distribusi yang ada. Kata kunci: distribusi Burr III; prosedur kemungkinan maksimum; momen; keluarga setengah logistik-G teresponen ganjil; statistic terurut

Marshall-Olkin generalized Erlang-truncated exponential distribution: Properties and applications

This article introduces the Marshall–Olkin generalized Erlang-truncated exponential (MOGETE) distribution as a generalization of the Erlang-truncated exponential (ETE) distribution. The hazard rate of the new distribution could be increasing, decreasing or constant. Explicit-closed form mathematical expressions of some of the statistical and reliability properties of the new distribution were given and the method of maximum likelihood estimation was used to estimate the model parameters. The usefulness and flexibility of the new distribution was illustrated with two real and uncensored lifetime data-sets. The MOGETE distribution with a smaller goodness of fit statistics always emerged as a better candidate for the data-sets than the ETE, Exp Fréchet and Exp Burr XII distributions

The Kumaraswamy G Exponentiated Gumbel type-2 distribution

The distribution due to Okorie et al. (2016) is further extended to a wider family of distribution called the Kumaraswamy Generalized Exponentiated Gumbel type-2 distribution. Twenty two distributions are identified as sub-models of the new distribution. Some of its important statistical properties are explicitly derived and the parameters of the new distribution are estimated through the method of maximum likelihood estimation.Keywords: Gumbel type-2; Kumaraswamy; Weibull; Fréchet; Inverse exponential and Rayleigh distributio
