This paper aims to find a statistical model for the COVID-19 spread in the United Kingdom and Canada. We used an efficient and superior model for fitting the COVID 19 mortality rates in these countries by specifying an optimal statistical model. A new lifetime distribution with two-parameter is introduced by a combination of inverted Topp-Leone distribution and modified Kies family to produce the modified Kies inverted Topp-Leone (MKITL) distribution, which covers a lot of application that both the traditional inverted Topp-Leone and the modified Kies provide poor fitting for them. This new distribution has many valuable properties as simple linear representation, hazard rate function, and moment function. We made several methods of estimations as maximum likelihood estimation, least squares estimators, weighted least-squares estimators, maximum product spacing, Cramr-von Mises estimators, and Anderson-Darling estimators methods are applied to estimate the unknown parameters of MKITL distribution. A numerical result of the Monte Carlo simulation is obtained to assess the use of estimation methods. also, we applied different data sets to the new distribution to assess its performance in modeling data.
This article presents and investigates a modified version of the Weibull distribution that incorporates four parameters and can effectively represent a hazard rate function with a shape resembling a bathtub. Its significance in the fields of lifetime and reliability stems from its ability to model both increasing and decreasing failure rates. The proposed distribution encompasses several well-known models such as the Weibull, extreme value, exponentiated Weibull, generalized Rayleigh, and modified Weibull distributions. The paper derives key mathematical statistics of the proposed distribution, including the quantile function, moments, moment-generating function, and order statistics density. Various mathematical properties of the proposed model are established, and the unknown parameters of the distribution are estimated using different estimation techniques. Furthermore, the effectiveness of these estimators is assessed through numerical simulation studies. Finally, the paper applies the new model and compares it with various existing distributions by analyzing two real-life time data sets.
This paper presents a novel probability distribution, namely the XLindley distribution, derived from a unique combination of exponential and gamma distributions through a special mixture formulation. The study extensively investigates the mathematical properties of the proposed distribution, including but not limited to the moment generation function, moments of different orders, mode identification, and the quantile function. Furthermore, the research employs a Monte Carlo simulation to assess and compare the performance of various estimators in estimating the unknown parameter of the XLindley distribution. These estimators are carefully evaluated and analyzed in terms of their efficiency and accuracy, providing valuable insights into the practical application of the new distribution in statistical modeling and data analysis contexts. The voltage and failure time data in the field of engineering are used to model the proposed distribution. The new model is compared with many current distributions such as Xlindley, gamma, Weibull, exponential, Lindley, Shanker, Akash, Zeghdoudi, Chris-Jerry, and Xgamma. Among all models, it is concluded that the new one-parameter distribution performed the best in modeling based on criteria such as the Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and others. The real data results show that the proposed distribution exhibits greater flexibility and improved goodness of fit compared to alternative distributions. The new XLindley distribution could be useful in modeling real-life data and may warrant further exploration in future research. Overall, this study contributes to the field of probability distributions and provides new insights for statistical modeling.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new family of distributions based on an inverse trigonometric function known as the arctangent function. In the context of actuarial science, heavy‐tailed probability distributions are immensely beneficial and play an important role in modelling data sets. Actuaries are committed to finding for such distributions in order to get an excellent fit to complex economic and actuarial data sets. The current research takes a look at a popular method for generating new distributions which are excellent candidates for dealing with heavy‐tailed data. The proposed family of distributions is known as the Arctan‐X family of distributions and is introduced using an inverse trigonometric function. For the specific purpose of the show of strength, we studied the Arctan‐Weibull distribution as a special case of the developed family. To estimate the parameters of the Arctan‐Weibull distribution, the frequentist approach, i.e., maximum likelihood estimation, is used. A rigorous Monte Carlo simulation analysis is used to determine the efficiency of the obtained estimators. The Arctan‐Weibull model is demonstrated using a real‐world insurance data set. The Arctan‐Weibull is compared to well‐known two‐, three‐, and four‐parameter competitors. Among the competing distributions are Weibull, Kappa, Burr‐XII, and beta‐Weibull. For model comparison, we used the most precise tests used to know whether the Arctan‐Weibull distribution is more useful than competing models.
We introduce here a new distribution called the power-modified Kies-exponential (PMKE) distribution and derive some of its mathematical properties. Its hazard function can be bathtub-shaped, increasing, or decreasing. Its parameters are estimated by seven classical methods. Further, Bayesian estimation, under square error, general entropy, and Linex loss functions are adopted to estimate the parameters. Simulation results are provided to investigate the behavior of these estimators. The estimation methods are sorted, based on partial and overall ranks, to determine the best estimation approach for the model parameters. The proposed distribution can be used to model a real-life turbocharger dataset, as compared with 24 extensions of the exponential distribution.
The power XLindley (PXL) distribution is introduced in this study. It is a two-parameter distribution that extends the XLindley distribution established in this paper. Numerous statistical characteristics of the suggested model were determined analytically. The proposed model’s fuzzy dependability was statistically assessed. Numerous estimation techniques have been devised for the purpose of estimating the proposed model parameters. The behaviour of these factors was examined using randomly generated data and developed estimation approaches. The suggested model seems to be superior to its base model and other well-known and related models when applied to the COVID-19 data set.
