Distributions with bounded support show considerable sparsity over those with unbounded support, despite the fact that there are a number of real-world contexts where observations take values from a bounded range (proportions, percentages, and fractions are typical examples). For proportion modeling, a flexible family of two-parameter distribution functions associated with the exponential distribution is proposed here. The mathematical and statistical properties of the novel distribution are examined, including the quantiles, mode, moments, hazard rate function, and its characterization. The parameter estimation procedure using the maximum likelihood method is carried out, and applications to environmental and engineering data are also considered. To this end, various statistical tests are used, along with some other information criterion indicators to determine how well the model fits the data. The proposed model is found to be the most efficient plan in most cases for the datasets considered.
With the aim of identifying a probability model that not only correctly describes the stochastic behavior of extreme environmental factors such as excess rain, acid rain pH level, and concentrations of ozone, but also measures concentrations of NO and leads deliberations, etc., for a specific site or multiple site forms as well as for life testing experiments, we introduced a novel class of distributions known as the Sine Burr family. Some exceptional prototypes of this class are proposed. Statistical assets of the presented class, such as density function, complete and incomplete moments, average deviation, and Lorenz and Bonferroni graphs, are proposed. Parameter estimation is made via the likelihood method. Moreover, the application is explained by using four real data sets. We have also illustrated the significance and elasticity of the proposed class in the above-mentioned stochastic phenomenon.
In the vast statistical literature, there are numerous probability distribution models that can model data from real-world phenomena. New probability models, nevertheless, are still required in order to represent data with various spread behaviors. It is a known fact that there is a great need for new models with limited support. In this study, a flexible probability model called the unit Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, which can model data values in the unit interval, is derived by selecting the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution as a base-line model. The important characteristics of the derived distribution in terms of statistics and mathematics are investigated in detail in this study. Furthermore, the inference problem for the mentioned distribution is addressed from the perspectives of maximum likelihood, method of moments, least squares, and maximum product space, and different estimators are obtained for the unknown parameter of the distribution. The derived distribution outperforms competitive models according to different fit tests and information criteria in the applications performed on four actual air pollutant concentration data sets, indicating that it is an effective model for modeling air pollutant concentration data.
In this article, we introduce a notable bounded distribution based on a modification of the epsilon function that creates an upper bound on the domain of a distribution. Further, a key feature of the distribution is to have asymptotic connections with the famous Lindley distribution, which is a weighted variant of the exponential distribution and also a mixture of exponential and gamma distributions. In some ways, the proposed distribution provides a flexible solution to the modeling of bounded characteristics that can be almost well-fitted by the Lindley distribution if the domain is restricted. Moreover, we have also explored its application, particularly with reference to lifetime and environmental points of view, and found that the proposed model exhibits a better fit among the competing models. Namely, we demonstrate the practical applicability of the new distribution on two data sets containing lifetime data, as well as on two other data sets of rainfall data. Further, from the annual rainfall analysis, the proposed model exhibits a realistic return period of the rainfall.

The analysis and modeling of zero truncated count data is of primary interest in many elds such as engineering, public health, sociology, psychology, epidemiology. Therefore, in this article we have proposed a new and simple structure model, named a zero truncated discrete Lindley distribution. Thedistribution contains some submodels and represents a two-component mixture of a zero truncated geometric distribution and a zero truncated negative binomial distribution with certain parameters. Several properties of the distribution are obtained such as mean residual life function, probability generating function, factorial moments, negative moments, moments of residual life function, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, estimation of parameters, Shannon and Renyi entropies, order statistics with the asymptotic distribution of their extremes and range, a characterization, stochastic ordering and stress-strength parameter. Moreover, the collective risk model is discussed by considering theproposed distribution as primary distribution and exponential and Erlang distributions as secondary ones. Test and evaluation statistics as well as three real data applications are considered to assess the peformance of the distribution among the most frequently zero truncated discrete probability models.
