In this article, we extensively study a family of distributions using the trigonometric function. We add an extra parameter to the sine transformation family and name it the alpha-sine-G family of distributions. Some important functional forms and properties of the family are provided in a general form. A specific sub-model alpha-sine Weibull of this family is also introduced using the Weibull distribution as a parent distribution and studied deeply. The statistical properties of this new distribution are investigated and intended parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood, maximum product of spacings, least square, weighted least square, and minimum distance methods. For further justification of these estimates, a simulation experiment is carried out. Two real data sets are analyzed to show the suggested model’s application. The suggested model performed well compares to some existing models considered in the study.

In this article, we introduce and study the truncated inverse power Lindley distribution. The aim is to transpose the remarkable flexibility of the two-parameter inverse power Lindley distribution to the interval [0,1]. The corresponding probability density function has the potential to be unimodal, decreasing, right-skewed, and heavy-tailed. On the other hand, the hazard rate function can be increasing, N-shaped, or U-shaped. These shapes’ versatility enables accurate representation and analysis of proportional or percentage data across a wide range of applications, such as survival analysis, reliability, and uncertainty modeling. Several statistical features, such as the mode, quantiles, Bowley’s skewness, Moor’s kurtosis, MacGillivray’s skewness, moments, inverse moments, incomplete moments, and probability-weighted moments, are computed. In practice, for the estimation of the model parameters from truncated data under the progressively type-II censoring scheme, the maximum likelihood, maximum product spacing, and Bayesian approaches are used. The Tierney–Kadane approximation and Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques are employed to produce the Bayesian estimates under the squared error loss function. We present some simulation results to evaluate these approaches. Four applications based on real-world datasets—one of them is on times of infection, the second is on failure times, and the other two are on the rate of inflation in Asia and Africa—explain the significance of the new truncated model in comparison to some reputed comparable models, such as the inverse power Lindley, Kumaraswamy, truncated power Lomax, beta, truncated Weibull, unit-Weibull, Kumaraswamy Kumaraswamy, and exponentiated Kumaraswamy models.

In this article, our main aim is to suggest enhanced families of estimators for estimating the population distribution function (DF) using twofold auxiliary evidence within the framework of simple random sampling. Numerical analysis is performed on four different actual data sets. The precision of the estimators is further investigated exhausting a simulation study. As equated with existing estimators, the suggested families of estimators have minimum mean square error (MSE) and higher percentage relative efficiency (PRE). The succeeding recommended family of estimators outperforms the first family of estimators across all data sets. These are positive indicators of its performance. The theoretical result shows that the recommended family of estimators performs better than the existing estimators. The extent of improvement in efficiency is noteworthy, indicating the superiority of the suggested estimators in terms of minimum MSE.

It is well known that ranked set sampling (RSS) is more efficient than simple random sampling (SRS). Furthermore, the presence of missing data vitiates the conventional results. Only a minuscule amount of work has been conducted under RSS with missing data. This paper makes a modest attempt to provide some efficient difference- and ratio-type imputation methods in the presence of missing values under RSS. The envisaged imputation methods are demonstrated to provide better results than the existing imputation methods. The theoretical results are enhanced by a computational analysis using real and hypothetically generated symmetric (Normal) and asymmetric (Gamma and Weibull) populations. The computational results show that the proposed imputation method outperforms the existing imputation methods in terms of its higher percent relative efficiency. Additionally, the impact of skewness and kurtosis on the efficiency of the suggested imputation methods has also been calculated.

We aim in this paper to propose a novel class of distributions that was created by merging the Topp-Leone distribution and the Generated families of Kumaraswamy and Marshall-Olkin. Its cumulative distribution function characterizes it and includes rational and polynomial functions. In particular, the following desirable properties of the new family are presented: Shannon entropy, order statistics, the quantile power series, and several associated measures and functions. Then, using a specific family member identified before, we create a parametric statistical model with the basic distribution being the inverse exponential distribution. Finally, a thorough investigation has been made to implement this new distribution with three data sets: the glass fibers data set, the glass Alumina data set and the hailing times data set. In comparison to six prominent competitors, the new model performs favorably on all statistical tests and criteria that were examined.

This work uses the inverse-power transformation to create the inverse power Ramos–Louzada distribution (IPRLD), a novel two-parameter version of the Ramos–Louzada distribution. The failure rate of the new distribution can be represented by a reverse bathtub shape, a rising shape, or a decreasing shape, making it appropriate for a range of real data. Asymmetrical and unimodal densities can be produced via the IPRLD. Its mathematical characteristics are computed in some cases. The novel proposed model’s structural characteristics are derived. To estimate the model parameters, several estimating strategies are explored, including ten classical methods. Simulation results with their partial and total ranks are used to evaluate the ranking and behavior of various approaches. Finally, two real-world datasets are used to experimentally show the suggested distribution’s adaptability. The analysis of the data reveals that the introduced distribution offers a better fit than some significant rival distributions, including the inverse Ramos–Louzada, inverse power Burr Hatke, inverse Nakagami-M, inverse log-logistic, inverse weighted Lindley, inverse Lindley, and Ramos–Louzada.
