In this paper, we propose a new distribution, named unit log–log distribution, defined on the bounded (0,1) interval. Basic distributional properties such as model shapes, stochastic ordering, quantile function, moments, and order statistics of the newly defined unit distribution are studied. The maximum likelihood estimation method has been pointed out to estimate its model parameters. The new quantile regression model based on the proposed distribution is introduced and it has been derived estimations of its model parameters also. The Monte Carlo simulation studies have been given to see the performance of the estimation method based on the new unit distribution and its regression modeling. Applications of the newly defined distribution and its quantile regression model to real data sets show that the proposed models have better modeling abilities than competitive models. The proposed unit quantile regression model has targeted to explain linear relation between educational measurements of both OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries and some non-members of OECD countries, and their Better Life Index. The existence of the significant covariates has been seen on the real data applications for the unit median response.
In this paper, a new distribution defined on (0, 1) is introduced. It is obtained by the transformation of a positive random variable following the Chen distribution with respect to the inverted exponential function. Basic distributional properties of the newly defined distribution are studied. Then, as a statistical model, we examine different methods of estimation for related parameters. We assess the performance of the obtained estimators by a complete simulation study. Subsequently, the quantile regression model based on the proposed distribution is introduced. Applications of the proposed models to real data sets show that they have better modeling capabilities than fair competitors.
This paper proposes a new heavy-tailed and alternative slash type distribution on a bounded interval via a relation of a slash random variable with respect to the standard logistic function to model the real data set with skewed and high kurtosis which includes the outlier observation. Some basic statistical properties of the newly defined distribution are studied. We derive the maximum likelihood, least-square, and weighted least-square estimations of its parameters. We assess the performance of the estimators of these estimation methods by the simulation study. Moreover, an application to real data demonstrates that the proposed distribution can provide a better fit than well-known bounded distributions in the literature when the skewed data set with high kurtosis contains the outlier observations.

This paper proposes a new probability distribution, which belongs a member of the exponential family, defined on (0,1) unit interval. The new unit model has been defined by relation of a random variable defined on unbounded interval with respect to standard logistic function. Some basic statistical properties of newly defined distribution are derived and studied. The different estimation methods and some inferences for the model parameters have been derived. We assess the performance of the estimators of these estimation methods based on the three different simulation scenarios. The analysis of three real data examples which one is related to the coronavirus data, show better fit of proposed distribution than many known distributions on the unit interval under some comparing criteria.
This work proposes a new distribution defined on the unit interval. It is obtained by a novel transformation of a normal random variable involving the hyperbolic secant function and its inverse. The use of such a function in distribution theory has not received much attention in the literature, and may be of interest for theoretical and practical purposes. Basic statistical properties of the newly defined distribution are derived, including moments, skewness, kurtosis and order statistics. For the related model, the parametric estimation is examined through different methods. We assess the performance of the obtained estimates by two complementary simulation studies. Also, the quantile regression model based on the proposed distribution is introduced. Applications to three real datasets show that the proposed models are quite competitive in comparison to well-established models.
