Motivation to fit the Danish reinsurance claim and aircraft windshield data sets, we introduce exponentiated half logistic-power series (EHLPS) distributions, which are obtained by compounding exponentiated half-logistic distribution with power series distributions. Some mathematical properties have been studied. Maximum likelihood estimation of unknown parameters for the complete data is discussed via the EM algorithm. Simulation results to assess the performance of the estimation methods are discussed. Finally, two applied examples are given for indicating the flexibility and appropriateness of the distribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
