The last years, the odd Fréchet-G family has been considered with success in various statistical applications. This notoriety can be explained by its simple and flexible exponential-odd structure quite different to the other existing families, with the use of only one additional parameter. In counter part, some of its statistical properties suffer of a lack of adaptivity in the sense that they really depend on the choice of the baseline distribution. Hence, efforts have been made to relax this subjectivity by investigating extensions or generalizations of the odd transformation at the heart of the construction of this family, with the aim to reach new perspectives of applications as well. This study explores another possibility, based on the transformation of the whole cumulative distribution function of this family (while keeping the odd transformation intact), through the use of the quadratic rank transmutation that has proven itself in other contexts. We thus introduce and study a new family of flexible distributions called the transmuted odd Fréchet-G family. We show how the former odd Fréchet-G family is enriched by the proposed transformation through theoretical and practical results. We emphasize the special distribution based on the standard exponential distribution because of its desirable features for the statistical modeling. In particular, different kinds of monotonic and nonmonotonic shapes for the probability density and hazard rate functions are observed. Then, we show how the new family can be used in practice. We discuss in detail the parametric estimation of a special model, along with a simulation study. Practical data sets are handle with quite favorable results for the new modeling strategy.

The inverse Rayleigh distribution finds applications in many lifetime studies, but has not enough overall flexibility to model lifetime phenomena where moderately right-skewed or near symmetrical data are observed. This paper proposes a solution by introducing a new two-parameter extension of this distribution through the use of the half-logistic transformation. The first contribution is theoretical: we provide a comprehensive account of its mathematical properties, specifically stochastic ordering results, a general linear representation for the exponentiated probability density function, raw/inverted moments, incomplete moments, skewness, kurtosis, and entropy measures. Evidences show that the related model can accommodate the treatment of lifetime data with different right-skewed features, so far beyond the possibility of the former inverse Rayleigh model. We illustrate this aspect by exploring the statistical inference of the new model. Five classical different methods for the estimation of the model parameters are employed, with a simulation study comparing the numerical behavior of the different estimates. The estimation of entropy measures is also discussed numerically. Finally, two practical data sets are used as application to attest of the usefulness of the new model, with favorable goodness-of-fit results in comparison to three recent extended inverse Rayleigh models.Entropy 2020, 22, 449 2 of 24 respectively, where α is a scale parameter. As notable features, the IR distribution has tractable and simple probability functions, is unimodal and right-skewed, and possesses a hazard rate function with a singular curvature: it increases at a certain value, then decreases until attain a kind of stabilization. The pioneer studies are [2] which presents some properties of the maximum likelihood estimator of α, and [3] which provides closed-form expressions for the (standard) mean, harmonic mean, geometric mean, mode and median of the IR distribution. Also, among the amount of works investigating the statistical aspects of the IR distribution, the reader can be referred to [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].In the recent years, several extensions of the IR distribution were developed, using different mathematical techniques, often at the basis of general families of distributions. Among them, there are the beta IR (BIR) distribution by [13], transmuted IR (TIR) distribution by [14], modified IR (MIR) distribution by [15], transmuted modified IR (TMIR) distribution by [16], transmuted exponentiated IR (TEIR) distribution by [17], Kumaraswamy exponentiated IR (KEIR) distribution by [18], weighted IR (WIR) distribution by [19], odd Fréchet IR (OFIR) distribution by [20], type II Topp-Leone IR (TIITLIR) distribution by [21], type II Topp-Leone generalized IR (TIITLGIR) distribution by [22] and exponentiated IR (EIR) distribution by [23].However, to the best of our knowledge, the use of the half-logistic transformation to extend the IR distribution remains unexplored, despite recent success in this regard. This half-log...

The paper addresses a new four-parameter probability distribution called the Exponentiated Exponential Burr XII or abbreviated as EE-BXII. We derive various statistical properties in addition to the parameter estimation, moments, and asymptotic confidence bounds. We estimate the precision of the maximum likelihood estimators via a simulation study. Furthermore, the utility of the proposed distribution is evaluated by using two lifetime data sets and the results are compared with other existing probability distributions. The results clarify that the proposed distribution provides a better fit to these data sets as compared to the existing probability distributions.

An important problem in statistics is to obtain information about the form of the population from which the sample is drawn. Goodness of fit (GOF) tests is employed to determine how well the observed sample data “fits” some proposed model. The well known standard goodness of fit tests; Kolomogorov-Smirnov (KS), Cramer von Mises (CVM) and Anderson-(AD) tests are used for continuous distributions. When the parameters are unknown, the standard tables for these tests are not valid. The complete sample procedures of goodness of fit tests are inappropriate for use with censored samples. The critical values obtained from published tables of the complete sample test statistic are necessarily conservative. In this paper, we obtain the tables of critical values of modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, Cramer-Von Mises (CVM) test and Anderson-Darling (AD) test for the Compound Rayleigh (CR) distribution with unknown parameters in the case of complete and type II censored samples. Furthermore, we present power comparison between KS test, CVM test and AD test for a number of alternative distributions. Applications of the considered distribution to real medical data sets given by Stablein et al. (1981) are presented.

In this article we introduce a new six - parameters model called the Beta Generalized Exponentiated-Frechet (BGEF) distribution which exhibits decreasing hazard rate. Many models such as Beta Frechet (BF), Beta ExponentiatedFrechet (BEF), Generalized Exponentiated-Frechet (GEF), ExponentiatedFrechet (EF), Frechet (F) are sub models. Some of its properties including rth moment, reliability and hazard rate are investigated. The method of maximum likelihood isproposed to estimate the model parameters. The observed Fisher’s information matrix is given. Moreover, we give the advantage of the (BGEF) distribution by an application using two real datasets
