This article introduces a new lifetime distribution by merging the first two lower records based on exponential distribution and discusses the different features of the distribution. Statistical inferences about the distribution parameters are discussed with three estimation methods, namely maximum likelihood, least squares, and weighted least squares. Monte Carlo simulation study is performed to evaluate of these estimators based on mean square errors estimation, mean absolute deviation, and mean relative errors of estimation for a sample of different sizes. A distribution simulation analysis based on real data is provided to demonstrate the adaptability of the proposed model.
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.
