A novel four-parameter lifetime Lomax model is presented and investigated within the scope of this paper. The failure rate of the innovative model can be “monotonically decreasing failure rate,” “monotonically increasing failure rate,” or “constant failure rate,” and the density of the model can be “asymmetric right skewed,” “symmetric,” “asymmetric left skewed,” or “uniform density”. The new density is expressed as a blend of the Lomax densities that have been multiplied by an exponent. New bivariate Lomax types were created for our research. The maximum likelihood technique was utilized. We performed simulated experiments for the purpose of evaluating the finite sample behavior of maximum likelihood estimators, using “biases” and “mean squared errors” as our primary metrics of analysis. The novel distribution was evaluated based on a number of pertinent Lomax models, including Lomax extensions that were generated on the basis of odd log-logistic, Kumaraswamy, beta, gamma, and Topp–Leone families, among others. The newly developed extension demonstrated its relevance by predicting the service and failure times of datasets pertaining to aircraft windshields.
