A novel bivariate Lomax-G family of distributions: Properties, inference, and applications to environmental, medical, and computer science data

Abstract

<abstract><p>This paper presents a novel family of bivariate continuous Lomax generators known as the BFGMLG family, which is constructed using univariate Lomax generator (LG) families and the Farlie Gumbel Morgenstern (FGM) copula. We have derived several structural statistical properties of our proposed bivariate family, such as marginals, conditional distribution, conditional expectation, product moments, moment generating function, correlation, reliability function, and hazard rate function. The paper also introduces four special submodels of the new family based on the Weibull, exponential, Pareto, and log-logistic baseline distributions. The study establishes metrics for local dependency and examines the significant characteristics of the proposed bivariate model. To provide greater flexibility, a multivariate version of the continuous FGMLG family are suggested. Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods are employed to estimate the model parameters, and a Monte Carlo simulation evaluates the performance of the proposed bivariate family. Finally, the practical application of the proposed bivariate family is demonstrated through the analysis of four data sets.</p></abstract>

Advanced Copula-Based Models for Type II Censored Data: Applications in Industrial and Medical Settings

“…Qura et al [18] introduced a bivariate power Lomax distribution, named BFGMPLx, which is based on Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) copulas. Fayomi et al [19] presented a novel family of bivariate continuous Lomax generators called the BFGMLG family. This family is constructed by utilizing univariate Lomax generator (LG) families and the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) copula.…”

A New Odd Beta Prime-Burr X Distribution with Applications to Petroleum Rock Sample Data and COVID-19 Mortality Rate

“…To overcome this limitation, there is a need to enhance the flexibility of existing distributions in modeling data, particularly in reliability analysis, where the hazard rate can have various shapes. Consequently, in recent years, there have been several attempts to introduce new distributions that can generalize the established models, thereby improving their flexibility for modeling a variety of realworld problems, including problems in engineering, finance, health, biology, agriculture, demography, economics, the environment, and many other fields [2,3]. Many studies have also focused on introducing new families of probability distributions by generalizing and extending existing families of distributions that are more flexible and useful in explaining diverse natural phenomena [4,5].…”
