Abstract:In this article, we introduce the Lomax-Weibull (LoW) distribution using the method of composition of CDFs from the Lomax and Weibull distributions. Expressions for the moment generating function, hazard and survival functions were derived. A plot of the probability distribution function and cumulative distributions were done using the Python software. We also used the maximum likelihood method of estimation to derive the score functions for estimating the parameters 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.
