New Lomax-G family of distributions: Statistical properties and applications

Abstract

This research article introduces a new family of distributions developed using the innovative beta-generated transformation technique. Among these distributions, the focus is on the inverse exponential power distribution, which exhibits unique reverse-J, inverted bathtub, or monotonically increasing hazard functions. This paper thoroughly investigates the distribution’s key characteristics and utilizes the maximum likelihood estimation method to determine its associated parameters. To assess the accuracy of the estimation procedure, the researchers conducted a simulation experiment, revealing diminishing biases and mean square errors with increasing sample sizes, even when working with small samples. Moreover, the practical applicability of the proposed distribution is demonstrated by analyzing real-world COVID-19 and medical datasets. The article establishes that the proposed model outperforms existing models by using model selection criteria and conducting goodness-of-fit test statistics. The potential applications of this research extend to various fields where modeling and analyzing hazard functions or survival data are crucial. Additionally, the study contributes to advancing probability theory and statistical inferences.
