The Marshall – Olkin Teissier generated model for lifetime data

Abstract

An accurate mathematical inference depends on the experimental design and the model adopted in the process. Thus, in this study Marshall – Olkin Teissier generated distribution was used to present the distribution of the true nature of lifetime data. The characteristics of the proposed model were examined in a closed form. The behaviour of the new model indicated that the hazard rate of the submodels could be J- and U-shaped, decreasing and increasing. Monte Carlo simulations were presented for different configurations of parameters with varying sizes. The results of the simulation and goodness-of-fit of the real lifetime data show that the Marshall – Olkin Teissier generated model is flexible, tractable and applicable when compared to some classical two parameters distributions.
