This study proposes a new family of continuous distributions, called the Gudermannian generated family of distributions, based on the Gudermannian function. The statistical properties, including moments, incomplete moments and generating functions, are studied in detail. Simulation studies are performed to discuss and evaluate the maximum likelihood estimations of the model parameters. The regression model of the proposed family considering the heteroscedastic structure of the scale parameter is defined. Three applications on real data sets are implemented to convince the readers in favour of the proposed models.
In this article, a new four-parameter model is introduced which can be used in mod- eling survival data and fatigue life studies. Its failure rate function can be increasing, decreasing, upside down and bathtub-shaped depending on its parameters. We derive explicit expressions for some of its statistical and mathematical quantities. Some useful characterizations are presented. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. The censored maximum likelihood estimation is presented in the general case of the multi-censored data. We demonstrate empirically the importance and exibility of the new model in modeling a real data set.
Abstract
We study some mathematical properties of a new generator of continuous distributions called the Odd Nadarajah-Haghighi (ONH) family. In particular, three special models in this family are investigated, namely the ONH gamma, beta and Weibull distributions. The family density function is given as a linear combination of exponentiated densities. Further, we propose a bivariate extension and various characterization results of the new family. We determine the maximum likelihood estimates of ONH parameters for complete and censored data. We provide a simulation study to verify the precision of these estimates. We illustrate the performance of the new family by means of a real data set.
