The odd inverse Pareto-Weibull distribution is introduced as a new lifetime distribution based on the inverse Pareto and the T-X family. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are studied. The method of maximum likelihood is used for estimating the model parameters and the observed Fisher’s information matrix is derived. The importance and flexibility of the proposed model are assessed using a real data.

Abstract: The paper deals with the introduction of new generalized model i.e., Rayleigh Lomax distribution. In this manuscript, a comprehensive description of the various structural properties of the new proposed model including explicit expressions for moments, quantile function, generating functions and Renyi entropy have been given. The parameters of the newly developed distribution have been estimated using the technique of maximum likelihood estimation. Also, the generalized model has been compared with different models for illustration and best fit.

In this paper, we introduce a new four-parameter distribution called the transmuted Weibull power function (TWPF) distribution which e5xtends the transmuted family proposed by Shaw and Buckley [1]. The hazard rate function of the TWPF distribution can be constant, increasing, decreasing, unimodal, upside down bathtub shaped or bathtub shape. Some mathematical properties are derived including quantile functions, expansion of density function, moments, moment generating function, residual life function, reversed residual life function, mean deviation, inequality measures. The estimation of the model parameters is carried out using the maximum likelihood method. The importance and flexibility of the proposed model are proved empirically using real data sets.

The Power function distribution is a flexible life time distribution that has applications in finance and economics. It is, also, used to model reliability growth of complex systems or the reliability of repairable systems. A new weighted Power function distribution is proposed using a logarithmic weight function. Statistical properties of the weighted power function distribution are obtained and studied. Location measures such as mode, median and mean, reliability measures such as reliability function, hazard and reversed hazard functions and the mean residual life are derived. Shape indices such as skewness and kurtosis coefficients and order statistics are obtained. Parametric estimation is performed to obtain estimators for the parameters of the distribution using three different estimation methods; namely: the maximum likelihood method, the L-moments method and the method of moments. Numerical simulation is carried out to validate the robustness of the proposed distribution.

Abstract: The generalized gamma model has been used in several applied areas such as engineering, economics and survival analysis. We provide an extension of this model called the transmuted generalized gamma distribution, which includes as special cases some lifetime distributions. The proposed density function can be represented as a mixture of generalized gamma densities. Some mathematical properties of the new model such as the moments, generating function, mean deviations and Bonferroni and Lorenz curves are provided. We estimate the model parameters using maximum likelihood. We prove that the proposed distribution can be a competitive model in lifetime applications by means of a real data set.
