The goal of this paper is to develop an optimal statistical model to analyze COVID-19 data in order to model and analyze the COVID-19 mortality rates in Somalia. Combining the log-logistic distribution and the tangent function yields the flexible extension log-logistic tangent (LLT) distribution, a new two-parameter distribution. This new distribution has a number of excellent statistical and mathematical properties, including a simple failure rate function, reliability function, and cumulative distribution function. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is used to estimate the unknown parameters of the proposed distribution. A numerical and visual result of the Monte Carlo simulation is obtained to evaluate the use of the MLE method. In addition, the LLT model is compared to the well-known two-parameter, three-parameter, and four-parameter competitors. Gompertz, log-logistic, kappa, exponentiated log-logistic, Marshall–Olkin log-logistic, Kumaraswamy log-logistic, and beta log-logistic are among the competing models. Different goodness-of-fit measures are used to determine whether the LLT distribution is more useful than the competing models in COVID-19 data of mortality rate analysis.

Statistical inference for a competing risks model using Weibull sub-distributions is discussed in this paper. Both maximum likelihood and the Bayesian procedures are applied to report the point and interval estimations of all model parameters and some of its reliability measures. Complete analysis of a real data set is performed to show the applicability of the studied model.

We focus on estimating the stress-strength reliability model when the strength variable is subjected to the step-stress partially accelerated life test. Based on the assumption that both stress and strength random variables follow Weibull distribution with a common first shape parameter, the inferences for this reliability system are constructed. The maximum likelihood, two parametric bootstraps, and Bayes estimates are obtained. Moreover, approximate confidence intervals, asymptotic variance-covariance matrix, and highest posterior density credible intervals are derived. A simulation study and application to real-life data are conducted to compare the proposed estimation methods developed here and also check the accuracy of the results.

An extension of the cosine generalized family is presented in this paper by using the cosine trigonometric function and method of parameter induction concurrently. Prominent characteristics of the proposed family along with useful results are extracted. Moreover, two new subfamilies and several special models are also deduced. A four-parameter model called an Extended Cosine Weibull (ECW) with its mathematical properties is studied deeply. Graphical study reveals that the new model adopts right- and left-skewed, symmetrical, and reversed-J density shapes, while all possible monotone and nonmonotone shapes are exhibited by the hazard rate function. The maximum likelihood technique is exercised for parametric estimation, while estimation performance is accessed via Monte Carlo simulation study graphically and numerically. The superiority of the presented model over several outstanding and competing models is confirmed via three reliability and survival dataset applications.

For modelling lifetime data from biological research and engineering, the "Akshaya distribution" is a model one-parameter continuous distribution that was proposed by [15]. The non-Bayesian and Bayesian estimation methods for the Akshaya's parameter are also presented in this study. The weighted least square estimation (WLSE), least square estimation (LSE), Cramer-von-Mises estimation (CVME), and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), five traditional estimation approaches, are used to find the model parameter. The parameter of the suggested distribution was also determined using the squared error loss function and Bayesian estimating (BE) under independent gamma priors. Finally, a simulation study is used to expound on the applicability and value of the proposed distribution.
