In this paper, we introduce a new univariate version of the Lomax model as well as a simple type copula-based construction via Morgenstern family and via Clayton copula for introducing a new bivariate and a multivariate type extension of the new model. The new density has a strong physical interpretation and can be a symmetric function and unimodal with a heavy tail with positive skewness. The new failure rate function can be “upside-down”, “decreasing” with many different shapes and “decreasing-constant”. Some mathematical and statistical properties of the new model are derived. The model parameters are estimated using different estimation methods. For comparing the estimation methods, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations are performed. The applicability of the new model is illustrated via four real data applications, these data sets are symmetric and right skewed. We constructed a modified Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test based on Nikulin-Rao-Robson test in the case of complete and censored sample for the new model. Different simulation studies are performed along applications on real data for validation propose.
In this paper, we propose a family of heavy tailed distributions, by incorporating a trigonometric function called the arcsine exponentiated-X family of distributions. Based on the proposed approach, a three-parameter extension of the Weibull distribution called the arcsine exponentiated-Weibull (ASE-W) distribution is studied in detail. Maximum likelihood is used to estimate the model parameters, and its performance is evaluated by two simulation studies. Actuarial measures including Value at Risk and Tail Value at Risk are derived for the ASE-W distribution. Furthermore, a numerical study of these measures is conducted proving that the proposed ASE-W distribution has a heavier tail than the baseline Weibull distribution. These actuarial measures are also estimated from insurance claims real data for the ASE-W and other competing distributions. The usefulness and flexibility of the proposed model is proved by analyzing a real-life heavy tailed insurance claims data. We construct a modified chi-squared goodness-of-fit test based on the Nikulin–Rao–Robson statistic to verify the validity of the proposed ASE-W model. The modified test shows that the ASE-W model can be used as a good candidate for analyzing heavy tailed insurance claims data.
In this paper, we introduce a new extension of the Inverse Weibull distribution along with a number of its mathematical properties. Next, we construct a modified Chi-squared goodness-of-fit test based on the Nikulin-Rao-Robson statistic for censored and complete data. We describe the theory and the mechanism of the Y 2 n test statistic which can be used in survival and reliability data analysis. We use the maximum likelihood estimators based on the initial non grouped data sets. Then, we conduct numerical simulations to reinforce the results. For showing the applicability of our model in various fields, we illustrate the proposed test by applications to two real data sets for complete data case and two other data sets in the presence of right censored.
In this paper, a new extension of Lindley distribution has been introduced. Certain characterizations based on truncated moments, hazard and reverse hazard function, conditional expectation of the proposed distribution are presented. Besides, these characterizations, other statistical/mathematical properties of the proposed model are also discussed. The estimation of the parameters is performed through different classical methods of estimation. Bayes estimation is computed under gamma informative prior under the squared error loss function. The performances of all estimation methods are studied via Monte Carlo simulations in mean square error sense. The potential of the proposed model is analyzed through two data sets. A modified goodness-of-fit test using the Nikulin-Rao-Robson statistic test is investigated via two examples and is observed that the new extension might be used as an alternative lifetime model.
