A new Lomax Rayleigh distribution (NLRD) is proposed and generated using Transformed Transformer (T-X) family generator. Various structural properties like generating functions, moments, limiting form, quantile function median and mode of NLRD are studied. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the parameters are obtained and the model fitting is tested with simulated data. Model adequacy with live data is explained with two real-time cancer data sets. The NLRD shows a better fit in the estimation of survival in bile duct cancer and head and neck cancer data than other existing distributions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
