In a view to obtain a new distribution that is more exible than the type I generalized half logistic distribution, we used the beta-G generator and the type I generalized half logistic distribution. Some properties of the new distribution including the cummulative distribution function,survival function, hazard function were studied. Estimation of parameters were done using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Application of the derived distribution to lifetime data was illustrated by applying to remission times of bladder cancer patient data and survival times of guinea pigs.
In this study, a new continuous one parameter lifetime distribution is proposed. Its mathematical properties such as moments, order statistics, entropy, survival function, hazard rate function and mean residual life function are derived. The new distribution is applied to real-life data from engineering and the method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameter. The goodness-of-fit of the new distribution shows its better fit to the data than some competing 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.
