Objective: To find appropriate model more flexible than classical models for fitting the survival data in health research especially in cancer blood (Leukemia) studies by introducing some additional parameters to the basic models. Methods: Based on the Alpha Power transformation technique and using Two-Parameter Odoma distribution, the new distribution called the Alpha Power Two-Parameter Odoma distribution is introduced and studied. The maximum likelihood estimation procedure is employed to estimate the unknown parameters. A simulation study is carried out to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finding: Common statistical properties such as quantile function, rth moments, moment generating function, characteristic function, incomplete moments, entropy and order statistics are derived. The practical importance of the proposed model is illustrated by using goodness-of-fit criterias based on real data set. Novelty: The APTPO distribution is the most appropriate model for fitting survival data of cancer studies comparing with other competitive 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.
