A new one-parameter lifetime distribution and its regression model with applications

Abstract

Lifetime distributions are an important statistical tools to model the different characteristics of lifetime data sets. The statistical literature contains very sophisticated distributions to analyze these kind of data sets. However, these distributions have many parameters which cause a problem in estimation step. To open a new opportunity in modeling these kind of data sets, we propose a new extension of half-logistic distribution by using the odd Lindley-G family of distributions. The proposed distribution has only one parameter and simple mathematical forms. The statistical properties of the proposed distributions, including complete and incomplete moments, quantile function and Rényi entropy, are studied in detail. The unknown model parameter is estimated by using the different estimation methods, namely, maximum likelihood, least square, weighted least square and Cramer-von Mises. The extensive simulation study is given to compare the finite sample performance of parameter estimation methods based on the complete and progressive Type-II censored samples. Additionally, a new log-location-scale regression model is introduced based on a new distribution. The residual analysis of a new regression model is given comprehensively. To convince the readers in favour of the proposed distribution, three real data sets are analyzed and compared with competitive models. Empirical findings show that the proposed one-parameter lifetime distribution produces better results than the other extensions of half-logistic distribution.

Modeling Extreme Values Utilizing an Asymmetric Probability Function

“…We discuss seven methods to estimate the parameters of the TLE-NH model which can be implemented using the "AdequacyModel" script in "R" software, which provides a general meta-heuristic optimization technique for maximizing or minimizing an arbitrary objective function. The major aim of using various estimation approaches is to get the best estimators for good analytics, for instance Eliwa et al [14], El-Morshedy et al [15], Hamedani et al [16] and Elgohari et al [17], among others.…”

Inference on adaptive progressively hybrid censoring schemes under partially accelerated life test for OLiHL distribution

“…This section uses a new one‐parameter distribution called OLiHL and proposed by Eliwa et al 33 . A random variable X follows OLiHL distribution if the cumulative distribution function ( cdf ) and probability density function ( pdf ) take the following forms.…”
