“…For comparison, we fitted the first data set with the following distributions, the POGE-HL, POE-HL, odd generalized exponential half logistic (OGE-HL), Poisson half logistic (PHL) by [2], exponentiated half logistic (EHL) by [15], Olapade-generalized half logistic (OLGHL) by [32], generalized exponential (GE) by [14], generalized exponential Poisson (GEP) by [8], BurrXII-Poisson (BXIIP) by [38] and generalized BurrXII-Poisson (GBXIIP) by [28]. For the second data we fitted the POGE-U distribution and compare the fit with the POE-U, odd generalized exponential uniform (OGE-U), gamma-uniform (GU) by [41], generalized modified weibull (GMW) by [11], beta modified weibull (BMW) by [36], beta weibull (BW) by [18], modified weibull distribution (MW) by [17], generalized linear failure rate (GLFR) by [35], generalized linear exponential (GLE) by [20], exponentiated generalized linear exponential (EGLE) by [34] and some family of the generalized modified weibull-power series (GMWPS) such as generalized modified weibull-Poisson (GMWP), generalized modified weibull-Geometric (GMWG) and generalized modified weibull-Logarithmic (GMWL) distributions proposed by [5]. The MLEs of the parameters for each model are computed and the three criteria for model selection are used for comparison namely the Akaike information criterion (AIC), consistent Akaike information criterion (CAIC) and Bayesian information criterion, also the goodness-of-fit statistics known as the Kolmogorov Smirnov (KS) is used to compare the fit of the new POGE family and other competing models.…”
