Marshall Olkin Exponentiated Dagum Distribution: Properties and Applications

Abstract

Marshall Olkin Exponentiated Dagum distribution (MOED) with four shape parameters and one scale parameter is proposed. Alternative expressions are derived for the newly proposed distribution to sort out lengthy calculations. Various properties of MOED are derived, including the measure of central tendency, the measure of dispersion, hazard rate and survival rate are also derived for the MOED. Moreover, the network properties are also derived, including moments, moment generating function, quantile function, median, and mean deviation random number generator. Estimation of parameters is done through MLE (Maximum likelihood estimation) method, and to assess the value of the proposed distribution, the performance of the parameter’s estimates is studied through Monte Carlo Simulation. Three real-life data sets are used to evaluate the application and to scrutinize the performance of MOED as compared to the Marshall Olkin Dagum (MOD) distribution, Exponentiated Dagum (ED) distribution, Dagum (D) distribution, Burr III distribution, Kumaraswamy Burr III (KBurr III) distribution, Kumaraswamy Log Logistic (KLL) distribution and Log Logistic (LL) distribution. Four information criteria are used to examine the performance of the MOED with other special cases. The results showed that the newly proposed distribution performs better than the compared distributions.

Marshall-Olkin Cosine Topp-Leone Family of Distributions with Application to Real-life Datasets

“…For example, [4] proposed the Topp-Leone Marshall-Olkin-G family of distributions, which is a flexible model capable of effectively handling heavy-tailed data and various hazard rate functions. The Marshall Olkin Exponentiated Dagum (MOED) distribution has also been applied to real-life datasets and has yielded encouraging results [5]. Furthermore, the Marshall-Olkin-odd power generalized Weibull (MO-OPGW-G) distribution is suitable for analyzing covid-19 data [6], while the Marshall-Olkin-Type II-Topp-Leone-G (MO-TII-TL-G) family of distributions exhibits power-law behavior, which is a common characteristic observed in real-life datasets [7].…”

A New Odd Beta Prime-Burr X Distribution with Applications to Petroleum Rock Sample Data and COVID-19 Mortality Rate

“…Statistical distributions play a crucial role in statistics, probability theory, and various domains of science and engineering in describing and predicting the characteristics of natural phenomena. However, the classical probability distributions do not always adequately capture many naturally existing asymmetric data sets [1]. To overcome this limitation, there is a need to enhance the flexibility of existing distributions in modeling data, particularly in reliability analysis, where the hazard rate can have various shapes.…”
