A new family of slash distributions, the modified slashed-Rayleigh distribution, is proposed and studied. This family is an extension of the ordinary Rayleigh distribution, being more flexible in terms of distributional kurtosis. It arises as a quotient of two independent random variables, one being a Rayleigh distribution in the numerator and the other a power of the exponential distribution in denominator. We present properties of the proposed family. In addition, we carry out estimation of the model parameters by moment and maximum likelihood methods. Finally, we conduct a small-scale simulation study to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators and apply the results to a real data set, revealing its good performance.  相似文献

The Bimodal Normal distribution introduced by Alavi (2011) is a symmetric distribution where its variance is three times the variance of the corresponding normal distribution. Azzalini (1985) introduced the univariate Skew Normal distribution to model asymmetry data. In this paper the Skew Bimodal Normal–Normal distribution is introduced as a skew-symmetric distribution generated by the cumulative function of standard normal. Some properties of the distribution and some methods for generating data from this distribution are introduced. The maximum likelihood estimation of parameters is obtained. The distribution is fitted to the Old Faithful Geyser data.  相似文献

In this paper, we study some mathematical properties of the beta Weibull (BW) distribution, which is a quite flexible model in analysing positive data. It contains the Weibull, exponentiated exponential, exponentiated Weibull and beta exponential distributions as special sub-models. We demonstrate that the BW density can be expressed as a mixture of Weibull densities. We provide their moments and two closed-form expressions for their moment-generating function. We examine the asymptotic distributions of the extreme values. Explicit expressions are derived for the mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, reliability and two entropies. The density of the BW-order statistics is a mixture of Weibull densities and two closed-form expressions are derived for their moments. The estimation of the parameters is approached by two methods: moments and maximum likelihood. We compare the performances of the estimates obtained from both the methods by simulation. The expected information matrix is derived. For the first time, we introduce a log-BW regression model to analyse censored data. The usefulness of the BW distribution is illustrated in the analysis of three real data sets.  相似文献

In this article, we introduce the slashed power-Lindley distribution. This model can be seen as an extension of the power-Lindley distribution with more flexibility in terms of the kurtosis of distribution. It arises as the ratio of two independent random variables, the one being a power-Lindley distribution and a power of the uniform distribution. We present properties and carry out estimates of the model parameters by the maximum likelihood method. Finally, we conduct a small simulation study to evaluate the performance of maximum likelihood estimators and we analyze a real data set to illustrate the usefulness of the new model.  相似文献

We introduce a new family of distributions suitable for fitting positive data sets with high kurtosis which is called the Slashed Generalized Rayleigh Distribution. This distribution arises as the quotient of two independent random variables, one being a generalized Rayleigh distribution in the numerator and the other a power of the uniform distribution in the denominator. We present properties and carry out estimation of the model parameters by moment and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. Finally, we conduct a small simulation study to evaluate the performance of ML estimators and analyze real data sets to illustrate the usefulness of the new model.  相似文献

In this paper, a new discrete distribution called Uniform-Geometric distribution is proposed. Several distributional properties including survival function, moments, skewness, kurtosis, entropy and hazard rate function are discussed. Estimation of distribution parameter is studied by methods of moments, proportions and maximum likelihood. A simulation study is performed to compare the performance of the different estimates in terms of bias and mean square error. Two real data applications are also presented to see that new distribution is useful in modelling data.  相似文献

We propose a three-parameter distribution referred to as the reflected- shifted-truncated gamma (RSTG) distribution to model negatively skewed data. Various properties of the proposed distribution are derived. The estimation of the model parameters is approached by maximum likelihood methods and the observed information matrix is derived. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. Using information theoretic criteria, we compare the RSTG distribution to the exponential, generalized F, generalized gamma, Gompertz, log-logistic, lognormal, Rayleigh, and Weibull distributions in three negatively skewed real datasets.  相似文献

In this paper, we introduce a new lifetime distribution by compounding exponential and Poisson–Lindley distributions, named the exponential Poisson–Lindley (EPL) distribution. A practical situation where the EPL distribution is most appropriate for modelling lifetime data than exponential–geometric, exponential–Poisson and exponential–logarithmic distributions is presented. We obtain the density and failure rate of the EPL distribution and properties such as mean lifetime, moments, order statistics and Rényi entropy. Furthermore, estimation by maximum likelihood and inference for large samples are discussed. The paper is motivated by two applications to real data sets and we hope that this model will be able to attract wider applicability in survival and reliability.  相似文献

The coefficient of variation (CV) is extensively used in many areas of applied statistics including quality control and sampling. It is regarded as a measure of stability or uncertainty, and can indicate the relative dispersion of data in the population to the population mean. In this article, based on progressive first-failure-censored data, we study the behavior of the CV of a random variable that follows a Burr-XII distribution. Specifically, we compute the maximum likelihood estimations and the confidence intervals of CV based on the observed Fisher information matrix using asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator and also by using the bootstrapping technique. In addition, we propose to apply Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques to tackle this problem, which allows us to construct the credible intervals. A numerical example based on real data is presented to illustrate the implementation of the proposed procedure. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to observe the behavior of the proposed methods.  相似文献

Bayesian methods are often used to reduce the sample sizes and/or increase the power of clinical trials. The right choice of the prior distribution is a critical step in Bayesian modeling. If the prior not completely specified, historical data may be used to estimate it. In the empirical Bayesian analysis, the resulting prior can be used to produce the posterior distribution. In this paper, we describe a Bayesian Poisson model with a conjugate Gamma prior. The parameters of Gamma distribution are estimated in the empirical Bayesian framework under two estimation schemes. The straightforward numerical search for the maximum likelihood (ML) solution using the marginal negative binomial distribution is unfeasible occasionally. We propose a simplification to the maximization procedure. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is used to create a set of Poisson parameters from the historical count data. These Poisson parameters are used to uniquely define the Gamma likelihood function. Easily computable approximation formulae may be used to find the ML estimations for the parameters of gamma distribution. For the sample size calculations, the ML solution is replaced by its upper confidence limit to reflect an incomplete exchangeability of historical trials as opposed to current studies. The exchangeability is measured by the confidence interval for the historical rate of the events. With this prior, the formula for the sample size calculation is completely defined.

Abstract

In this work, we introduce a new skewed slash distribution. This modification of the skew-slash distribution is obtained by the quotient of two independent random variables. That quotient consists on a skew-normal distribution divided by a power of an exponential distribution with scale parameter equal to two. In this way, the new skew distribution has a heavier tail than that of the skew-slash distribution. We give the probability density function expressed by an integral, but we obtain some important properties useful for making inferences, such as moment estimators and maximum likelihood estimators. By way of illustration and by using real data, we provide maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters of the modified skew-slash and the skew-slash distributions. Finally, we introduce a multivariate version of this new distribution.  相似文献

Distribution of maximum or minimum values (extreme values) of a dataset is especially used in natural phenomena including sea waves, flow discharge, wind speeds, and precipitation and it is also used in many other applied sciences such as reliability studies and analysis of environmental extreme events. So if we can explain the extremal behavior via statistical formulas, we can estimate how their behavior would be in the future. In this paper, we study extreme values of maximum precipitation in Zahedan using maximal generalized extreme value distribution, which all maxima of a data set are modeled using it. Also, we apply four methods to estimate distribution parameters including maximum likelihood estimation, probability weighted moments, elemental percentile and quantile least squares then compare estimates by average scaled absolute error criterion and obtain quantiles estimates and confidence intervals. In addition, goodness-of-fit tests are described. As a part of result, the return period of maximum precipitation is computed.  相似文献

Researchers have been developing various extensions and modified forms of the Weibull distribution to enhance its capability for modeling and fitting different data sets. In this note, we investigate the potential usefulness of the new modification to the standard Weibull distribution called odd Weibull distribution in income economic inequality studies. Some mathematical and statistical properties of this model are proposed. We obtain explicit expressions for the first incomplete moment, quantile function, Lorenz and Zenga curves and related inequality indices. In addition to the well-known stochastic order based on Lorenz curve, the stochastic order based on Zenga curve is considered. Since the new generalized Weibull distribution seems to be suitable to model wealth, financial, actuarial and especially income distributions, these findings are fundamental in the understanding of how parameter values are related to inequality. Also, the estimation of parameters by maximum likelihood and moment methods is discussed. Finally, this distribution has been fitted to United States and Austrian income data sets and has been found to fit remarkably well in compare with the other widely used income models.  相似文献

In this paper, we study the performance of a soccer player based on analysing an incomplete data set. To achieve this aim, we fit the bivariate Rayleigh distribution to the soccer dataset by the maximum likelihood method. In this way, the missing data and right censoring problems, that usually happen in such studies, are considered. Our aim is to inference about the performance of a soccer player by considering the stress and strength components. The first goal of the player of interest in a match is assumed as the stress component and the second goal of the match is assumed as the strength component. We propose some methods to overcome incomplete data problem and we use these methods to inference about the performance of a soccer player.  相似文献

In this paper we introduce a modified slash distribution obtained by modifying the usual slash distribution. This new distribution is based on the quotient of two independent random variables, whose distributions are the normal and the power of an exponential distribution of scale parameter equals to two, respectively. In this way, the result is a new distribution whose kurtosis values are greater when compared with that of the slash distribution. We study the density, some properties, moments, kurtosis and make inferences by the method of moments and maximum likelihood. We introduce a multivariate version of this new distribution. Moreover, we provide two illustrations with real data showing that the new distribution fits better the data than the ordinary slash distribution.  相似文献

In this paper, we are interested in the weighted distributions of a bivariate three parameter logarithmic series distribution studied by Kocherlakota and Kocherlakota (1990). The weighted versions of the model are derived with weight W(x,y) = x[r] y[s]. Explicit expressions for the probability mass function and probability generating functions are derived in the case r = s = l. The marginal and conditional distributions are derived in the general case. The maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters, in both two parameter and three parameter cases, is studied. A procedure for computer generation of bivariate data from a discrete distribution is described. This enables us to present two examples, in order to illustrate the methods developed, for finding the maximum likelihood estimates.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider some problems of point estimation and point prediction when the competing risks data from a class of exponential distribution are progressive type-I interval censored. The maximum likelihood estimation and mid-point approximation method are proposed for the estimations of parameters. Also several point predictors of censored units such as the maximum likelihood predictor, the best unbiased predictor and the conditional median predictor are obtained. The methods discussed here are applied when the lifetime distributions of the latent failure times are independent and Weibull-distributed. Finally a simulation study is given by using Monte-Carlo simulations to compare the performances of the different methods and one data analysis has been presented for illustrative purposes.  相似文献

The Burr XII distribution offers a more flexible alternative to the lognormal, log-logistic and Weibull distributions. Outliers can occur during reliability life testing. Thus, we need an efficient method to estimate the parameters of the Burr XII distribution for censored data with outliers. The objective of this paper is to present a robust regression (RR) method called M-estimator to estimate the parameters of a two-parameter Burr XII distribution based on the probability plotting procedure for both the complete and multiply-censored data with outliers. The simulation results show that the RR method outperforms the unweighted least squares and maximum likelihood methods in most cases in terms of bias and errors in the root mean square.  相似文献

In this paper, a new generalization of alpha-skew-normal distribution is considered. Some properties of this distribution, which is denoted by GASN(α, λ), including moments, maximum likelihood estimation of parameters, and some other properties are studied. Finally, using a real data set, we show that our new distribution is the best-fitted distribution for the used data among normal, skew normal, alpha-skew-normal, and skew-bimodal-normal distributions.  相似文献
