The key feature of such a novel model is that it adds a new tuning parameter to the unit-Gompertz model using the type-I half-logistic family in order to make the unit-Gompertz model more flexible. Diagrams and numerical results are used to look at the new model’s mathematical and statistical aspects. The efficiency of estimating the distribution parameters is measured using a variety of well-known classical methodologies, including Anderson–Darling, maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, right tail Anderson–Darling, and Cramer–von Mises estimation. Finally, using the maximum likelihood estimation method, the flexibility and ability of the proposed model are illustrated by means of re-analyzing two real datasets, and comparisons are provided with the fit accomplis...

Using Gini’s mean difference, we construct a new PCI, I G I_{G} say, assuming the two-parameter Weibull distribution (WD). In order to estimate the proposed I G I_{G} when the process follows the WD, we use five classical methods of estimation and compare the performance of the obtained estimators with respect to their mean squared errors (MSEs) through a simulation study. Confidence intervals for the proposed PCI are constructed based on five bootstrap confidence intervals (BCIs) methods. Monte Carlo simulation study has been carried out to compare the performance of these five BCIs in terms of average widths and coverage probabilities. Finally, three real data sets from electronic and food industries are employed for illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed study. All these data sets show that the width of bias-corrected accelerated bootstrap interval is minimum amon...

Maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are used to estimate the unknown parameters. To generate the interval estimates of the model parameters, approximate confidence intervals and two bootstrap confidence intervals are also considered based on the classical setup. Bayes estimates are obtained using independent gamma priors based on various loss functions including squared error, LINEX, general entropy, weighted SE, and precautionary loss functions. Moreover, Bayes credible intervals and the highest posterior density intervals of the model parameters are obtained. A numerical investigation has been carried out to assess the performance of the classical and Bayes estimates as well as the associated confidence and credible intervals. Finally, one simulated and two real data sets, one for breaking strengths of...

This paper considers mixture of Topp-Leone distributions under classical and Bayesian perspective based on complete sample. The new distribution which exhibits decreasing and upside down bathtub shaped density while the distribution has the ability to model lifetime data with decreasing, increasing and upside down bathtub shaped failure rates. We derive several properties of the new distribution such as moments, moment generating function, conditional moment, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and the order statistics of the proposed distribution. Moreover, we estimate the parameters of the model by using frequentist and Bayesian approaches. For Bayesian analysis, five loss functions, namely the squared error loss function (SELF), weighted squared error loss...

In this article, we consider efficient estimation of the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of Burr X distribution. Eight different estimation methods namely maximum likelihood estimation, uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimation, least square estimation, weighted least square estimation, percentile estimation, maximum product estimation, Cremer-von-Mises estimation and Anderson-Darling estimation are considered. Analytic expressions for bias and mean squared error are derived. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. Finally, a real data set has been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

The operating characteristic function and average sample number (ASN) values of the double acceptance sampling inspection plan are provided. The values of the minimum number of groups and operating characteristic function for various quality levels are obtained for a group acceptance sampling inspection plan. A comparative study between single acceptance sampling inspection plan and double acceptance sampling inspection plan is carried out in terms of sample size. One simulated example and four real-life examples are discussed to show the applicability of the proposed double and group acceptance sampling inspection plans for ILL distributed quality parameters.

Maximum likelihood and Bayes procedure are used to derive both point and interval estimates of the parameters involved in the model. The expected termination point to complete the censoring test is computed and analyzed under binomial censoring scheme. Further, the discussion has been extended to one- and two-sample prediction estimates and intervals of the future samples under Bayesian paradigm. A numerical study is conducted to compare the performance of the procedures by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, real life examples are analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Here, we introduce a new generalization of the Weibull distribution, called Alpha logarithmic transformed Weibull distribution that provides better fits than some of its known generalizations. The proposed distribution contains Weibull, exponential, logarithmic transformed exponential and logarithmic transformed Weibull distributions as special cases. Our main focus is the estimation from frequentist point of view of the unknown parameters along with some mathematical properties of the new model. The proposed distribution accommodates monotonically increasing, decreasing, bathtub and unimodal and then bathtub shape hazard rates, so it turns out to be quite flexible for analyzing non-negative real life data. We briefly describe different frequentist approaches, namely, maximum likelihood estimators, percentile based estimators, least squares estimators, weighted least squares estimators, maximum product of spacings estimators and compare them using extensive numerical simulations. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. The potentiality of the distribution is analyzed by means of two real data sets.

First, we briefly describe different frequentists approaches: maximum likelihood estimators, moments estimators, least squares estimators, maximum product of spacings estimators, method of Cramer-von-Mises, methods of Anderson-Darling and four variants of Anderson-Darling test and compare them using extensive numerical simulations. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. The performances of the estimators have been compared in terms of their bias and root mean squared error using simulated samples. Also, for each method of estimation, we consider the interval estimation using the bootstrap method and calculate the coverage probability and the average width of the bootstrap confidence intervals. The study reveals that the maximum product of spacing estimators and Anderson-Darling 2 (AD2) estimators are highly competitive with the maximum likelihood estimators in small and large samples. Finally, two real data sets have been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Usually, conventional PCIs perform well under normally distributed quality characteristics. However, when these PCIs are employed to evaluate nonnormally distributed process, they often provide inaccurate results. In this article, in order to estimate the PCI Spmk when the process follows power Lindley distribution, first, seven classical methods of estimation, namely, maximum likelihood method of estimation, ordinary and weighted least squares methods of estimation, Cramèr–von Mises method of estimation, maximum product of spacings method of estimation, Anderson–Darling, and right-tail Anderson–Darling methods of estimation, are considered and the performance of these estimation methods based on their mean squared error is compared. Next, three bootstrap confidence intervals (BCIs) of the PCI Spmk, namely, standard bootstrap, percentile bootstrap, and bias-corrected per...

The uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of reliability is obtained analytically when the common parameter is known. The behavior of proposed reliability estimates is studied using the estimated risks through Monte Carlo simulations and comments are obtained. Finally, a data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.
