The Kies probability model was proposed as an alternative to the extended Weibull models as it provides a more efficient fit to some real-life data sets in comparison to the aforementioned models. The paper proposes classical and Bayesian inferences for the Kies distribution based on records....

The clustering of their letter shapes is performed based on the pairwise distances between their topological signatures.The article presents a new probability distribution, created by compounding the Poisson distribution with the weighted exponential distribution. Important mathematical and...

In this paper, the two-parameter Akash distribution is generalized to size-biased twoparameter Akash distribution (SBTPAD). A further modification to SBTPAD is introduced, creating the power size-biased two-parameter Akash distribution (PSBTPAD). Several statistical properties of PSBTPAD...

In this paper we propose and test a composite generalizer of the Lomax distribution .The genesis of the beta distribution and transmuted map is used to develop the so-called beta transmuted Lomax (BTL) distribution. The properties of the distribution are discussed and explicit expressions are...

In this paper, a new three-parameter Pareto distribution is introduced and studied. We discuss various mathematical and statistical properties of the new model. Some estimation methods of the model parameters are performed. Moreover, the peaks-over-threshold method is used to estimate...

We develop a new method to estimate the parameters of threshold distributions for market participation based upon an agent-specific attribute and its decision outcome. This method requires few behavioral assumptions, is not data demanding, and can adapt to various parametric distributions. Monte...
