The Lomax (Pareto II) distribution has found wide application in a variety of fields. We analyze the second-order bias of the maximum likelihood estimators of its parameters for finite sample sizes, and show that this bias is positive. We derive an analytic bias correction which reduces the percentage bias of these estimators by one or two orders of magnitude, while simultaneously reducing rela...

This paper proposes the 4-parameter odd Lomax generalized exponential distribution for study of engineering and COVID-19 data. The statistical mathematical properties this such as a linear representation probability density function, survival hazard rate moments, quantile order statistics, entropy, mean deviation, characteristic average residual life function are established. estimates paramete...
