A new family of distributions called exponentiated Kumaraswamy-Dagum (EKD) distribution is proposed and studied. This family includes several well known sub-models, such as Dagum (D), Burr III (BIII), Fisk or Log-logistic (F or LLog), and new sub-models, namely, Kumaraswamy-Dagum (KD), Kumaraswamy-Burr III (KBIII), Kumaraswamy-Fisk or Kumaraswamy-Log-logistic (KF or KLLog), exponentiated Kumara...

UNLABELLED In this paper, we propose a five-parameter lifetime model called the McDonald exponentiated gamma distribution to extend beta exponentiated gamma, Kumaraswamy exponentiated gamma and exponentiated gamma, among several other models. We provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of this distribution. We derive the moment generating function and the rth moment. We discuss estimation...

background and purpose: the identification of genetics risk factors of human diseases is very important. this study is conducted to model the allele frequencies (afs) of alzheimer’s disease. materials and methods: in this study, several candidate probability distributions are fitted on a data set of alzheimer’s disease genetic risk factor. unknown parameters of the considered distributions are ...

In this paper, the log-exponentiated Kumaraswamy (LEK) distribution is introduced and studied as a survival model of unemployment, its survived function has the interesting property that it can be decreasing depending on the shape parameters. The method of maximum likelihood is applied for estimating the model parameters, survival and hazard rate functions. Stratification is used to reduce hete...

The modeling and analysis of lifetimes is an important aspect of statistical work in a wide variety of scientific and technological fields. For the first time the Kum-GEP distribution is introduced and studied. This distribution can have a decreasing and upside-down bathtub failure rate function depending on the value of its parameters; it's including some special sub-model like exponentiated P...
