TLDR
In this article, a simple generalization of the Weibull distribution is presented, which is well suited for modeling bathtub failure rate lifetime data and for testing goodness-of-fit of the weibull and negative exponential models as subhypotheses.

The Arcsine Exponentiated-X Family: Validation and Insurance Application

TL;DR: The modified test shows that the ASE-W model can be used as a good candidate for analyzing heavy tailed insurance claims data andMaximum likelihood is used to estimate the model parameters, and its performance is evaluated by two simulation studies.

A Class of Weighted Weibull Distribution

TL;DR: The weighted Weibull model is proposed in this paper following the method of Azzalini (1985) and basic properties of the distribution, including moments, generating function, hazard rate function and estimation of parameters, have been studied.

A new generalized of transmuted Lindley distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced a new generalization of the transmuted Lindley distribution, based on a new family of life time distribution by Mansour et al. They refer to the new distribution as transmutedLindley distribution (NTL) distribution.

On the Log-Logistic Distribution and Its Generalizations: A Survey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review on the log-logistic distribution and some of its recent generalizations, including the eight different functions used to define lifetime distributions, and obtain the properties of some loglogistic generalizations from linear representations.

The Odd Generalized Exponential Gompertz Distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, the odd generalized exponential gompertz distribution (GEDG) was proposed and some structural properties of the GEDG were studied, and the method of maximum likelihood was used for estimating the model parameters and the observed Fisher's information matrix was derived.

Statistical Models and Methods for Lifetime Data

TL;DR: Inference procedures for Log-Location-Scale Distributions as discussed by the authors have been used for estimating likelihood and estimating function methods. But they have not yet been applied to the estimation of likelihood.
