Generalized exponential distribution: different method of estimations

TLDR
In this article, the authors considered the maximum likelihood estimation of the different parameters of a generalized exponential distribution and discussed some of the testing of hypothesis problems, and compared their performances through numerical simulations.
Abstract
Recently a new distribution, named as generalized exponential distribution has been introduced and studied quite extensively by the authors. Generalized exponential distribution can be used as an alternative to gamma or Weibull distribution in many situations. In a companion paper, the authors considered the maximum likelihood estimation of the different parameters of a generalized exponential distribution and discussed some of the testing of hypothesis problems. In this paper we mainly consider five other estimation procedures and compare their performances through numerical simulations.

Families of distributions arising from distributions of order statistics

M. C. Jones
- 01 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple generalisation of the use of the collection of order statistic distributions associated with symmetric distributions is presented, and an alternative derivation of this family of distributions is as the result of applying the inverse probability integral transformation to the beta distribution.

Generalized Rayleigh distribution

TL;DR: Different estimation procedures have been used to estimate the unknown parameter(s) and their performances are compared using Monte Carlo simulations, and it is observed that this particular skewed distribution can be used quite effectively in analyzing lifetime data.

Generalized exponential distribution: Existing results and some recent developments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a generalized exponential distribution for analyzing bathtub failure data, which has a right skewed unimodal density function and monotone hazard function similar to the density functions and hazard functions of the gamma and Weibull distributions.

Proportional reversed hazard rate model and its applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and properties of the proportional reversed hazard rate model (PRHRM) in contrast to the celebrated proportional hazard model (PHM) are studied and some criteria of aging are presented and the inheritance of the aging notions (of the base distribution) by the PRHRM is studied.

L-Moments: Analysis and Estimation of Distributions Using Linear Combinations of Order Statistics

TL;DR: The authors define L-moments as the expectations of certain linear combinations of order statistics, which can be defined for any random variable whose mean exists and form the basis of a general theory which covers the summarization and description of theoretical probability distributions.

Generalized Exponential Distributions

TL;DR: In this article, a three-parameter generalized exponential distribution (GED) was used for analysis of lifetime data, which is a particular case of the exponentiated Weibull distribution originally proposed by Mudholkar et al.
