Abstract

This paper offers the introduction of a new updated form of the Dagum distribution. The new updated form of the Dagum model is called a novel generalized-Dagum distribution. The proposed novel generalized-Dagum distribution is a prominent updated form of the Dagum model with a single additional/extra parameter. The novel generalized-Dagum model is produced by mixing the Dagum distribution with the novel generalized-M distributions approach. The heavy-tailed properties of the novel generalized-Dagum model are obtained. The derivation of the estimators and a simulation study of the novel generalized-Dagum distribution are also provided. Finally, the novel generalized-Dagum model is illustrated by analyzing two real-life data sets related to the financial sector. The first data set represents the Bitcoin exchange rates vs the United States dollars. Whereas, the second data set represents the Ethereum exchange rates vs the United States dollars. Using the Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange rates data sets, the fitting power of the novel generalized-Dagum model is compared with the transmuted Dagum distribution and a new modified Dagum distribution.
