Inference and other aspects for $ q- $Weibull distribution via generalized order statistics with applications to medical datasets

Abstract

<abstract><p>This work utilizes generalized order statistics (GOSs) to study the $ q $-Weibull distribution from several statistical perspectives. First, we explain how to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) and utilize Bayesian techniques to estimate the parameters of the model. The Fisher information matrix (FIM) required for asymptotic confidence intervals (CIs) is generated by obtaining explicit expressions. A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to compare the performances of these estimates based on type Ⅱ censored samples. Two well-established measures of information are presented, namely extropy and weighted extropy. In this context, the order statistics (OSs) and sequential OSs (SOSs) for these two measures are studied based on this distribution. A bivariate $ q $-Weibull distribution based on the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family and its relevant concomitants are studied. Finally, two concrete instances of medical real data are ultimately provided.</p></abstract>
