Abstract

In this paper, by including a trigonometric function, we propose a family of heavy-tailed distribution called the arcsine Kumaraswamy generalized-X family of distributions. Based on the proposed approach, a four-parameter extension of the Lomax distribution called the arcsine Kumaraswamy generalized Lomax (ASKUG-LOMAX) distribution is discussed in detail. Maximum likelihood, bootstrap, and Bayesian estimation are used to estimate the model parameters. A simulation study is used to evaluate ASKUG-LOMAX performance. The flexibility and usefulness of the proposed ASKUG-LOMAX distribution to predict unique symmetric and asymmetric patterns is demonstrated by analyzing real data. The results show that the ASKUG-LOMAX model is a good candidate for analyzing claims based on heavy-tailed data.
