Abstract

The new distributions are very useful in describing real data sets, because these distributions are more flexible to model real data that present a high degree of skewness and kurtosis. The choice of the best-suited statistical distribution for modeling data is very important.In this paper, A new class of distributions called the {\it New odd log-logistic generalized half-normal} (NOLL-GHN) family with four parameters is introduced and studied. This model contains sub-models such as half-normal (HN), generalized half-normal (GHN )and odd log-logistic generalized half-normal (OLL-GHN) distributions.some statistical properties such as moments and moment generating function have been calculated.The Biases and MSE's of estimator methods such as maximum likelihood estimators , least squares estimators, weighted least squares estimators,Cramer-von-Mises estimators, Anderson-Darling estimators and right tailed Anderson-Darling estimators are calculated.The fitness capability of this model has been investigated by fitting this model and others based on real data sets. The maximum likelihood estimators are assessed with simulated real data from proposed model. We present the simulation in order to test validity of maximum likelihood estimators.

Highlights

  • Fatigue is considered one of the most common causes of failures of mechanical components

  • Pescim et al (2013) proposed a log-linear regression model based on the beta generalized half-Normal (BGHN) distribution, while Ramires et al (2013) defined the beta generalized half-normal geometric (BGHNG) distribution in order to achieve wider diversity among the density and failure rate functions

  • The results indicate that the NOLLGHN model has the smallest values of these statistics and largest p-values among all fitted models

Summary

Introduction

Fatigue is considered one of the most common causes of failures of mechanical components. To deal with part of this problem, Cooray and Ananda (2008) proposed the generalized half-normal (GHN) distribution derived from a model for static fatigue They demonstrated that the GHN distribution modeling monotone failure rates (increasing and decreasing) and non-monotone failure rate (bathtub shaped) for certain values of its shape parameter, providing its greater applicability. Pescim et al (2013) proposed a log-linear regression model based on the BGHN distribution, while Ramires et al (2013) defined the beta generalized half-normal geometric (BGHNG) distribution in order to achieve wider diversity among the density and failure rate functions. The new distribution due to its flexibility in accommodating bathtub and unimodal shape forms of the hrf could be an important model in a variety of problems in survival analysis It is suitable for testing goodness-of-fit of the special cases. It allows four major hazard shapes: increasing, bathtub and unimodal hazard rates
