The estimation of the parameters of the family of distributions was done using the maximum likelihood estimation method, considering complete and censored situations. Using the Exponential distribution as a baseline, the Exponentiated Chen Exponential distribution was obtained and its statistical properties were studied. The Exponentiated Chen Exponential distribution has the Exponentiated Exponential, Exponential, Chen Exponential distributions as submodels. Lastly, the Exponentiated Chen Exponential distribution was applied to two real data sets and the results were compared with its submodels and relative distributions.","PeriodicalId":51761,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Journal of Statistics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89240769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Power comparisons of all such tests are performed via Monte Carlo simulations of sample data generatedfrom twenty seven alternatives distributions.

In this paper, a new mixture family of the lifetime distributions is introduced via harmonic weighted mean of an underlying distribution and the distribution of the proportional hazard model corresponding to the baseline model.The proposed class of distributions includes the general Marshall-Olkin family of distributions as a special case. Some important properties of the proposed model such as survival function, hazard function, order statistics and some results on stochastic ordering are obtained in a general setting. A special case of this new family is considered by employingWeibull distribution as the parent distribution. We derive several properties of the special distribution such as moments,hazard function survival regression and certain characterizations results. Moreover, we estimate the parameters of the model by using frequentist and Bayesian approaches. For Bayesian analysis, five loss functions, namely the squared error loss function (SELF), weighted squared error loss function (WSELF), modified squared error loss function (MSELF), precautionary loss function (PLF), and K-loss function (KLF) are considered. The beta prior as well as the gamma prior are used to obtain the Bayes estimators and posterior risk of the unknown parameters of the model. Furthermore, credible intervals (CIs) and highest posterior density (HPD) intervals are also obtained. A simulation study is presented via Monte Carlo to investigate the bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators. For illustrative purposes, two real-life applications of the proposed distribution to Kidney and cancer patients are provided.","PeriodicalId":51761,"journal":{"name":"Austrian Journal of Statistics","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88518328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, on the basis of the proposed zero-inflated distribution, a novel zero-inflated regression model is proposed, which is quite simple and may be an interesting alternative to usual zero-inflated regression models for count data. The parameters of the proposed model are estimated by Maximum Likelihood Estimation technique. To check the potentiality of the zero inflated Modified Borel-Tanner regression, an application to the count of infected blood cells is taken.

On the other hand, we may measure the degree of departure from the marginal homogeneity model. To measure the degree of that, multiple indexes were proposed. Some of them correspond to the marginal cumulative logistic and extended marginal homogeneity models. The proposed model corresponds to the index, which represents the degree of departure from the MH model, using marginal ridits.
