A novel asymmetric extension of power XLindley distribution: properties, inference and applications to engineering data

It is impossible to overstate the importance of using trigonometric functions appropriately in distribution theory. The main contribution of the research is to construct a flexible trigonometric extension of the power XLindley distribution. More specifically, we build an innovative two-parameter lifetime distribution known as the sine power XLindley distribution (SPXLD) using characteristics from the sine-generated family of distributions. As the main motivational fact, it provides an attractive alternative to the power Lindley, power XLindley, weighted Lindley, and extended power Lindley distributions; it may be better able to model lifetime phenomena presenting data of leptokurtic and platkurtic nature. In contrast to the increasing, decreasing, and reversed-j-shaped hazard rate function, the density exhibits asymmetric shapes with varying peakedness levels. Several significant characteristics are illustrated, including moments, the quantile function, the probability density function in series representation, the stress-strength reliability, and incomplete moments. To analyze the behavior of the suggested distribution, sixteen estimation techniques are applied, such as the maximum likelihood, percentiles, some methods of minimum distances, some methods based on minimum and maximum spacing distances, and the Kolmogorov method. After that, an extensive simulation study and the examination of two survival real datasets are used to show the viability, usefulness, and adaptability of the SPXLD. Relevant goodness of fit criteria demonstrates that the SPXLD fits several current distributions.
