Understanding the properties of Skew distributions is important in many statistical applications. The Student-t distribution is widely used in statistics. Skew-t distribution is a useful model to describe data with heavy tails. In this paper several distributional properties of Skew-t distribution are...

A new family of continuous probability distributions is proposed by using Kumaraswamy-G distribution as the base line distribution in the Marshall-Olkin construction. A number of known distributions are derived as particular cases. Various properties of the proposed family like formulation of the pdf...

We introduce a new four-parameter distribution with constant, decreasing, increasing, bathtub and upside-down bathtub failure rate called the transmuted exponentiated generalized Weibull model. Some of its mathematical properties including explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments,...

We study an interactive linear model that incorporates investigator and/or supervisor interventions in the context of a two-stage sampling design. We obtain an unbiased estimator of the finite population total and derive an unbiased estimator of its variance. Our method builds on Sinha and Maiti (2014),...

This paper advocates the problem of estimating the population mean on the current occasion in two occasion successive (rotation) sampling under the transformed auxiliary variable using exponential method of estimation. Four different type estimators are suggested for estimating the current population...

In this paper, a new family of distributions is proposed by using quantile functions of known distributions. Some general properties of this family are studied. A special case of the proposed family is studied in detail, namely the Lomax-Weibull distribution. Some structural properties of the special...

Average biosimilarity is investigated under a three-arm parallel design: one arm corresponds to the test drug T , and the other two arms correspond to two versions of the reference drug, say R1 and R2. The hypothesis of interest is the equivalence of the population average response for T with the mean...

Discrete distributions are widely used to model lifetime for count data. In this paper we introduce a new generalization of weighted geometric (GWG) distribution with the weight function w(x) = (1−p^{αx})^β whose special case proposes a discrete generalized weighted exponential distribution. Further,...

In this paper, we formulate and develop a log-linear model using a new distribution called the log-gammalogistic. We show that the new regression model can be applied to censored data since it represents a parametric family of models that includes as sub-models several widely-known regression models...

This article deals with the problems of efficient estimation of population variance in two-phase (double) sampling. Using information on two auxiliary variables, a class of chain exponential to regression type estimators has been proposed and its properties are studied under two different structures...

A new two parameter quasi Poisson Lindley (NQPL) distribution is derived by using the general approach of compounding. One parameter Lindley distribution and geometric distribution may be obtained as a particular case. The new distribution is shown to be unimodal and overdispersed. A few distributional...

In this paper, the Fisher information matrix (FIM) contained in n record values is considered for the two parameter distributions belong to the exponentiated and inverse exponentiated class of distributions. The problem of existence and uniqueness of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters...
