Abstract This article studies the properties of the Topp–Leone linear exponential distribution. The parameters of the new model are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation, and simulation studies are performed to examine the finite sample properties of the parameters. An application of...

Abstract In this paper, a generalization of the Harris family of distributions, namely, the Harris generalized linear exponential distribution is discussed. The use of the model is established by fitting it to a real data set. Also, we derive a reliability test plan for acceptance or rejection...

Abstract In this article, a new family of distributions is introduced by using transmutation maps. The proposed family of distributions is expected to be useful in modeling real data sets. The genesis of the proposed family, including several statistical and reliability properties, is presented....

Abstract In this paper, we propose a flexible extended quadratic hazard rate (EQHR) distribution with increasing, decreasing, bathtub and upside-down bathtub hazard rate function. The EQHR density is arc, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped. This distribution is also obtained from compounding...

Abstract In this article, a generalization of the Weibull distribution called Harris extended Weibull distribution is studied, and its properties are discussed. We fit the distribution to a real-life data set to show the applicability of this distribution in reliability modeling. Also, we derive...

Abstract This paper deals with predicting censored data in a general form for the underlying distribution based on generalized progressive hybrid censoring scheme. A conjugate prior is used and the predictive reliability function is obtained in the one-sample case. The special case of linear...

Abstract The reliability properties of beta-transformed random variables are discussed. A necessary and sufficient condition for a beta-transformed geometric random variable to follow a power series distribution is derived. It is shown that a beta-transformed member of the Katz family does not...

Abstract In this article we propose and study a new family of distributions which is defined by using the genesis of the truncated Poisson distribution and the exponentiated generalized-G distribution. Some mathematical properties of the new family including ordinary and incomplete moments,...

Abstract Control charts have been established as major tools for quality control and improvement in industry. Therefore, it is always required to consider an appropriate design of a control chart from an economical point of view before using the chart. The economic design of a control chart...

Abstract A double acceptance sampling plan (DASP) based on truncated life tests is suggested in this paper when the lifetime of a product follows the exponentiated generalized inverse Rayleigh distribution (EGIR). For a fixed value of the consumer’s confidence level, the minimum sample sizes...
