In the financial world, the importance of "downside risk" and "higher moments" has been emphasized, predominantly in developing countries such as Pakistan, for a substantial period. Consequently, this study tests four models for a suitable capital asset pricing model. These models are CAPM's...

In this paper, we analysed the heavy-tailed behaviour in the dynamics of housing-price returns in the United States. We investigated the sources of heavy tails by estimating autoregressive models in which innovations can be subject to GARCH effects and/or non-Gaussianity. Using monthly data from...

We find that among stocks dominated by retail investors, the lottery anomaly is amplified by high investor attention (proxied by high analyst coverage, salient earnings surprises, or recency of extreme positive returns) and intense social interactions (proxied by Facebook social connectedness or...

Modelling lifetime data with simple mathematical representations and an ease in obtain ing the parameter estimate of survival models are crucial quests pursued by survival re searchers. In this paper, we derived and introduced a one-parameter distribution called the Agu-Eghwerido (AGUE)...

The exponentiated Gompertz (EGZ) distribution has been recently used in almost all areas of human endeavours, starting from modelling lifetime data to cancer treatment. Various applications and properties of the EGZ distribution are provided by Anis and De (2020). This paper explores the...

The paper focuses on type II Topp-Leone Frechet distribution. Its properties including hazard rate function, reverse hazard rate function, Mills ratio, quantile function and order statistics have been studied. The maximum likelihood estimation used for estimating the parameters of the proposed...

The Kies probability model was proposed as an alternative to the extended Weibull models as it provides a more efficient fit to some real-life data sets in comparison to the aforementioned models. The paper proposes classical and Bayesian inferences for the Kies distribution based on records....

The exponentiated Burr Type XII (EBXII) distribution has wide applications in reliability and economic studies. In this article, the estimation of the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of EBXII distribution is considered. We examine the maximum likelihood...

In this paper, we establish several recurrence relations between single and product moments of progressively Type-II right censored order statistics from the power Lomax distribution. The relations enable the computation of all the single and product moments of progressively Type-II right...
