Expanding the Nadarajah Haghighi Model: Copula, Censored and Uncensored Validation, Characterizations and Applications
A new three-parameter Nadarajah Haghighi model is introduced and studied. The new density has various shapes such as the right skewed, left skewed and symmetric and its corresponding hazard rate shapes can be increasing, decreasing, bathtub, upside down and constant. Characterization results are obtained based on two truncated moments and in terms of the hazard function. Validation via a modified chi-squared goodness-of-fit test is presented under the new model. A simple type Copula based construction is employed in deriving many bivariate and multivariate type distributions. The potentiality uncensored and censored real data sets. We constructed a modified Nikulin-Rao-Robson chi-square goodness-of-fit type test for the new model. This modi…ed chi-square test takes into account both unknown parameters and censorship. Validation in case of right censoring and all the elements constituting the test criteria. The censored aluminum reduction cells data is analyzed for validation

Remarks on the Papers by Coelho-Barros et al. (2017), Usman et al. (2021) and Obeid and Kadry (2022)
We would like to point out that the formula for the cumulative distribution given in Coelho-Barros et al. (2017) and a similar version of it given in Usman et al. (2021) are not cumulative distribution functions as these functions do not satisfy the one or more necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be a cumulative distribution function. We would also like to mention that formulas for the cumulative distribution functions of product and ratio of two independent Pareto and Exponential random variables given by Obeid and Kadry (2022) are not cumulative distribution functions either. We do not believe that these formulas can be fixed to be cumulative distribution functions. In this short article, we provide mathematical justification in support of these claims
A New Transmuted Weibull Distribution: Properties and Application
This paper proposes a new three parameter Weibull distribution obtained using a new Transmutation technique namely New Transmuted Weibull distribution. A comprehensive account of some of the mathematical properties of new model are derived. Entropy estimation and parameter estimation is also carried out using different methods. Finally, it will be shown that the analytical results are applicable to model real data
A novel four-parameter log-logistic model: mathematical properties and applications to breaking stress, survival times and leukemia data
In this paper, we introduce a new continuous log-logistic extension. Several of its properties are established. A numerical analysis for skewness and kurtosis is presented. The new failure rate can be "bathtub or U shaped", "increasing", "decreasing-constant", "J shaped", "constant" and "decreasing". Many bivariate and Multivariate type distributions are derived using the Clayton Copula and the Morgenstern family. To assess of the finite sample behavior of the estimators, we performed a graphical simulation. Some useful applications are considered for supporting the new model
Estimation of Multicomponent Stress-strength Reliability under Inverse Topp-Leone Distribution
In this article, the reliability inference for a multicomponent stress-strength (MSS) model, when both stress and strength random variables follow inverse Topp-Leone distributions, was studied. The maximum likelihood and uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimates for the reliability of MSS model were obtained explicitly. The exact Bayes estimate of MSS reliability was derived the under squared error loss function. Also, the Bayes estimate was obtained using the Monte Carlo Markov Chain method for comparison with the aforementioned exact estimate. The asymptotic confidence interval was determined under the expected Fisher information matrix. Furthermore, the highest probability density credible interval was established through using Gibbs sampling method. Monte Carlo simulations were implemented to compare the different proposed methods. Finally, a real life example was presented in support of the suggested procedures.  
Bayesian Inference of Triple Seasonal Autoregressive Models
In this paper we extend autoregressive models to fit time series that have three layers of seasonality, i.e. triple seasonal autoregressive (TSAR) models, and we introduce the Bayesian inference for these TSAR models. Assuming the TSAR model errors are normally distributed and employing three priors, i.e. Jeffreys', g, and normal-gamma priors, on the model parameters, we derive the marginal posterior distributions of the TSAR model parameters. In particular, we show that the marginal posterior distributions to be multivariate t and gamma distributions for the model coefficients and precision, respectively. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed Bayesian inference using simulation study, and we then apply it to real-world hourly electricity load time series datasets in six European countries
Mathematical Modeling of Age-Specific Fertility Rates of Nepali Mothers
In this paper, polynomial models have been formulated to describe the distribution pattern of age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs) and forward-cumulative ASFRs of Nepali mothers. The former follows the bi-quadratic polynomial and the latter follows the quadratic one. Velocity and elasticity equations of the fitted models have been formulated. The areas covered by the curves of the fitted models have been evaluated, and the area covered by the curve of ASFRs is equivalent to the total fertility rate (TFR). Furthermore, the mode of the fitted ASFRs has been estimated. To test the stability and validity of fitted models, cross validity prediction power, shrinkage of the model, F-test statistics and the coefficient of determination have been applied
Discrete Inverted Kumaraswamy Distribution: Properties and Estimation: DIKum Distribution:Properties and Estimation
In this paper, a discrete inverted Kumaraswamy distribution; which is a discrete version of the continuous inverted Kumaraswamy variable, is derived using the general approach of discretization of a continuous distribution. Some important distributional and reliability properties of the discrete inverted Kumaraswamy distribution are obtained. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches are applied to estimate the model parameters. A simulation study is carried out to illustrate the theoretical results. Finally, a real data set is applied
A New Lifetime Parametric Model for the Survival and Relief Times with Copulas and Properties
In this article, we introduce a new generalization of the Exponentiated Exponential distribution. Various structural mathematical properties are derived. Numerical analysis for mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis and the dispersion index are performed. The new density can be right skewed and symmetric with "unimodal" and "bimodal" shapes. The new hazard function can be "constant", "monotonically decreasing", " monotonically increasing", "increasing-constantâ€, “upside-down-constant", "decreasing-constant". Many bivariate and multivariate type model have been also derived. We assess the performance of the maximum likelihood method graphically via the biases and mean squared errors. The applicability of the new life distribution is illustrated by means of two real data sets
