Abstract
The quest by researchers in the area of distribution theory in proposing new models with greater
flexibility has filled literature. On this note, we proposed a new distribution called the new extended
generalized inverse exponential distribution with five positive parameters, which extends and generalizes
the extended generalized inverse exponential distribution. We derive some mathematical properties of the
proposed model including explicit expressions for the quantile function, moments, generating function,
survival, hazard rate, reversed hazard rate, cumulative hazard rate function and odds functions. The
method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameters of the distribution. We illustrate its
potentiality with applications to three real life data sets which show that the new extended generalized
inverse exponential model provides greater flexibility and better fit than other competing models
considered.
Keywords: Bio-medical analysis; carbon fibers; generalized inverse exponential; survival times; vinyl

1 Introduction
Researchers are in the quest of developing and proposing new models in the area of distribution theory by
generalizing the existing ones. The generalization is done by adding more parameters to improve the

flexibility. The literature is filled with such distributions that are very worthwhile in predicting and modeling
real life scenario. A number of classical distributions have been used comprehensively over the past decades
for modeling data in several applied areas including bio-medical analysis, reliability engineering, economics,
forecasting, astronomy, demography and insurance.
In generating new distributions, a number of methods have been proposed. A popular and most used method
is the use of family of distributions because it can be used to model a wide variety of random phenomena.
Usually the standard distributions will be mathematically simpler, and often other members of the family can
be constructed from the standard distributions by simple transformations on the underlying standard random
variable. Some recent families of distributions are: Kumaraswamy odd Burr G family of distributions by
Nasir et al. [1], the Marshal-Olkin Odd Lindley-G family of distributions by Jamal et al. [2], The
Exponentiated Kumaraswamy-G family of distributions by Silva et al. [3], the Topp Leone exponentiated G
family of distributions by Ibrahim et al. [4], The Topp Leone Kumaraswamy-G family of distributions by
Ibrahim et al. [5], Odd Chen-G family of distributions by Anzagra et al. [6], Modi family of continuous
probability distributions by Modi et al. [7].
Despite the usage of exponential distribution in Poisson processes, reliability engineering and its attractive
properties, the fact that the exponential distribution has a constant failure rate is a disadvantage because for
that singular reason, the distribution becomes unsuitable for modeling real life situations with bathtub and
inverted bathtub failure rates [8]. This is actually a serious short-coming of the exponential distribution.
Also, the memorylessness is rarely obtainable in real life phenomena. To overcome the limitations of
exponential distribution, Keller and Kamath [9] came up with a modified version of the exponential
distribution, this modification resulted into the inverse exponential distribution and it has also been studied
in details by Lin et al. [10].
Gupta and Kundu [11], generalized the exponential distribution by appending the shape parameter, and
named the distribution as the generalized exponential distribution. Generalized inverted exponential
distribution was first introduced by Abouammoh and Alshingiti [12]. This distribution originated from the
exponentiated Frechet distribution [13].
The generalized inverse exponential distribution provides many practical applications, including, in horse
racing, queue theory, modeling wind speeds. Ibrahim et al. [14] extended the generalize inverse exponential
distribution by adding one shape parameter to the distribution to make it more flexible in modeling real life
data. Oguntunde and Adejumo [15] have explored the statistical properties of the generalized inverted
generalized exponential distribution and its parameters were estimated at both censored and uncensored
cases using the method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Dey et al. [16] presents some estimation
and prediction of unknown parameters based on progressively censored generalized Inverted Exponential
data.

This paper aims to introduce a new extended version of the generalized inverse exponential distribution
called new extended generalized inverse exponential distribution using the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy-G
(TLK-G) family of distribution. The motivation in proposing this new model is to handle data sets that
exhibit skewness, (left-skewed and right-skewed), symmetric or reversed-J shape and to provide consistently
better fits than other competing distributions. The rest of the paper is outline as follows. In section 2, the new

extended generalized inverse exponential distribution is defined. Linear representation of the new model is
presented in section 3. Section 4 provides the statistical properties of the new model. In section 5, the
distribution of order statistics is presented. The maximum likelihood estimation is discussed in section 6.
Section 7 presented the application of the new model to real data sets. Finally, concluding remark is given in
section 8.

Since the above derived equations (36), (37), (38), (39) and (40) are in the complex form, therefore the exact
solution of ML estimator for unknown parameters is not possible. So it is convenient to use nonlinear
Newton Raphson algorithm for exact numerically solution to maximize the above likelihood function.

8 Conclusion
In this paper, a five parameter life time model called the new extended generalized inverse exponential
distribution which generalizes the extended generalized inverse exponential distribution has been studied.
This new model is capable of modeling different kinds of data with different shapes as shown in Fig. 1 and
2. We derived explicit expressions for some of its statistical and mathematical properties including the
moments, generating function, quantile function, survival function, hazard rate function, reversed hazard rate
function, cumulative hazard rate function and odds function. The minimum and maximum distributions of
order statistics of the new model were derived. The model parameters were estimated by using maximum
likelihood method based on complete sample. We observed from the analysis that the new extended
generalized inverse exponential distribution provides better fits than the competing distributions considered
on the three real life data sets based on the value of AIC and also from the histograms and the fitted plots of
the pdfs.

This paper introduces and thoroughly examines the Exponentiated Gompertz Inverse Rayleigh (EtGoIr) Distribution, a four-parameter extension of the Gompertz Inverse Rayleigh distribution. The primary focus is on its application to biomedical datasets, shedding light on its mathematical and statistical properties. Some properties of the distribution that were derived include the quantile function, median, moments, incomplete moments, Rényi entropy, and probability weighted moments. The model parameters were estimated using the method of maximum likelihood. A simulation study was conducted to investigate the consistency of the proposed model. The outcome of the investigation revealed that the model demonstrates consistency, as evidenced by the reduction in both root mean square error (RMSE) and bias as sample sizes increase. To showcase the practical relevance of the EtGoIr distribution, the paper applies the model to three distinct biomedical datasets. The results highlight its enhanced flexibility, demonstrating superior fit compared to its counterpart.

This paper focused on deriving a new lifetime distribution having five parameters by compounding the Gompertz inverse Rayleigh model and the Topp-Leone exponentiated-G family of distributions. The new model is called Topp-Leone exponentiated Gompertz inverse Rayleigh (TLEGoIRa) distribution. The new model is very flexible and the shape of its pdf can be positively or negatively skewed and symmetric. Some statistical characteristics of the new model, such as the moments, incomplete moments, quantile function, rényi entropy and order statistics are derived and investigated. The pdf of the minimum and maximum order statistics of the new model were derived and studied. The model's parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood approach. A simulation study was conducted to investigate the consistency of the newly proposed model, using the average bias and root mean square error (RMSE) as metrics. The outcome of the simulation suggested that as sample sizes increase, both the average bias and root mean square error (RMSE) decrease, indicating that the distribution is consistent. Finally, two real-life datasets were used to explore the new model's importance and adaptability in comparison to other competing models The results of the application revealed that the new distribution outperforms its competitors.

Objective: The aim of this study is to introduce and analyze the Topp-Leone Kumaraswamy Fréchet (TLKFr) distribution a new probability distribution model. This model extends the classical Fréchet distribution by introducing three additional positive shape parameters to enhance flexibility and robustness. Material and Methods: The novel distribution is based on the Topp-Leone Kumaraswamy generalized distribution family, incorporating three shape parameters. This foundation allows for the derivation of both the cumulative distribution function and probability density function for the new distribution. The study also extensively explores the mathematical properties of this distribution, including the survival, hazard, and quantile functions. Parameter estimation is conducted using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) technique. Results: The study introduces the TLKFr distribution, providing mathematical expressions for key statistical measures. Parameters were estimated using MLE technique. Plots illustrate the distribution's characteristics, showing positive skewness and reliable survival analysis predictions. Simulation analysis indicates decreasing bias and root mean square error (RMSE) with larger sample sizes, emphasizing reliability. Application to two real-life datasets, demonstrates the TLKFr distribution consistently outper-forming rival models, supported by goodness-of-fit statistics. Conclusion: The study introduces and analyzes the TLKFr distribution, enhancing the traditional Fréchet distribution with three additional shape parameters. Mathematical characteristics are explored, employing MLE for parameter estimation. A simulation study underscores the distribution's strong reliability, evident in decreasing bias and RMSE with increasing sample size. When tested with real data-sets, the TLKFr distribution outperforms alternative models, highlighting its significance in representing real-world phenomena and validating its applicability to the two datasets examined in this study.

In this paper, a new continuous probability distribution called a new exponentiated extended inverse exponential distribution with four parameters is introduced. The mathematical and statistical properties of the proposed distribution, such as the quantile function, moments, moment generating function, survival function, hazard function, odds function, and reversed hazard function, were studied to understand its nature. The probability density function of the order statistics for this distribution was also obtained. The parameters of the model were estimated using the maximum likelihood method of estimation. The proposed model was applied to two real datasets relating to the relief times of twenty patients receiving an analgesic and the sum of skin folds in 202 athletes collected at the Australian Institute of Sports. The results showed that the new model outperformed its comparators and provides better fit than Topp-Leone exponentiated inverse exponential, Topp-Leone inverse exponential, exponentiated inverse exponential, inverse exponential and exponential distributions.

This paper introduces a new four-parameter distribution called the exponentiated Gompertz generated inverted exponential (EGGIE) distribution. Explicit expressions of the structural properties such as the ordinary and incomplete moments, probability weighted moments, quantile function, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves, entropies, and order statistics are derived. The empirical findings indicate that the maximum likelihood procedure dominates the other estimators in the simulation study while the Cramer-Von Mises procedure dominates in the two real datasets applications. We demonstrate the superiority of the EGGIE distribution over the Gompertz Lomax, odd Fréchet Inverse exponential, generalized inverse exponential, generalized inverse exponential, exponential inverse exponential, and Gompertz Weibull distribution using the maximum likelihood procedure utilizing two real datasets applications. The findings show that the EGGIE distribution yields the best goodness of fit to the two datasets.

We propose a new three-parameter probability distribution called the Gompertz Inverse Rayleigh distribution with Inverse Rayleigh as the baseline distribution. The mathematical statistical properties and order statistics of the new distribution were also derived. Maximum likelihood estimation method and Bayesian estimation method are adopted for simulation in this work. Various characteristics and properties of the novel Gompertz Inverse Rayleigh (GoIR) distribution would be obtained such as survival, hazard rate, cumulative hazard, reversed hazard functions, limiting behaviour of its probability density and hazard rate functions. Quantile functions, median, moments and other properties would also be obtained. The shape of the distribution would be discussed via its skewness and kurtosis. Sufficient conditions for failure rate functions would be derived. A simulation study would be presented to check the performance of the proposed estimators. Finally, the application of the Gompertz Inverse Rayleigh distribution was demonstrated using a real life data and its performance was compared with other models. R programing was used to perform the analysis and plot the graphs.

The aim of this article is to define a new flexible statistical model to examine the COVID‐19 data sets that cannot be modeled by the inverse exponential distribution. A novel extended distribution with one scale and three shape parameters is proposed using the generalized alpha power family of distributions to derive the generalized alpha power exponentiated inverse exponential distribution. Some important statistical properties of the new distribution such as the survival function, hazard function, quantile function, rthrth r\mathrm{th} moment, Rényi entropy, and order statistics are all derived. The method of maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate the parameters of the new distribution. The performance of the estimators are assessed through Monte Carlo simulation, which shows that the maximum likelihood method works well in estimating the parameters. The GAPEIEx distribution was applied to COVID‐19 data sets in order to access the flexibility and adaptability of the distribution, and it happens to perform better than its submodels and other well‐known distributions.

In this paper, a novel three-parameter model called the extended odd Fréchet inverted exponential distribution is proposed. The density function can be expressed as a linear mixture of generalized inverse exponential densities and can be skewed to the right. Moreso, the hazard rate function of the novel model can be unimodal, increasing-decreasing and inverted bathtub shaped. Some reliability and statistical properties are derived and the maximum likelihood estimation technique described for the proposed novel model. The Monte Carlo simulations are performed to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator for both small and large sample, and the numerical results show that as the sample size increases, the mean estimates tend towards the parameters true values with minimum errors. The performance of the novel model is illustrated by means of two real-life datasets and both real-life datasets show that the novel model offers a better fit compared to some other competing models.

In this paper, we consider generalized inverted exponential distribution which is capable of modeling various shapes of failure rates and aging criteria. The purpose of this paper is two fold. Based on progressive type-II censored data, first we consider the problem of estimation of parameters under classical and Bayesian approaches. In this regard, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates, and Bayes estimates under squared error loss function. We also compute 95% asymptotic confidence interval and highest posterior density interval estimates under the respective approaches. Second, we consider the problem of prediction of future observations using maximum likelihood predictor, best unbiased predictor, conditional median predictor and Bayes predictor. The associated predictive interval estimates for the censored observations are computed as well. Finally, we analyze two real data sets and conduct a Monte Carlo simulation study to compare the performance of the various proposed estimators and predictors.

A new three parameter family of distributions called the Topp Leone - Kumaraswamy G family of distributions was introduced by using the idea of the T-X methodology. Some statistical properties of the new family were derived and studied. Two special models, that is, the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy exponential distribution and the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy log logistic distribution were investigated. Two real data sets were used to assess the flexibility of the models. The data analysis results suggest that the two sub-models performed better than their competitors.

We exhibit a general family of distributions named “Kumaraswamy odd Burr G family of distributions” with four additional parameters to generalize any existing baseline distribution. Some statistical properties of the family are derived, including rth moments, mth incomplete moments, moment generating function and entropies. The parameters of the family are estimated by the maximum likelihood (ML) method for complete samples as well as censored samples. Some sub-models of the family are considered and it is noted that their density functions can be symmetric, left-skewed, right-skewed, unimodal, bimodal and their hazard rate functions can be increasing, decreasing, bathtub, upsidedown bathtub and J-shaped. Simulation is carried out for one of the sub-models to check the asymptotic behavior of the ML estimates. Applications to reliability (complete and censored) data are carried out to check the usefulness of some sub-models of the family.
