Abstract
|
his study proposes a new family of distributions based on the half logistic distribution. With
the new family, the baseline distributions gain flexibility through additional shape parameters.
The important statistical properties of the proposed family are derived. A new generalization of
the Weibull distribution is used to introduce a location-scale regression model for the censored
response variable. The utility of the introduced models is demonstrated in survival analysis and
estimationofthesystemreliability.Threedatasetsareanalyzed.Accordingtotheempiricalresults,
it is observed that the proposed family gives better results than other existing models.
