The Generalized Odd Lomax Generated Family of Distributions with Applications

Abstract

Through this article, a new generated family of distributions under the name of "The generalized odd Lomax-G family" by adding three additional parameters to generalize any continuous baseline distribution is provided. For the generalized odd Lomax-G family main properties, stochastic orderings, entropy measures have been studied. Three special models have been discussed for the new family. By using the maximum likelihood method, The model parameters are estimated. Simulation is carried out for one of the sub-models to check the asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimates. We explained the efficiency of the new family by using four applications to the real world.
