Topp-Leone Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution
Abstract
In this paper, a three parameter model which can be used in modeling survival data, reliability problems and fatigue life studies has been studied. We derived explicit expressions for some of its statistical and mathematical identifying properties such as ordinary moments, generating function, incomplete moments and order statistics. The maximum likelihood estimations of model parameters were also obtained -being based on complete sample. We assessed the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators in terms of standard deviations, bias and mean squared errors by means of a simulation study. The usefulness of the model was illustrated by using a real data set. The proposed distribution provides better fits than some well-known generalized distributions under the same criteria of comparison.
