Parameter Estimation for Inverted Exponentiated Lomax Distribution with Right Censored Data

Abstract

A new three-parameter lifetime model, called the inverted exponentiated Lomax (IEL) distribution is proposed. The IEL distribution is the inverse form of the exponentiated Lomax distribution. Some properties of the IEL distribution are derived. The maximum likelihood and the asymptotic confidence interval estimators are obtained in presence of Type I censored samples. Two real data sets are used to illustrate the usefulness and flexibility of the IEL distribution compared with some known distributions. 

Parameter Estimation for Inverted Exponentiated Lomax Distribution with Right Censored Data

Abstract

A new three-parameter lifetime model, called the inverted exponentiated Lomax (IEL) distribution is proposed. The IEL distribution is the inverse form of the exponentiated Lomax distribution. Some properties of the IEL distribution are established. The maximum likelihood and the asymptotic confidence interval estimators are obtained in presence of Type I censored samples. Two real data sets are employed to clarify the usefulness and flexibility of the IEL model with some known distributions.
