Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF WEIBULL PARAMETERS USING A RANDOMIZED NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE SEVERITY OF FIRE ACCIDENTSSoontorn Boonta, Anchalee Sattayatham, Pairote SattayathamIn this study, we applied Randomized Neighborhood Search (RNS) to estimate the Weibull parameters to determine the severity of fire accidents; the data were provided by the Thai Reinsurance Public Co., Ltd. We compared this technique with other frequently-used techniques: the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Method of Moments (MOM), the Least Squares Method (LSM) and the weighted least squares … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNegative Binomial-Lindley Distribution and Its ApplicationHossein Zamani, Noriszura IsmailProblem statement: The modeling of claims count is one of the most important topics in actuarial theory and practice. Many attempts were implemented in expanding the classes of mixed and compound distributions, especially in the distribution of exponential family, resulting in a better fit on count data. In some cases, it is proven that mixed distributions, in particular mixed Poisson … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Extension of the Burr Type XII DistributionMohamed K.A. RefaieIn this study, a new Burr XII distribution is defined and studied. Various structural mathematical properties of the proposed model are investigated. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. We assess the performance of the MLEs of the new distribution with respect to sample size n. The assessment was based on a simulation study. The new … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 3 Jan 2019 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Bivariate Exponentiated Modified Weibull DistributionAbdelfattah Mustafa, Mohamed A.W. MahmoudThe new modified Weibull distribution named exponentiated modified Weibull distribution introduced by many authors. In this study, we define and study a bivariate modified Weibull distribution. Some joint probability functions and conditional probability density function are obtained. Also, joint survival function is expressed in compact form. Several statistical properties of this distribution are discussed. In the area of stress-strength models, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2017 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Bivariate Distribution with Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate MarginalsAbdelfattah MustafaRecently, Sarhan (2009) introduced a new distribution named generalized quadratic hazard rate distribution. In this study, we define a bivariate Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate Distribution (BGQHRD). The joint cumulative distribution function and joint survival function are derived in compact forms. Several properties of BGQFRD have been discussed. The conditional probability density function, rth moments and joint and marginal moment generating … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Nov 2016 · 6,749 accessesView PDFCite
