The Exponential distribution is memoryless and has a constant failure rate which makes it unsuitable for real life problems. This paper introduces a new distribution powered by an exponential random variable which gives a more flexible model for modelling real-life data. This new...

It is interesting to calculate the variance of the variance estimator of the Bernoulli distribution. Therefore, we compare the Bootstrap and Delta Method variances of the variance estimator of the Bernoulli distribution in this paper. Firstly, we provide the correct Bootstrap, De...

We propose a new generator of univariate continuous distributions with two extra parameters called the transmuted odd-Lindley generator which extends the odd Lindely-G family introduced by Gomes-Silva et al. [1]. Some mathematical properties of the new generator such as, the ordi...

In this paper, we first prove a theorem which gives considerably better bound for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1/2 than Gaussian tail inequality (or tail bound for normal density) and thus is a refinement of Gaussian tail inequality in this case. Next we present an interesting result which provides a...

In this paper, a new lifetime model called Kumaraswamy exponentiated U-quadratic (KwEUq) distribution is proposed. Several mathematical and statistical properties are derived and studied such as the explicit form of the quantile function, moments, moment generating function, orde...

In the study of rotatable designs, the variance of the estimated response at a point is a function of the distance of that point from a particular origin. Group divisible Rotatable Designs have been evolved by imposing conditions on the levels of factors in a rotatable design. In...

Quantile regression is a statistical technique intended to estimate, and conduct inference about the conditional quantile functions. Just as the classical linear regression methods estimate model for the conditional mean function, quantile regression offers a mechanism for estima...

Goodness of fit test is a test that has attracted researchers’ interest over the decades. This study is on goodness of fit test for normal distribution only. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-St) and Pearson’s Chi-square (χ² test) goodness of fit test were used to determine the normality...

Responses collected from dependent clusters are affected by the dependence among clusters and it should be taken into account in modeling such responses. In this study, a new approach was evaluated to incorporate cluster dependence in generalized linear Poisson mixed models for c...
