Convex Combination of Finite Mixture Probability Models: Properties and Application | Chapter 5 | Mathematics and Computer Science: Research Updates Vol. 6

 

In statistics, data is expressed as a frequency distribution function that displays the range of potential values for a variable together with its frequency. Not all real data sets can be well-fitted by standard probability distributions. Such type of data sets creates a necessity for developing a new class of flexible probability distributions. To efficiently model lifetime data, this study develops a novel continuous probability distribution by building a finite combination of the exponential and Rayleigh distributions. Compared to current mixing models, the new distribution exhibits better performance and increases flexibility. The important distributional features derived include the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and several statistical properties such as moments, incomplete moments, survival and hazard functions, mean residual life, stochastic ordering, order statistics, and stress strength reliability. To assess inequality and concentration, the Lorenz curve and Bonferroni index are also obtained. The maximum likelihood method is employed for parameterm estimation. An empirical study using real data further demonstrates the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model.
