MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS OF MINIMUM GUMBEL BURR DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

This paper presents the details of a proposed continuous model for the minimum Gumbel Burr distribution which is based on four different parameters. The model is obtained by compounding the Gumbel type-II and Burr-XII distributions. Basic mathematical properties of the new distribution were studied including the quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, moment generating function, order statistics, Rényi entropy, stress-strength model and stochastic ordering. The parameters of the proposed distribution are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. A Monte Carlo simulation was presented to examine the behaviour of the parameter estimates. The flexibility of the proposed model was assessed by means of three applications.
