A new two parameter Burr XII distribution: properties, copula, different estimation methods, and modeling acute bone cancer data

Abstract

We present a new two parameter Burr XII distribution. The new density can be right skewed with no peak, unimodal-right skewed, left skewed and symmetric. The new failure rate can be decreasing, unimodal and increasing. Properties related to the new model are derived. Simple type copula-based construction is presented for deriving some new bivariate and multivariate type distributions. The maximum likelihood estimation, Anderson Darling estimation, right tail Anderson Darling estimation and left tail Anderson Darling estimation methods are used to estimate the model parameters. A new data set is analyzed for comparing estimations methods and the competitive models.
