Abstract A model selection method was proposed to determine the most appropriate model among growth curve models that have the same number of parameters. It uses a measure of mean relative squared error and regression equations from difference equations for growth curve models. The difference equations have exact solutions that are on exact solutions of differential equations as growth curve models. The regression equations from the difference equations perfectly reproduce their parameter estimates. The proposed method selects an appropriate model when data are on an exact solution of a differential equation. It was verified to be practical with six actual datasets when the Gompertz curve and logistic curve models, which are often used for forecasting, were alternative growth curve models.

Abstract In this article, we have derived a new distribution named as Rayleigh–Rayleigh distribution (RRD) motivated by the transformed transformer technique by Alzaatreh, Lee, and Famoye (2013). The statistical properties of RRD, comprising of explicit expressions for quantile function, moments, moment generating function, mean deviation, skewness, kurtosis, reliability measures, measures of uncertainty, distributions of order statistics and L moments have been derived. Parameter estimation is carried out using method of maximum-likelihood estimation and Fisher information matrix is derived. The flexibility of the new distribution is assessed by applying it to four real data sets. The comparative behavior of RRD with Rayleigh distribution, Generalized Rayleigh distribution, Exponentiated Rayleigh distribution, Weibull Rayleigh distribution and Alpha Power Rayleigh distribution provided the evidence that it outperforms the other competing distributions.

Abstract The aim of the present paper is to introduce a new family of measures of noncompactness on the Fréchet space LPloc(ℝN) (1 ≤ p < ∞). Further, we prove a fixed point theorem on the family of measures of noncompactness in LPloc(ℝN). As an application, we investigate the existence of entire solutions for some classes of nonlinear functional integral equations of convolution type associated with the new family of measures of noncompactness. Finally, we give an illustrative example to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our results.

Abstract In this paper, a new compound continuous distribution named the Gompertz Fréchet distribution which extends the Frèchet distribution was developed. Its various statistical properties were also derived and estimation of model parameters was considered using the maximum likelihood estimation method. The application of the Gompertz Fréchet distribution was provided using real-life data sets and its performance was compared with Gompertz Weibull distribution, Gompertz Lomax distribution and Gompertz Burr XII distribution.

Abstract The four-parameter Generalized Lambda distribution (GLD) can be used to approximate many probability distributions. We present a simple and efficient two-stage process for finding optimal GLD parameters to approximate a specified distribution. The probability density quantile function is first used to find the best GLD shape parameters. Given those shape parameters, it is then straightforward to find the best location and scale parameters. We highlight the excellent performance of our approach with comparisons to two existing and popular methods for a wide choice of distributions. Finally, we show that this is method can be used with other distributions by providing applications also to the Generalized Beta distribution.

Abstract The work is devoted to the study of the solvability of an inverse boundary value problem with an unknown time-dependent coefficient for the linearized Benney–Luke equation with non-conjugate boundary conditions and integral conditions. The goal of the paper consists of the determination of the unknown coefficient together with the solution. The problem is considered in a rectangular domain. The definition of the classical solution of the problem is given. First, the given problem is reduced to an equivalent problem in a certain sense. Then, using the Fourier method the equivalent problem is reduced to solving the system of integral equations. Thus, the solution of an auxiliary inverse boundary value problem reduces to a system of three nonlinear integro-differential equations for unknown functions. Concrete Banach space is constructed. Further, in the ball from the constructed Banach space by the contraction mapping principle, the solvability of the system of nonlinear integro-differential equations is proved. This solution is also a unique solution to the equivalent problem. Finally, by equivalence, the theorem of existence and uniqueness of a classical solution to the given problem is proved.

Abstract Data collection in life table experiments is generally time-consuming and costly such that data reconstruction of published information provides an avenue to access the original data for purposes of further investigation. In this paper, we present an algorithm that reconstructs life table raw data using a summary of results from published articles. We present the steps of the development and implementation (in the R computer language) of the algorithm, its scope of application, assumptions, and limitations. Statistical background of the algorithm is also presented. The developed algorithm was then applied to reconstruction of life table data of two insect species, Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca, from published information. Welch’s two-sample t-test was applied to test the difference between the original and reconstructed data of the insect life stages. C. Partellus results were not significantly different, but, for B. fusca, pupa development time, and larva and pupa development rate were significantly different at the 95% confidence level. It is concluded that the algorithm could be used to reconstruct original data sets from cohort life table data sets of insects, given published information and sample sizes.

Abstract In this research work, convexity condition is introduced to some classes of contraction mappings such as Chatterjea and Hardy and Rogers contractive mappings. The fixed points of these maps are proved in complete metric spaces. Example is equally provided to support the main result. The unique solution of nonlinear Fredholm integral equation is obtained via the Hardy and Rogers convex contraction mappings of type 2. The results obtained in this paper, extend and generalize some related works in the literature.
