A Novel Adaptable Weibull Distribution and Its Applications
This work proposes a novel extension for a new extended Weibull distribution. Some statistical properties of the proposed distribution are studied including quantile, moments, skewness, and kurtosis. The hazard rate function of the new distribution has certain elastic qualities, allowing it to take increasing, upside-down bathtub, and modified upside-down bathtub shapes commonly observed in medical contexts. Different methods of estimation are studied using complete data. Two real data sets from the medical field are analyzed to demonstrate that the proposed model has adaptability in practice. In comparison to some well-known distributions, the suggested distribution fits the tested data better based on both parametric and non-parametric statistical criteria. A simulation study is presented to compare the obtained estimates based on mean square error and average absolute bias.
