The Harris-odd Burr type X-G family of distributions with applications
This note introduces the new Harris-odd Burr type X-G (Harris-OBX-G) family of distributions and thoroughly investigates its statistical properties. These encompass essential features such as the quantile function, moments, moment generating function, the distribution of order statistics, and the Rényi entropy. To estimate the model parameters, we employ the maximum likelihood estimation technique, and we assess the reliability of these estimates through simulation studies. Furthermore, the versatility and practicality of the Harris-OBX-G family of distributions are demonstrated through its application to analyse two distinct real-world datasets from diverse fields.
