摘要

A modern family of distributions, called log-cosine power-generated (LCP-G) family, is formulated in this study. The cumulative distribution function (cdf) and the probability density function (pdf) are uniquely derived. The Taylor series expansion is used to extend this pdf, which facilitates obtaining important statistical properties. The new family is used to generate the LCP-Weibull (LCPW) distribution as a further appendage to the Weibull distribution. Eleven techniques are used to estimate the parameters of the LCPW distribution to determine which estimation technique is the most efficient. Monte Carlo simulation experiments are also carried out to compare the performance of these techniques. The suitability of the LCPW distribution for analyzing data sets is demonstrated, and the metrics for comparison persistently select the LCPW distribution over other candidate models. The results confirm that the LCPW distribution is suitable for analyzing data generated from different domains.
