Recently, a generator of dis-tributions called the Weibull-G class was proposed by Bourguignon et al. (2014). We propose a new three-parameter Weibull-Pareto distribution, which can produce the most important hazard rate shapes, namely constant, increasing, decreasing, bathtub and upsidedown-bathtub. Various structural properties of the new distribution are derived including explicit expressions for the mo-ments and incomplete moments, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, mean deviations, mean residual life, mean waiting time and generating and quantile functions. The Rényi and q entropies are also derived. We obtain the density function of the order statistics and their moments. The model pa-rameters are estimated by maximum likelihood and the observed information matrix is determined. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated by means of two real data sets on Wheaton river flood and bladder cancer. In the two applications, the ne...

We introduce a new family of continuous distributions generated from a logistic random variable called the logistic-X family. Its density function can be symmetrical, left-skewed, right-skewed and reversed-J shaped, and can have increasing, decreasing, bathtub and upside-down bathtub hazard rates shaped. Further, it can be expressed as a linear combination of exponentiated densities based on the same baseline distribution. We derive explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating functions, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, Shannon entropy and order statistics. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and the observed information matrix is determined. We also investigate the properties of one special model, the logistic-Fréchet distribution, and illustrate its importance by means of two applications to real data sets.

Various properties of the Gamma-Half-Cauchy distribution are studied in detail such as limiting behavior, moments, mean deviations and Shannon entropy. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and the observed information matrix is obtained. Two data sets are used to illustrate the applications of Gamma-Half-Cauchy distribution.
