ABSTRACT
The Truncated Cauchy Power Weibull-G class is presented as a new family of distributions. Unique models for this family are presented in this paper. The statistical aspects of the family are explored, including the expansion of the density function, moments, incomplete moments (IMOs), residual life and reversed residual life functions, and entropy. The maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian estimations are developed based on the Type-II censored sample. The properties of Bayes estimators of the parameters are studied under different loss functions (squared error loss function and LINEX loss function). To create Markov-chain Monte Carlo samples from the posterior density, the Metropolis–Hasting technique was used with posterior density. Using non-informative and informative priors, a full simulation technique was carried out. The maximum likelihood estimator was compared to the Bayesian estimators using Monte Carlo simulation. To compare the performances of the suggested estimators, a simulation study was carried out. Real-world data sets, such as strength measured in GPA for single carbon fibers and impregnated 1000-carbon fiber tows, maximum stress per cycle at 31,000 psi, and COVID-19 data were used to demonstrate the relevance and flexibility of the suggested method. The suggested models are then compared to comparable models such as the Marshall–Olkin alpha power exponential, the extended odd Weibull exponential, the Weibull–Rayleigh, the Weibull–Lomax, and the exponential Lomax distributions.
