Abstract
The generalized Marshall-Olkin Lomax distribution is introduced, and its properties are easily obtained from those of the Lomax distribution. A regression model for censored data is proposed. The parameters are estimated through maximum likelihood, and consistency is verified by simulations. Three real datasets are selected to illustrate the superiority of the new models compared to those from two well-known classes.
