A novel yet simple extension of the symmetric logistic distribution is proposed by introducing a skewness parameter. It is shown how the three parameters of the ensuing skew logistic distribution may be estimated using maximum likelihood.…
We define a four-parameter extended Rayleigh distribution, and obtain several mathematical properties including a stochastic representation. We construct a regression from the new distribution. The estimation is done by maximum likelihood.…
In this paper, we develop two fully parametric quantile regression models, based on power Johnson SB distribution Cancho et al. (2020), for modeling unit interval response at different quantiles. In particular, the conditional distribution…
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…
The classic censored regression model (tobit model) has been widely used in the economic literature. This model assumes normality for the error distribution and is not recommended for cases where positive skewness is present. Moreover, in…
Since its introduction, the skew-$t$ distribution has received much attention in the literature both for the study of theoretical properties and as a model for data fitting in empirical work. A major motivation for this interest is the high…
Motivated by the case fatality rate (CFR) of COVID-19, in this paper, we develop a fully parametric quantile regression model based on the generalized three-parameter beta (GB3) distribution. Beta regression models are primarily used to…
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, empirical data have revealed that large-scale health crises not only cause immediate disruptions in mortality dynamics but also have persistent effects that may last for several years. Existing…
The evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic has been accompanied by accumulating evidence on the underlying epidemiological parameters. Hence there is potential for models providing mid-term forecasts of the epidemic trajectory using such…
In this paper, we introduce a new four-parameter generalized version of the Gompertz model which is called Beta-Gompertz (BG) distribution. It includes some well-known lifetime distributions such as beta-exponential and generalized Gompertz…
We present an Extended Kalman Filter framework for system identification and control of a stochastic high-dimensional epidemic model. The scale and severity of the COVID-19 emergency have highlighted the need for accurate forecasts of the…
In this paper a new long-term survival distribution is proposed. The so called long term Fr\'echet distribution allows us to fit data where a part of the population is not susceptible to the event of interest. This model may be used, for…
Background: Recent work showed that the temporal growth of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) follows a sub-exponential power-law scaling whenever effective control interventions are in place. Taking this into consideration, we…
We consider generalized linear regression analysis with left-censored covariate due to the lower limit of detection. Complete case analysis by eliminating observations with values below limit of detection yields valid estimates for…
Probabilistic survival analysis models seek to estimate the distribution of the future occurrence (time) of an event given a set of covariates. In recent years, these models have preferred nonparametric specifications that avoid directly…
In this paper we have introduced a generalized version of alpha beta skew normal distribution in the same line of Sharafi et al. (2017) and investigated some of its basic properties. The extensions of the proposed distribution have also…
We propose two stochastic models for the Coronavirus pandemic. The statistical properties of the models, in particular the correlation functions and the probability density function, have duly been computed. Our models, which generalises a…
Bayesian adaptive designs have gained popularity in all phases of clinical trials with numerous new developments in the past few decades. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to establish evidence for the effectiveness of vaccines,…
This article analyzes the problem of estimating the time until an event occurs, also known as survival modeling. We observe through substantial experiments on large real-world datasets and use-cases that populations are largely…
In this paper, an alpha-beta-skew-logistic distribution is proposed following the same methodology as those of alpha-beta-skew-normal of Shafiei et al. (2016) and investigated some of its related distributional properties. Finally, the…
