Abstract

In our paper, we introduce a novel extension of the Lomax distribution, aiming to enhance its applicability in various contexts. We emphasize a pragmatic approach in deriving mathematical properties of the new distribution, prioritizing its practical implications. Three distinct methods for characterizing the distribution are thoroughly discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding. The parameters of this newly proposed distribution are estimated through a diverse set of classical methodologies as well as Bayes’ method. Additionally, we develop the censored case maximum likelihood method to address scenarios where data may be incomplete. We meticulously compare the efficacy of likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation using Pitman’s proximity criterion, thereby offering insights into their relative performance. For Bayesian estimation, we employ three distinct loss functions: the generalized quadratic, the Linex, and the entropy functions, each offering unique perspectives on the estimation process. Through extensive simulation experiments, we meticulously evaluate the performance of all estimation methods under various conditions, providing valuable insights into their practical utility. Furthermore, we conduct a comparative analysis between the Bayesian technique and the censored maximum likelihood method using the BB algorithm, facilitating a nuanced understanding of their respective strengths and weaknesses. In addition to estimation methodologies, we delve into the construction of the Nikulin-Rao-Robson statistic for the new model under both uncensored and censored cases. Detailed simulation studies and the presentation of two real-world applications elucidate the practical significance of our proposed statistics in diverse scenarios. Overall, our paper not only introduces a novel extension of the Lomax distribution but also provides a comprehensive exploration of various estimation techniques and statistical measures, underpinning its practical relevance across different domains.
