Secant Kumaraswamy Family of Distributions: Properties, Regression Model, and Applications

In this study, Secant Kumaraswamy family of distributions is proposed and studied. This is motivated by the fact that no one distribution can model all types of data from different fields. Therefore, there is the need to develop distributions with desirable properties and flexible enough for modelli...

description In this study, Secant Kumaraswamy family of distributions is proposed and studied. This is motivated by the fact that no one distribution can model all types of data from different fields. Therefore, there is the need to develop distributions with desirable properties and flexible enough for modelling data exhibiting different characteristics. Some properties of the new family of distributions, including the quantile function, moments, moment generating function, and mean residual life function, are derived. Five special cases of the family of distributions are presented, and their flexibility is shown by the varying degrees of skewness and kurtosis and nonmonotonic hazard rates. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to obtain estimators of the family of distributions. Two location-scale regression models are developed for the Secant Kumaraswamy Weibull distribution, which is a special case of the family of distributions. Six different real datasets are used to demonstrate the usefulness of the family of distributions and the regression models. The results show that the family of distributions can be used to model real datasets.
