Induced Bilal Distribution: Statistical Properties with Applications to Model Precipitation and Vinyl Chloride Data

This paper proposes a new one parameter life distribution called induced Bilal distribution for modeling some real data. The main mathematical characteristics of this distribution are derived and discussed including the cumulative distribution and probability density functions, the moments, coeffi- cient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, mean and median deviations, Gini index, Lorenz curve, Bonferroni curve, Renyi entropy, stochastic ordering, and distribution of order statistics. Also, reliability analysis based on the odds function, survival function, reversed hazard rate function, hazard function, and the stress-strength reliability function are provided. Estimation of the model parameter is performed using the maximum likelihood method and a simulation study is supported to illustrate the estimator behav- iors. Using two real data sets related to the precipitation in Minneapolis and vinyl chloride, it is shown that the new distribution outperforms some well-known important existing competitors considered in this study.
