Abstract:
Since December 2019, the COVID-19 outbreak has touched every area of everyday life and caused immense destruction to the planet. More than 150 nations have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak. Many academics have attempted to create a statistical model that may be used to interpret the COVID-19 data. This article extends to probability theory by developing a unique two-parameter statistical distribution called the half-logistic inverse moment exponential (HLIMExp). Advanced mathematical characterizations of the suggested distribution have explicit formulations. The maximum likelihood estimation approach is used to provide estimates for unknown model parameters. A complete simulation study is carried out to evaluate the performance of these estimations. Three separate sets of COVID-19 data from Al Bahah, Al Madinah Al Munawarah, and Riyadh are utilized to test the HLIMExp model's applicability. The HLIMExp model is compared to several other well-known distributions. Using several analytical criteria, the results show that the HLIMExp distribution produces promising outcomes in terms of flexibility.
