A new [0,1] truncated exponential Rayleigh distribution ([0,1]-RTERD) offers a flexible statistical framework for constrained data. This model accurately represents lifespan and reliability data, outperforming traditional models.
Area of Science:
- Statistics
- Probability Theory
- Reliability Engineering
Background:
- Truncated distributions offer realistic and accurate representations of constrained data.
- They are fundamental in modern statistical modeling and the analysis of constrained data.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce the novel [0,1] truncated exponential Rayleigh distribution ([0,1]-RTERD).
- Present its statistical functions (CDF, PDF, survival, hazard) and mathematical properties.
- Evaluate its performance in modeling lifespan and reliability data.
Main Methods:
- Developed a two-parameter [0,1]-RTERD (scale and shape).
- Derived mathematical and statistical properties including median, moments, skewness, kurtosis, order statistics, MGF, Rényi entropy, and quantile function.
- Employed maximum likelihood estimation for parameter estimation.
Main Results:
- The [0,1]-RTERD demonstrated superior fit and precision compared to traditional models for lifespan and reliability data.
- Model validation was performed using actual datasets.
- Statistical information criteria were used for comparison with other continuous distributions.
Conclusions:
- The [0,1]-RTERD provides a robust framework for data constrained to the [0,1] interval.
- It offers flexibility in shape, center, and width due to normalization.
- The distribution's properties are reflected in key statistical measures like expected value and standard deviation.
