The Exponential distribution is memoryless and has a constant failure rate which makes it unsuitable for real life problems. This paper introduces a new distribution powered by an exponential random variable which gives a more flexible model for modelling real-life data. This new...

This article proposed a new distribution referred to as the transmuted odd generalized exponential-exponential distribution (TOGEED) as an extension of the popular odd generalized exponential- exponential distribution by using the Quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM) proposed...

It is interesting to calculate the variance of the variance estimator of the Bernoulli distribution. Therefore, we compare the Bootstrap and Delta Method variances of the variance estimator of the Bernoulli distribution in this paper. Firstly, we provide the correct Bootstrap, De...

We propose a new generator of univariate continuous distributions with two extra parameters called the transmuted odd-Lindley generator which extends the odd Lindely-G family introduced by Gomes-Silva et al. [1]. Some mathematical properties of the new generator such as, the ordi...

In this paper, we first prove a theorem which gives considerably better bound for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1/2 than Gaussian tail inequality (or tail bound for normal density) and thus is a refinement of Gaussian tail inequality in this case. Next we present an interesting result which provides a...

A Generalised Euclidean Least Square Approximation (ELS) is derived in this paper. The Generalised Euclidean Least Square Approximation is derived by generalizing the interpolation of n arbitrary data set to approximate functions. Existence and uniqueness of the ELS schemes are s...
