Parameter estimation of some Kumaraswamy-G type distributions

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

Since Kum-G distributions have additional two parameters, the estimation of parameters becomes an interesting problem by itself. In this study, we consider parameter estimation of Kum-Weibull, Kum-Pareto and Kum-Power distributions by using the maximum likelihood and the maximum spacing methods. These three distributions are important in reliability and other applications. The Kum-Pareto and Kum-Power distributions have parameter-dependent boundaries, which makes the estimation of parameters more interesting. We performed simulations for each of these considered distributions by using the R software for estimating parameters using the maximum likelihood and the maximum spacing method. In addition, an application of these distribution families to real data for modeling wind speed in a particular location in Turkey is discussed.
