Abstract

Inverted distributions, also known as inverse distributions, are essential statistical models for analyzing real-life data in biomedical sciences, engineering, and other fields. In this paper, we use the odd beta prime-G family and the inverted Kumaraswamy distribution to introduce a new inverted distribution called the odd beta prime inverted Kumaraswamy. The new distribution exhibits right-skewed, J-shaped densities and features increasing-constant, concave-convex, and bathtub hazard functions. Some of its statistical properties are explored. The parameters are estimated via the maximum likelihood method. The empirical importance of the new model is proved through its application to COVID-19 mortality data from Italy. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms its competitors. We hope that this proposed distribution can be considered as a viable alternative to some well-established distributions for modeling real-life data across various application areas.
