A New Lifetime Distribution: Exponentiated Exponential-Pareto-HalfNormal Mixture Model for Biomedical Applications
This study introduces the Exponentiated-Exponential-Pareto-Half Normal Mixture Distribution (EEPHND), a novel hybrid model developed to overcome the limitations of classical distributions in modeling complex real-world data. By compounding the Exponentiated-Exponential-Pareto (EEP) and Half-Normal distributions through a mixture mechanism, EEPHND effectively captures both early-time symmetry and long-tail behavior, features which are commonly observed in survival and reliability data. The model…
