Modified Bimodal Exponential Distribution with Applications

In this paper, we introduce a new distribution for modeling bimodal data supported on non-negative real numbers and particularly suited with an excess of very small values. This family of distributions is derived by multiplying the exponential distribution by a fourth-degree polynomial, resulting in...

Achoimre:In this paper, we introduce a new distribution for modeling bimodal data supported on non-negative real numbers and particularly suited with an excess of very small values. This family of distributions is derived by multiplying the exponential distribution by a fourth-degree polynomial, resulting in a model that better fits the shape of the second mode of the empirical distribution of the data. We study the general density of this new family of distributions, along with its properties, moments, and skewness and kurtosis coefficients. A simulation study is performed to estimate parameters by the maximum likelihood method. Additionally, we present two applications to real-world datasets, demonstrating that the new distribution provides a better fit than the bimodal exponential distribution.
