A Log-Beta Rayleigh Lomax Regression Model

Afrika Statistika, 2021
For the first time, a location-scale regression model based on the logarithm of an extended Raleigh Lomax distribution which has the ability to deal and model of any survival data than classical regression model is introduced. We obtain the estimate for the model parameters using the method of maximum likelihood by considering breast cancer data.
