A generating family of unit-Garima distribution: Properties, likelihood inference, and application

This article proposes the unit Garima (UGa) distribution for analysing proportion data. Some statistical properties of the UGa distribution are investigated, including survival and hazard functions, order statistics, quantile function, and stress-strength reliability measure. Next, a new family of continuous distributions, called the unit Garima-generated (UGa-G) family of distributions, is studied. The UGa-G family of distributions has the feature to use the UGa distribution as the main generator and the concept of the T-X family of distributions. Some UGa-G family sub-models are provided, such as the UGa-Beta, UGa-Weibull, and UGa-normal distributions. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters for the statistical aspect. A Monte Carlo simulation for the percentile bootstrap confidence intervals for each parameter of the proposed distributions is provided. Applications to eight practical data sets are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed distributions.
