Abstract

We introduce a new distribution for modeling extreme events about frequency analysis called modified Burr IV (MBIV) distribution. We derive the MBIV distribution on the basis of the generalized Pearson differential equation. The proposed model turns out to be flexible: its density function can be symmetrical, right-skewed, left-skewed, J and bimodal shaped. Its hazard rate has shapes such as bathtub and modified bathtub, increasing, decreasing, and increasing-decreasing-increasing. To show the importance of the MBIV distribution, we establish various mathematical properties such as random number generator, sub-models, moments related properties, inequality measures, reliability measures, uncertainty measures and characterizations. We utilize the maximum likelihood estimation technique to estimate the model parameters. We assess the behavior of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the MBIV parameters via a simulation study. Five data sets related to frequency analysis are considered to elucidate the significance of the MBIV distribution. We show that the MBIV model is the best model to analyze data for hydrological events, motivating its high level of adaptability in the applied setting.
