Abstract

In this work, we presented the type I half logistic Burr-Weibull distribution, which is a unique continuous distribution. It offers several superior benefits in fitting various sorts of data. Estimates of the model parameters based on classical and nonclassical approaches are offered. Also, the Bayesian estimates of the model parameters were examined. The Bayesian estimate method employs the Monte Carlo Markov chain approach for the posterior function since the posterior function came from an uncertain distribution. The use of Monte Carlo simulation is to assess the parameters. We established the superiority of the proposed distribution by utilising real COVID-19 data from varied countries such as Saudi Arabia and Italy to highlight the relevance and flexibility of the provided technique. We proved our superiority using both real data.
