Abstract
The preference of the proper distribution for modelling data is often a substantial concern to researchers and practitioners. For this reason, new statistical distributions or the generalizations of well-known distributions have been proposed for exible modeling. Weighted distributions are one of the generalization methods for these distributions. In this article, area biased beta, Rayleigh and log-normal distributions are introduced. Some main statistical properties, like probability density functions, cumulative distribution functions, moments and the estimation of the parameters of these distributions are obtained. Real data examples are used for illustration of these distributions.
