The development of an extended Weibull model with applications to medicine, industry and actuarial sciences

Abstract

AbstractThis paper delves into the theoretical and practical exploration of the complementary Bell Weibull (CBellW) model, which serves as an analogous counterpart to the complementary Poisson Weibull model. The study encompasses a comprehensive examination of various statistical properties of the CBellW model. Real data applications are carried out in three different fields, namely the medical, industrial and actuarial fields, to show the practical versatility of the CBellW model. For the medical data segment, the study utilizes four data sets, including information on daily confirmed COVID-19 cases and cancer data. Additionally, a Group Acceptance Sampling Plan (GASP) is designed by using the median as quality parameter. Furthermore, some actuarial risk measures for the CBellW model are obtained along with a numerical illustration of the Value at Risk and the Expected Shortfall. The research is substantiated by a comprehensive numerical analysis, model comparisons, and graphical illustrations that complement the theoretical foundation.
