Abstract
In this study, a size-biased version of the Sujatha distribution was proposed to model flood data. The descriptive statistical properties based on moments and the reliability properties of the distribution are discussed in detail along with their derivation and graphical presentation. An interesting feature of the proposed distribution is that it is a member of the exponential family of distributions. A sequential probability ratio test was performed using the proposed distribution. There has been discussion of parameter estimation utilizing the moment, maximum likelihood, maximum product spacing, least squares, weighted least squares, and Cramer-Von Mises estimation methods. The confidence interval of the parameter of the distribution was obtained and shown graphically. A simulation study was conducted to determine the consistency of the estimator using different estimation methods has been done. To demonstrate the application of the distribution, we presented its goodness-of-fit by comparing it with that of the size-biased exponential and Lindley distributions. The results indicate that the proposed distribution provides the best fit among size-biased distributions. This study makes a significant contribution to the field by introducing a novel distribution model specifically designed for flood data. It offers an in-depth statistical analysis, explores various methods for estimating distribution parameters, and validates its practical use through simulations and goodness-of-fit assessments. The findings underscore the benefits of employing this new size-biased Sujatha distribution for modeling flood events and potentially other datasets in which size bias plays a crucial role.
