Statistical inferences based on exponentiated exponential model to assess novel corona virus (COVID-19) kerala patient data

Abstract

In this article, we use exponentiated exponential distribution as a suitable statistical lifetime model for novel corona virus (covid-19) Kerala patient data. The suitability of the model has been followed by different statistical tools like the value of logarithm of likelihood, Kolmogorov–Smirnov distance, Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion. Moreover, likelihood ratio test and empirical posterior probability analysis are performed to show its suitability. The maximumlikelihood and asymptotic confidence intervals for the parameters are derived from Fisher information matrix. We use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to generate samples from the posterior density function. Based on generated samples, we can compute the Bayes estimates of the unknown parameters and can also construct highest posterior density credible intervals. Further we discuss the Bayesian prediction for future observation based on the observed sample. The Gibbs sampling technique has been used for estimating the posterior predictive density and also for constructing predictive intervals of the order statistics from the future sample.
