Modeling Financial Uncertainty Using Neutrosophic Ram Awadh Distribution: An Application to Future Economic Growth
View PDF Abstract
Ram Awadh (RA) distribution is flexible to handle skewedness and heavy tailed observations, which are frequent in financial risk management. With flexible structure, it has potential to be a reliable model in financial data modeling and decision-making process in the scenarios of indeterminacy. The new one parameter lifetime distribution is proposed and called as the neutrosophic RA distribution ( ) in this article. We obtain the raw and central moments of it and investigate some important statistical properties such as the coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis and index of dispersion. Moreover, some reliability properties such as the hazard rate function mean residual life function, and stochastic orderings of the distribution are considered. The method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is utilized for parameter estimation. A comprehensive simulation study is carried out to evaluate the behavior of the distribution and its statistical properties. Finally, a real-world dataset of economic sector is utilized to illustrate its practical importance.
