A novel re-parametrization of the weighted Lindley distribution is introduced to develop a regression model suitable for skewed dependent variables defined on [Formula: see text]. This new model is called the WL2 regression model. It is shown to outperform existing models such as the gamma, extended gamma, and Maxwell-Boltzmann-exponential regression models. Parameter estimation is performed using the maximum likelihood estimation technique, and the efficiency of these estimates is assessed through a simulation study. An application to a house price data set is presented to highlight the importance of the WL2 regression model. In addition, we propose the WLreg software, accessible via https://bartinuni.shinyapps.io/WLreg, to facilitate the application of the new regression model for practitioners in the field.
引入了加权林德利分布的一种新的重新参数化方法,以开发一种适用于定义在[公式:见文本]上的偏态因变量的回归模型。这个新模型被称为WL2回归模型。结果表明,它优于现有的模型,如伽马、扩展伽马和麦克斯韦 - 玻尔兹曼 - 指数回归模型。使用最大似然估计技术进行参数估计,并通过模拟研究评估这些估计的效率。给出了一个房价数据集的应用,以突出WL2回归模型的重要性。此外,我们提出了WLreg软件,可通过https://bartinuni.shinyapps.io/WLreg访问,以方便该领域的从业者应用新的回归模型。
