Modeling Extreme Healthcare Costs Using the Neutrosophic Cauchy Distribution

Real data modelling of extreme events, such as rainfall, temperature, financial costs is very important in neutrosophic statistical methods. The Cauchy distribution is one of statistical models used for modelling such extreme events in natural processes. In cases of imprecise data which most often involve vague, incomplete and ambiguous information, standard statistical methods cannot fully describe the spectrum of uncertainty. In this study, we have considered a new Cauchy distribution under neutrosophic context to deal with uncertain data. The proposed neutrosophic Cauchy distribution (NCD) may analysis extreme events data involving incomplete observations. We provide basic mathematical characteristics and important statistical functions of the Cauchy model under neutrosophic framework. A complete procedure of random numbers generation using neutrosophic quantile function is discussed. The unknown parameters of the proposed are estimated using the maximum likelihood approach. Numerical results show that the proposed model adequately fits the data involving extreme and imprecise values. The performance and flexibility of the model are also supported by an application to a real data set.
