The novel statistical distribution can be derived via the log transformation approach with an additional exponent parameter, defining the Transformed Log Maxwell (TLMax) distribution. The numerical investigation reveals that the developed TLMax distribution can effectively fit negative and positive data sets. A data set containing failure times for Kevlar 49/epoxy at a pressure of approximately 90% was employed to compare the proposed model against the traditional Maxwell model, and the results obtained indicated that the novel distribution outperformed the comparator. Finally, for the prediction of failure times in the dataset, we employed a machine learning model, including support vector regression (SVR), K-nearest neighbors' regression (KNN).MathematicsMachine Learning Models in Predicting Failure Times Data Using a Novel Version of the Maxwell ModelArticleSCOPUS10.28924/ada/stat.5.12-s2.0-8521903458028060954
