ABSTRACT

In this work, the authors proposed a four parameter potentiated lifetime model named as Transmuted Exponentiated Moment Pareto (TEMP) distribution and discussed numerous characteristic measures of proposed model. Parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and performance of these estimates is also assessed by simulations study. Four suitable lifetime datasets are modeled by the TEMP distribution and the results support that the proposed model provides much better results as compared to its sub-models.

1. Introduction

An Italian Economist and civil engineer, Pareto (1848-1923) introduced the Power law. This law is also known as Pareto Power law and shortly turned into Pareto distribution. Unequal distribution of wealth in society was major cause to establish the Power law. 80% wealth of the population is distributed in 20% population. Thus it is also known as 80 - 20 rule and is stated as N = γx−k where N is the number of individuals with income higher than x for k > 0. Under social constraints of taxation and other conditions this law is proved to be inevitable and universal. Many empirical phenomena are explained by Pareto distribution. Flexibility of Pareto distribution attracted the researchers to develop models by mixing Pareto distribution with other distributions.

Alzaatreh et al. [1] developed Gamma Pareto distribution. Bourguignon et al. [2] introduced the modified form of Pareto distribution presented as “The Kumaraswamy-Pareto distribution”. Nasiru and Luguterah [3] worked on “The New Weibull-Pareto distribution”. Shafiq [4] derived the classical and Bayesian approach on fuzzy observations to draw inference for Pareto distribution and also discussed its characterization and reliability behavior. Exponentiated generalized (EG) class is used by Andrade and Zea [5] to extend the Pareto distribution. Numerous mathematical properties are developed and discussed as well as two real time data sets are modeled by it.

Moment probability distribution or weighted distribution is introduced by Fisher [6] in the context of unequal probability sampling. Mir and Ahmad [7] developed some size biased discrete distributions and also discussed their generalized cases. Dara [8] developed the weighted form of various life time distributions including special cases of size biased distributions with their reliability analysis. Weighted Weibull distribution is size-biased (SWWD) by Perveen and Ahmad [9] . They discussed various characteristic measures and three life data sets are modeled by SWWD.

Exponentiated CDF of a probability distribution is expressed as Exponentiated Distribution (ED). Gompertz [10] used ED to compare the growth model of the population versus table of human mortality. Hasnain and Ahmad [11] proposed and developed the exponentiated moment form of exponential distribution (EME) and discussed its various properties. Fatima and Roohi [12] developed a transmuted form of exponentiated Pareto-I distribution and discussed the increasing and decreasing behavior of hazard rate as well as derived some of its properties. Mansour et al. constructed the Kumaraswamy form of exponentiated Frechet distribution (Kw-EFr) and 27 special cases are developed. Different mathematical properties and real time dataset are modeled by Kw-EFr.

Shaw and Buckley [13] developed Quadratic Rank Transmutation Map (QRTM) to discover new family of non-Gaussian distributions. Let G(x) and g(x) are CDF and PDF of base distribution. Proposed QRTM distribution is

(1.1)

(1.2)

where F(x) and f(x) are the CDF and PDF of the corresponding QRTM.

Merovci and Puka [14] proposed the transmuted form of Pareto distribution and discussed various properties along with its reliability behavior. Saboor et al. [15] derived and studied the various structural properties and reliability measures of the transmuted form of exponential-Weibull distribution (TEW). Khan et al. [16] discussed the shape and hazard function of transmuted Kumaraswamy distribution (TK-w) and derived some of its properties. Various properties are discussed in Size-Biased version of Exponential distribution that is transmuted by Hussain et al. [17] .

The authors divided the structure of the article into several sections as follows: Section 2 describes the CDF, PDF and special cases of proposed distribution. In Section 3 and 4, various reliability measures, moments and order statistics are discussed. Quantile function, different descriptive statistics and Rényi entropy are discussed in Section 5. Simulations study is conducted to observe the behavior of MLE estimates in Section 6 while parameters of TEMP distribution are derived by the method of MLE along with two life time data sets are modeled in Section 7. Final conclusion is reported in Section 8.

2. Proposed Distribution

We introduce a four parameter distribution named as Transmuted Exponentiated Moment Pareto distribution (TEMP distribution) with CDF as

(2.1)

and PDF

(2.2)

where α and k are positive shape parameters and | λ | < 1 is transmuted parameter of TEMP distribution.

Figure 1 is density plot of TEMP distribution. It is plotted for various combinations of parameters α and λ for fixed k.

Cumulative distribution function plot of TEMP distribution at different combinations of parameters α and λ for fixed k are given in Figure 2.

Figure 1. Probability density function plot of TEMP distribution.

Figure 2. Cumulative distribution function plot of TEMP distribution.

Some Special Cases

1) For λ = 0, α = 1, and k − 1 = β, the resulting distribution reduces to Pareto distribution.

2) For λ = 0, α = 1, the resulting distribution is Moment Pareto distribution discussed by Dara (8).

3) For k − 1 = β, α = 1, the distribution reduces to Transmuted Pareto distribution and was developed by Merovci and Puka [14] .

TEMP distribution is developed on the basis that it provides more flexible results on highly right skewed datasets. Flexibility of TEMP distribution is assessed by comparing TEMP distribution with Pareto distribution and its related sub model (Transmuted Pareto distribution).

The hazard function of TEMP distribution (Figure 4) for various combinations of parameters for fixed k indicates the increasing trend at initial phase. Longer tail to right shows the decreasing behavior of TEMP distribution.

3.3. Cumulative Hazard Function of TEMP Distribution

Summing up the hazard function from 0 to time (t) is considered as cumulative hazard function. It is denoted by H(t). Only continuous distributions are discussed under it. It is used to measure the overall number of failures that are added up to time t.

Cumulative hazard function is defined as

H ( x ) = ln ( S (x))

for TEMP distribution it is described as

H ( x ) = ln ( 1 ( 1 + λ ) [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] α + λ [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] 2 α ) . (3.3)

The cumulative hazard function of TEMP distribution (Figure 5) indicates

R n ( w ) = 1 F ( w ) t = 0 n ( n t ) ( 1 ) t w n t γ x t f ( x ) d x

(4.13)

(4.13.1)

where A r = r 1 k , B ( γ w ) k 1 ( a , b ) = Betafunction and C r = γ r .

4.15. Order Statistic of TEMP Distribution

Reliability of a system is tested by order statistic. The random sample provides important information like smallest value to largest value. To maintain the highest temperature of a medicine or lowest temperature of areas are the examples studied by order statistic to overcome the crisis or disasters in case of emergency.

Let X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , , X m be a random sample follows to TEMP distribution and be its arranged form where X(1) and X(k) represent the smallest and k-th smallest value follows to { X ( 1 ) , X ( 2 ) , X ( 3 ) , , X ( m ) } respectively. The r.v.s X ( 1 ) , X ( 2 ) , X ( 3 ) , , X ( m ) are called order statistic.

Order statistic for pdf of X(i) is defined as

E = ( 1 ) j + l + p ( i 1 j ) ( m i l ) ( l p ) ( 1 + λ ) l p j λ j + p .

5. Quantile Function and Descriptive Statistics of TEMP Distribution

Statistical significance is assessed by the quantile function of the observations for known distribution. It is defined by inverting the CDF under consideration. When information about the data set is quantitatively reviewed or analyzed by the summary statistics, it is called descriptive statistics.

5.1. Quantile Function of TEMP Distribution

The qth quantile function of TEMP distribution is

(5.1)

Median of a distribution is x q for q = 0.5. For TEMP distribution we put q = 0.5 in Equation (5.1), we get

(5.2)

To generate random numbers, we suppose that CDF of TEMP distribution follows uniform distribution u = U (0, 1).

Random numbers of TEMP distribution is calculated by

(5.3)

Coefficient of variation is defined as the quotient of standard deviation (SD) to mean.

CV = SD Mean

Coefficient of variation of TEMP distribution is

(5.4)

where A r = r 1 k , B ( a , b ) = Betafunction and C r = γ r .

From Equation (3.4.1) set r = 1 , we get harmonic mean of TEMP distribution

H M = α γ [ ( 1 + λ ) B ( k k 1 , α ) 2 λ B ( k k 1 , 2 α ) ] . (5.5)

5.2. Entropy of TEMP Distribution

Degree of disorder or randomness in a system or our lack of information about it is defined as Entropy. In information theory, the Rényi entropy generalized Hartley entropy, Shannon entropy, Collision and min entropy. Entropies quantify the diversity, uncertainty or randomness of a system.

Rényi [19] entropy is defined as

I δ ( X ) = 1 δ 1 log 0 f δ ( x ) d x for δ > 0 and δ 1.

From Equation (2.2), the reduced form of Rényi entropy of TEMP distribution is given by

I δ ( X ) = 1 δ 1 log [ D i = 0 [ ( δ i ) ( 1 ) i A i B ( C + 1 , E ) ] ] . (5.7)

where A = 2 λ 1 + λ , B ( a , b ) = Betafunction , C = i α + δ ( α 1 ) , D = γ ( 1 δ ) k 1 [ α ( 1 + λ ) ( k 1 ) ] δ and E = 1 k ( δ + 1 ) k 1 .

5.3. Mixture Representation of TEMP Distribution (Figure 6)

The PDF of “n” mixture of TEMP distribution is followed by f ( x ) = i = 1 n p i f ( x ) , where i = 1 n p i = 1 and f i ( x ) for TEMP distribution from Equation (2.2) is

defined as

f i ( x ) = α i ( k i 1 ) γ k i 1 x k i [ 1 ( γ i x ) k i 1 ] α i 1 [ 1 + λ i 2 λ i { 1 ( γ i x ) k i 1 } α i ] .

For n = 2, mixture form of TEMP distribution is given by

f ( x ) = p 1 α 1 ( k 1 1 ) γ k 1 1 x k 1 [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 1 ] α 1 1 [ 1 + λ 1 2 λ 1 { 1 ( γ x ) k 1 1 } α 1 ] + p 2 α 2 ( k 2 1 ) γ k 2 1 x k 2 [ 1 ( γ x ) k 2 1 ] α 2 1 [ 1 + λ 2 2 λ 2 { 1 ( γ x ) k 2 1 } α 2 ] .

For n = 3, mixture form of TEMP distribution is given by

f ( x ) = p 1 α 1 ( k 1 1 ) γ k 1 1 x k 1 [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 1 ] α 1 1 [ 1 + λ 1 2 λ 1 { 1 ( γ x ) k 1 1 } α 1 ] + p 2 α 2 ( k 2 1 ) γ k 2 1 x k 2 [ 1 ( γ x ) k 2 1 ] α 2 1 [ 1 + λ 2 2 λ 2 { 1 ( γ x ) k 2 1 } α 2 ] + p 3 α 3 ( k 3 1 ) γ k 3 1 x k 3 [ 1 ( γ x ) k 3 1 ] α 3 1 [ 1 + λ 3 2 λ 3 { 1 ( γ x ) k 3 1 } α 3 ] . (5.8)

From Equation (4.1), r-th moment of mixture form of TEMP distribution is written as E ( X r ) = i = 1 n p i μ r

E ( X r ) = i = 1 n p i α C r [ ( 1 + λ ) B ( 1 + A r , α ) 2 λ B ( 1 + A r , 2 α ) ] (5.9)

where A r = r 1 k , B ( a , b ) = Betafunction and C r = γ r .

6. Simulation Study of TEMP Distribution

In order to assess the behavior of estimates derived by the method of MLE from TEMP distribution, a small scaled experiment is carried out based on simulations study. Performance of MLE is evaluated on the basis of mean square errors (MSEs). For this we generate size n = 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 samples from Equation (5.3) and results are achieved by 1000 simulations. Statistical software R is used to develop the empirical results.

Table 1 and Table 2 are representing consistent and efficient performance of the estimates produced by MLE and these estimates are quite close to the true parameter values for entire n. The decreasing behavior of mean square errors justify that the MLE works quite well for TEMP distribution (Table 3, Table 4).

7. Estimation of Parameters and Application of TEMP Distribution

Parameters of Transmuted Exponentiated Moment Pareto distribution are calculated using the method of MLE by incorporating R package (statistical software).

7.1. Estimation of Parameters of TEMP Distribution

Log likelihood function of TEMP distribution under Equation (2.2) is stated as

Table 1. MLE Estimates and Mean Square Errors (MSEs) in parenthesis are calculated at various sample sizes for k = 1.5, α = 0.5 and λ = −0.4 and parameter γ is minimum possible value of x.

Table 2. MLE Estimates and Mean Square Errors (MSEs) in parenthesis are calculated at various sample sizes for k = 2.5, α = 1.5 and λ = 0.1 and parameter γ is minimum possible value of x.

Table 3. Various results of Descriptive measures on simulated data generated by the Equation (5.3) at different samples sizes n = 25, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 for selected values of k = 1.5, α = 0.5 and λ = −0.4.

Table 4. Various results of descriptive measures on simulated data generated by the Equation (5.3) at different samples sizes n = 25, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 for selected values of for k = 2.5, α = 1.5 and λ = 0.1.

L L = n [ ( k 1 ) ln γ + ln α + ln ( k 1 ) ] k i = 1 n ln x i + ( α 1 ) i = 1 n ln [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] + i = 1 n ln [ ( 1 + λ ) 2 λ { 1 ( γ x ) k 1 } α ] . (7.1.1)

Partial derivatives of Equation (7.1.1) w.r.t the parameters k, α and λ are calculated and equating to zero we get.

k ( L L ) = n ln γ + n k 1 i = 1 n ln x i i = 1 n [ ( α 1 ) ( γ x ) k 1 ln ( γ x ) 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] + i = 1 n [ 2 α λ [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] α 1 [ ( γ x ) k 1 ln ( γ x ) ] ( 1 + λ ) 2 λ [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] α ] = 0 (7.1.2)

α ( L L ) = n α + i = 1 n ln [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] 2 λ i = 1 n [ [ 1 ( γ x ) ( k 1 ) ] α 1 ln [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] ( 1 + λ ) 2 λ [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] α ] = 0 (7.1.3)

λ ( L L ) = i = 1 n [ 1 2 [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] α 1 ( 1 + λ ) 2 λ [ 1 ( γ x ) k 1 ] α ] = 0. (7.1.4)

Since γ is the initial point of PDF, as a minimum possible value of sample is the estimate of γ. Solution of simultaneous Equations (7.1.2)-(7.1.4) gives us MLE estimates of TEMP distribution. We solve these non linear equations by using R package.

Fisher Information matrix K ( φ ) of order 3 × 3 is required for hypothesis test and interval estimation. K ( φ ) is described as

K ( φ ) = [ 2 L k 2 2 L k α 2 L α 2 2 L λ α 2 L λ k 2 L λ 2 ] . (7.1.5)

7.2. Application of TEMP Distribution
