ABSTRACT
The techniques to find appropriate new models for data sets are very popular nowadays among the researchers of this area where existed models in the literature are not suitable. In this paper, a new distribution, generalized inverted Kumaraswamy (GIKum) distribution is introduced. The main aims of this research are to develop a general form of inverted Kumaraswamy (IKum) distribution which is flexible than the IKum distribution and all of its related and sub models. Some properties of GIKum distribution such as measures of central tendency and dispersion, models of stress-strength, limiting distributions, characterization of GIKum distribution and related probability distributions through some specific transformations are derived. The mathematical expressions of reliability function (r.f) and the hazard rate function (hrf) of the GIKum distribution are found and presented through their graphs. The parameters estimation through the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method is used and the results are applied to the data set of prices of wooden toys of 31 children.

1. Introduction
In the past years, several ways of generating inverted distributions from classic ones were developed and discussed. Calabria and Pulcini [1] defined the inverse Weibull distribution. AL-Dayian [2] introduced a family of distributions that arises naturally from the inverted Burr type XII distribution. Abed El-Kader et al. [3] proposed the inverted Pareto type I distribution and introduced some properties of this class of distributions.
A number of researchers studied the inverted distributions and its applications; for example, Prakash [4] studied the inverted exponential model and Aljuaid [5] presented exponentiated inverted Weibull distribution. The inverted distributions are important in problems related to econometrics, engineering sciences, life testing, financial literature and environmental studies.
Kumaraswamy [6] obtained a distribution, which is derived from beta distribution after fixing some parameters in beta distribution. But it has a closed-form cumulative distribution function which is invertible and for which the moments do exist. The distribution is appropriate to natural phenomena whose outcomes are bounded from both sides, such as the individuals’ heights, test scores, temperatures and hydrological daily data of rain fall (for more details, see Kumaraswamy [6] , Jones [7] , Golizadeh et al. [8] , Sindhu et al. [9] and Sharaf El-Deen et al. [10] ).
Abd Al-Fattah et al. [11] derived the inverted Kumaraswamy (IKum) distribution from Kumaraswamy (Kum) distribution using the transformation . When where and are shape parameters, then the has a IKum distribution with probability density function (pdf)

Iqbal et al. generalized the some continuous distribution by using power transformation. Here we use the same technique to find the cdf of generalized inverted Kumaraswamy distribution (GIKum) and is derived by using transformation which has closed form and is as under

Assuming X is a random variable with shape parameters, , and the pdf of GIKum is as

This model is flexible enough to accommodate both monotonic as well as non-monotonic failure rates.
From Figure 1, the GIKum pdf is positively skewed distribution for all parameters’ values and for , the GIKum pdf is monotonically decreasing. The asymptote of distribution occurs at and is . The GIKum pdf has the higher peaked for larger when other parameters values are fixed.
This paper is arranged as follows. In Section 2, some statistical properties of GIKum distribution such as measures of central tendency and dispersion, reliability function (rf) hazard rate functions (hrf) and reverse hazard function, models of stress-strength, mode, moment generating function, the asymptotic mean and variance, incomplete moments, quantile functions, mean deviation and

Renyi entropy are analyzed [12] . In Section 3, sub-models and limiting distributions of GIKum and the related probability distributions of GIKum are derived through some specific transformations. In Section 4, characterization of GIKum is presented. In Section 5, maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters is obtained with some useful remarks and a theorem. Finally, in Section 6, we have applied this on real data set of prices of wooden toys of 31 children.

3.2. Some Relations between the Inverted Kumaraswamy Distribution and Other Distributions
The inverted distribution can be transformed to several distributions using appropriate transformations such as exponentiated Weibull (exponentiated exponential, Weibull, Burr type X, exponential, Rayleigh), generalized uniform (beta type I, inverted generalized Pareto type I, uniform (0, 1)), left truncated exponentiated exponential (left truncated exponential, exponential), exponentiated Burr type XII (Burr type XII, generalized Lomax, beta type II, F- distribution), Kumaraswamy-Dagum (Dagum, Kumaraswamy-Burr type III, Burr type III, log logistic) and Kumaraswamy-inverse Weibull (Kumaraswamy-inverse exponential, inverse exponential). Table 1 summarizes the transformations from IKum to other distributions.

4. Characterizations Based on Conditional Expectation
Characterization of a probability distribution for continuous r.v is important in several research areas and has recently involved many researchers attention. Here we characterize generalized inverted Kumaraswamy distribution based on 1) relationship of two moments based on truncation; 2) truncated moments of the statistic of nth order with certain functions.
4.1. Characterizations Based on Two Truncated Moments
Following Hamedani [13] , we are going to mention here that the advantage of this characterization is twofold: it relates the cdf or pdf of a distribution to the solution of the differential equation of a first order type and further there is not necessary for simple format of cdf.
Theorem 4.1
Let probability space and for a < b with and ,

where as the interval H is defined as H = [a, b]. Suppose continuous r.v X with cdf F where X is such that and let both g, h be functions of real type on H satisfying the following expression
where is a real function. Furthermore, assuming that g, are continuous and F are differentiable twicely and F monotone function on H. Finally, assuming the equation and it has never any solution in real belongs to H. and then F is determined uniquely from the following relation
and the function has a solution of and C is chosen so that .
The condition in which the both functions and are integrable uniformly and the cdf relatively compact form, and in distribution if
Proposition 4.1
Let be an r.v and let and . The pdf of X is (2) if defined in 2.1 theorem and has the following form for .
Proof. Let X has density (1.3), then
and and finally for
Conversely, when is defined earlier, then
and finally hence
Now, from 2.1 theorem, X has pdf (3)
Corollary 4.1
Let be an r.v with proposition in 4.1. The pdf of X is (2) if there exist and functions given in 4.1 theorem with the following differential equation (DE)
Remark 4.1. (a) The DE has the general solution of 4.1 corollary of the form
for , where a new constant D is introduced and it may be in particular value according to proposition 4.1.
4.2. Characterization through the Statistic of nth Ordered Truncated Moment
This section contains the characterizations of GIKum distribution based on function of the last order statistics. This characterization is derived through the consequence of the proposition 4.2, which is similar to the Hamedani [13] .
Proposition 4.2
Let be a r.v with cdf F. let and be two differentiable functions on such that and
Then
implies
Taking, e.g. and , will be a result in (2).
5. Maximum Likelihood (ML) Estimators of GIKum Distribution’s Parameters
We present here a ML estimator of the parameters of GIKum distribution
(5)
and
(6)
Taking partial derivatives with respect to and respectively from (6), we have
(7)
(8)
(9)
The ML estimators say of , are found through solution of the nonlinear system. This system of nonlinear equations does not provide explicit functions of the estimators of the parameters of GIKum distribution. Therefore, for the solution of this system of equations using software can be estimated numerically with R.
For the inference about model parameters i.e. the point estimation and the testing of hypothesis we require the information matrix of order 3 × 3 which have partial derivatives of second order and they derived from Equations (7)-(9) with again differentiating. Assuming that the regularity conditions holds, the vector follows the multivariate normal distribution asymptotically i.e. , where and is an information matrix.
We conclude this section by expressing in terms of a random variable whose distribution will be derived in the next section.

Some properties of GIKum distribution such as measures of central tendency and dispersion, models of stress-strength, limiting distributions, characterization of GIKum distribution and related probability distributions through some specific transformations are derived.
