In order to improve the already existing models that are used extensively in bio sciences and applied sciences research, a new class of Weighted Power function distribution (WPFD) has been proposed with its various properties and different modifications to be more applicable in real life. We have provided the mathematical derivations for the new distribution including moments, incomplete moments, conditional moments, inverse moments, mean residual function, vitality function, order statistics, mills ratio, information function, Shannon entropy, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and quantile function. We have also characterized the WPFD, based on doubly truncated mean. The aim of the study is to increase the application of the Power function distribution. The main feature of the proposed distribution is that there is no induction of parameters as compare to the other generalization of the distributions, which are complexed having many parameters. We have used R programming to estimate the parameters of the new class of WPFD using Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM), Percentile Estimators (P.E) and their modified estimators. After analyzing the data, we conclude that the proposed model WPFD performs better in the data sets while compared to different competitor models.

Weighted distributions have been extensively applied in the field of sampling which deals with unequal weighting of the units for example actuarial sciences, biomedicine, ecology and survival data analysis. Fisher (1934) has used firstly weighted distributions in order to estimate the frequencies by using methods of ascertainment. Let we have a random variable x with the following probability density function, π(π₯; πΌ, π½) = π€(π₯;π½)π(π₯;πΌ)πΈ[π€(π₯;π½)] (1.1) We take π€(π₯; π½) as the non-negative weight function. Patil and Ord (1976) utilized the concept of weighted distribution and presented the idea of π½π‘β order size biased distribution utilizing the weight function as π€(π₯) = π₯ π½ , and that was called moment distribution. It is is called as size biased when π½ =1, whereas it is called the area biased distribution for π½ =2. Afterwards many statisticians worked on weighted distribution such as Patil and Rao (1978), Arnold and Nagaraja (1991), Gove (2003), Mir and Ahmed (2009), Das and Roy (2011) applied this concept on different probability distributions. Ramos and Louszada (2016) discussed generalized weighted Lindley distributions with its different properties. Dar et al. (2017) introduced transmuted weighted exponential distribution and discussed its application. Balakrishnan et al. (2017) introduced the weighted Poisson distribution and its application to cure rate models. Different works on the weighted distributions and its parameters estimations are discussed in (Para and Jan (2018), Perveen and Ahmad (2018), Acitas (2019)) Dallas (1976) introduced the power function as the inverse of Pareto distribution. Meniconi and Barry (1996) showed that Power function distribution (PFD) is better to fit for failure data over exponential, lognormal and Weibull because it provides a better fit. Zaka and Akhter (2013) worked on parameters estimation for Power function distribution. Afterwards Zaka and Akhter (2014) provided the different modifications and Bayes inference of the parameters from power function distribution. Zaka et al. (2020) proposed the exponentiated class of Power function distribution. In this research paper, the effort is to introduce a new model called the Weighted Power function distribution (WPFD) which may be more suitable to the applied bio sciences and applied sciences data. We have studied the various properties of the under discussion distribution as moments, inverse moments, conditional moments, moments generating function, quantile function, mean residual function, vitality function, information function, mills ratio, bonferroni curve, lorenz curve, some entropies and order statistics. We have also produced some modifications of the WPFD. We have demonstrated the performance of the new models over already existing distributions by using a real life example from medical and applied sciences. The main feature of the proposed distributions is that there is no induction of parameters as compare to the other generalization of the distributions, which are complexed having many parameters. Weighted Power Function Distribution (WPFD)
Power function distribution (PFD) may model life time data as a good fit. The pdf (probability distribution function) may be written as: π(π₯) = πΎπ₯ πΎβ1 π½ πΎ ; 0 < π₯ < π½ (2.1) and πΉ(π₯) = ( π₯π½ ) πΎ ; where Ξ² and Ξ³ are the scale and shape parameters. We may consider the following weight function as: w(x; Ξ±) =F (Ξ±x) (2.2) Hence using (2.1) and (2.2) in (1.1), the pdf of the Weighted Power function distribution (WPFD) is π(π₯) =
2πΎ π₯ π½ ; 0 < π₯ < π½ (2.3) The cumulative distribution function (cdf), survival, and hazard functions of WPFD are πΊ(π₯) = ( π₯π½ ) (2.4) π (π₯) = 1 β ( π₯π½ ) (2.5) h(x) = (2Ξ³)(X) (Ξ²) β(x) (2.6) Asymptotic Behavior
We may see the asymptotic behavior of the pdf, cdf, hazard and survival functions of WPFD as x β 0 and x β β. i. πππ π₯ β 0 π(π₯) = 0 ; ππ πΎ = 0 πππ π½ > 0. ii. πππ π₯ β β π(π₯) = β ; β πππ π ππππ π£πππ’ππ ππ πΎ πππ π½. iii. πππ π₯ β 0 πΊ(π₯) = 0 ; β πππ π ππππ π£πππ’ππ ππ πΎ πππ π½. iv. πππ π₯ β 0
πΊ(π₯) = 1 ; ππ πΎ = 0 πππ π½ > 0. v. πππ π₯ β 0 π(π₯) = 0 ; ππ πΎ > 0 πππ π½ > 0. vi. πππ π₯ β 0
π(π₯) = β ; ππ πΎ > 0 πππ π½ = 0. vii. πππ π₯ β 0
π(π₯) = 1 ; ππ πΎ = 0 πππ π½ β₯ 1. viii. πππ π₯ β β
π(π₯) = β ; ππ πΎ > 0 πππ π½ β₯ 1. ix. πππ π₯ β 0 β(π₯) = 0 ; ππ πΎ = 0 πππ π½ > 0. x. πππ π₯ β β β(π₯) = 0 ; ππ π½ > 0 πππ πΎ β₯ 1. Characteristics of Hazard function using Glaser method
We may use the conditions defined by Glaser (1980) as π(π₯) = β πβ²(π₯)π(π₯) π(π₯) = β (2πΎ β 1)π₯ πΜ (π₯) = (2πΎ β 1)π₯ If x > 0 , then πΜ (π₯) > 0 under the following conditions i. If πΎ β₯ 1 , then πΜ (π₯) > 0 . ii. If πΎ = 0 , then πΜ (π₯) = 0 . iii. If πΎ < 1 ππ πΎ = 0 , then πΜ (π₯) < 0 The above conditions shows that the hazard function of WPFD is increasing but if πΎ < 1 ππ πΎ = 0 , then it will be decreasing function.
Shapes
Figures.1-3 (See Appendix) shows some plots of the pdf, cdf and hrf for some parameter values of WPFD. WPFD have different shapes like increasing, right and left skewed and J shapes. Mathematical Properties of the WPFD
We may discuss some general properties of WPFD under this current section;
Quantile Function
By inverting (2.4), we get the quantile function as:
π(π’) = π½π (1/2πΎ)
Moments and Inverse Moments
The r th moment and the r th inverse moment of the random variable β Xβ , say π πβ² may be expressed as π πβ² = π (π+2πΎ) and π (βπ)β² =
2πΎ π½ βπ (βπ+2πΎ) Incomplete Moments and Conditional Moments
The Incomplete and Conditional moments may be expressed as: π π₯|(π½,πΎ);π (π) = β« π₯ ππ0 2πΎ π₯ π½ ππ₯ = ( (2πΎ)π½ ) (π) π+2πΎ π+2πΎ And Conditional moments of βXβ
πΈ(π₯ π | π₯ > π‘) = ( (2πΎ)πΉΜ (π‘)π½ ) (π½) π+2πΎ β(π‘) π+2πΎ π+2πΎ Moments Generating Function (MGF)
The MGF of WPFD is expressed as π (π‘) = 1 + β (π‘π½) π π!( π2πΎ +1)βπ=1 Mean Residual function(MRF) and Vitality function(VF)
The mean residual function is given by the relation: π(π₯) = β« π(π‘) βπ₯ ππ‘π(π₯) = (π½βπ₯)β ( π½2πΎ+1βπ₯2πΎ+12πΎ+1 )1β( π₯π½ ) and π(π₯) = β« π₯ π(π₯) βπ₯ ππ₯π(π₯) = ( π½2πΎ+1βπ₯2πΎ+12πΎ+1 )1β( π₯π½ ) Some Entropies and Information function
The
RenyΜ i entropy of a random variable βXβ is defined as; πΌ π (π ) = πππ [β« π π (π₯) β0 ππ₯] = πππ {( ) π ( π½ π (2πΎβ1)+1 π (2πΎβ1)+1 )} And Shannon entropy of βXβ is defined as
πΈ{β πππ[π(π₯)]} = β [πππ + (2πΎ β 1) {ππππ½ β }] Also Information function provides the moments of self-information of the probability density function by taking the derivatives at certain at certain place
πΈ{π(π₯)} π = ( ) π ( π½ π (2πΎβ1)+1 π (2πΎβ1)+1 ) Order Statistics
The pdf of jth order statistics may be written as following, π π,π (π₯) = π!(πβ1)!(πβπ)! π(π₯)πΉ πβ1 (π₯){1 β πΉ(π₯)} πβπ ; π = 1, β¦ , π Therefore the pdf of lower order statistics π (π₯) = { π(2πΎ)(π) π½ } (1 β (π₯) π½ ) πβ1 And the pdf of highest order statistic π π,π (π₯) = { π(2πΎ)(π) π½ } ( (π₯) π½ ) πβ1 The Mills Ratio
This is defined as the inverse of hazard rate function and mathematically expressed as m(x) = s(x)g(x) = (Ξ² βx )(2Ξ³)x Bonferroni and Lorenz curves
πΏ(π) = β« π₯ π(π₯)ππ₯ = π0 (2πΎ)(π) π π½ (2πΎ+1) and π΅(π) = πΏ(π)/π Some Modified Weighted Power Function Distribution (MWPFD) st Modified Weighted Power Function Distribution (MWPFD-1)
In this modification we replace the weight function in (2.2) by
πΉ (πΌ π π₯ π ) i.e. π€(π₯; πΌ, π) = πΉ (πΌ π π₯ π ) (See Table 1 in Appendix) nd Modified Weighted Power Function Distribution (MWPFD-2)
In this modification we replace the weight function in (2.2) by
πΉ (πΌ π₯ ) i.e. π€(π₯; πΌ, π) = πΉ (πΌ π₯ ) (See Table 1 in Appendix) Characterization based on Conditional moment (Doubly Truncated Mean)
Let βXβ
Weighted Power function Variable with Probability density function π(π₯) = 2πΎ π₯ π½ ; 0 < π₯ < π½ And let
πΊΜ (π₯) be the survival function respectively. Then the random variable βX β has Weighted Power function distribution if and only if πΈ(π|π₯ < π < π¦) = 2πΎπ½ {πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯)} [π¦ β π₯
2πΎ + 1 ] where πΈ(π|π₯ β€ π β€ π¦): Doubly Truncated Mean .
Proof: Necessary part:
πΈ(π|π₯ β€ π β€ π¦) = 1πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯) β« π₯ 2πΎ π₯ π½ ππ₯ πΈ(π|π₯ < π < π¦) = 2πΎπ½ {πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯)} [π¦ β π₯
2πΎ + 1 ] (5.1)
Now Sufficient Part:
πΈ(π|π₯ β€ π β€ π¦) = 1{πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯)} β« π₯ π¦π₯ π(π₯)ππ₯ πΈ(π|π₯ β€ π β€ π¦) = π¦πΊ(π¦) β π₯πΊ(π₯) β β« πΊ(π) π¦π₯ ππ₯πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯) (5.2) Equate (5.1) and (5.2), we get π¦πΊ(π¦) β π₯πΊ(π₯) β β« πΊ(π₯) π¦π₯ ππ₯πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯) = 2πΎπ½ {πΊ(π¦) β πΊ(π₯)} [π¦ β π₯
2πΎ + 1 ]
After differentiating the above equation, we get π(π¦) = 2πΎπ¦ π½ This is the pdf of WPFD. Comparison between Maximum Likelihood and Percentile Estimation Methods of the Parameters of WPFD
Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM)
Let x , x ,..., x n be a random sample of size n from the WPFD. The log-likelihood function for the WPFD is given by πΏ(πΎ, π½) = πππ(2πΎ) + (2πΎ β 1) β ππ(π₯ π ) ππ=1 β 2ππΎ ππ(π½) The score vector is π π½ (πΎ, π½) = ππΎπ½ (6.1) π πΎ (πΎ, π½) = ππΎ + 2 β ππ π₯ πππ=1 β 2π ππ(π½) (6.2) The parameters of Weighted Power Function distribution can be obtained by solving the above equations resulting from setting the two partial derivatives of L( πΎ , π½ ) to zero; Ξ² does not exist, but the likelihood function can be maximize by taking π½Μ = π₯ π ; Where βx n β is the maximum value in the data. (6.3) πΎΜ = ( π2(π ππ(π½) β β ππ π₯ πππ=1 )) Modified Maximum Likelihood Method (MMLM)
In this modification of the MLM, the (6.2) equation is replaced by the co-efficient of variation of WPFD. π. π£ = 1β4πΎ(πΎ + 2)
By solving the above expression, we get πΎΜ = β1 + β1 + π₯Μ π π½Μ = π₯ π ; Where β x n β is the maximum value in the data Estimation of Weighted Power Function Distribution Parameters from βcommon percentilesβ (P.E)
Dubey (1967) proposed a percentile estimator of the shape parameter, based on any two sample percentiles. Marks (2005) also discussed it, in which he estimated the parameters of Weibull distribution with the help of percentiles. Let π₯ , π₯ , π₯ , β¦ , π₯ π be a random sample of size n drawn from Probability density function of Weighted Power function distribution. The cumulative distribution function of a Weighted Power function distribution with shape and scale parameters π½ and πΎ , respectively π₯ = π½(π ) ; π = πΊ(π₯) (6.4) Let P and P are the 75 th and 25 th Percentiles, therefore (6.4) becomes π = π½(. 75) (6.5) π = π½(. 25) (6.6) Solving the above equations, we get πΎΜ = ππ ( .75.25 )2 β ππ ( π π ) and π½Μ = π (. 75) generally πΎΜ = ππ ( π»πΏ )2 β ππ ( π π» π πΏ ) and π½Μ = π π» (π») Where H= Maximum Percentage, L= Minimum Percentage and P = Percentile
Modified Percentile Estimator (M.P.E)
In this modification of the percentile estimators, (6.6) is replaced by the Median of Weighted Power function distribution. π₯Μ = π½2 β π½Μ = π₯Μ2
From (6.5) π½Μ = π (.75) therefore π₯Μ2 = π (.75) β πΎΜ = ππ (2β.75)2βππ ( π75π₯Μ ) πΎΜ = ππ (2 β π»)2 β ππ ( π π» π₯Μ ) πππ π½Μ = π π» (π») Where H= Maximum Percentage and P = Percentile. A simulation study is used in order to compare the performance of the proposed estimation methods. We carry out this comparison taking the samples of sizes as n = 40 and 100 with pairs of ( Ξ² , Ξ³ ) = {(1, 2), (3, 2) and (4, 3)}. We generated random samples of different sizes by observing that if R i is random number taking (0, 1), then x i = Ξ²R i1 2Ξ³β is the random number generation from Weighted Power function distribution with ( Ξ³ , Ξ² ) parameters. All results are based on 5000 replications. Such generated data have been used to obtain estimates of the unknown parameters. The results obtained from parameters estimation of the 2-parameters of Weighted Power function distribution using different sample sizes and different values of parameters with mean square error M.S.E. π. π. πΈ (π½Μ) = πΈ [(π½Μ β π½) ] , π. π. πΈ (πΎΜ) = πΈ[(πΎΜβ πΎ) ] If we study the two results of the Table 2 and Table 3 from Appendix, in which sample sizes are (40 and 100) and the combinations of the values of ( π½ , πΎ ) = {(1, 2), (3, 2) and (4, 3)}. Then we get the results that MLM is the best for the estimation of π½ and πΎ. After MLM, the MMLM and Percentile method are best for the estimation of scale and shape parameters of the Weighted Power function distribution. Application
In this section, we illustrate the usefulness of the WPFD and its modifications. We fit these distributions on real life data and compare the result with the existing distributions.
The Data about group of patients given Chemotherapy treatment
The first data set is reported by Bekker et al. (2000), which corresponds to the survival times (in years) of a group of patients given chemotherapy treatment alone. The data consisting of survival times (in years) for 46 patients are: 0.047,0.115, 0.121,0.132,0.164,0.197,0.203,0.260,0.282,0.296, 0.334, 0.395, 0.458, 0.466, 0.501, 0.507, 0.529, 0.534, 0.540, 0.641, 0.644, 0.696, 0.841, 0.863, 1.099, 1.219, 1.271, 1.326, 1.447, 1.485, 1.553, 1.581, 1.589, 2.178, 2.343, 2.416, 2.444, 2.825, 2.830, 3.578, 3.658, 3.743, 3.978, 4.003, 4.033. We have estimated the parameters of the model by the method of MLE. We have used five other criteriaβs to compare the performance of the proposed distributions with already existing distributions. We have used Akaike information criterion (AIC), consistent Akaike information criterion (CAIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and Hannan-Quinn information criterion (HQIC) for this comparison. We have compared our proposed distribution with the kumarswamy Marshal-Olkin family of distribution (Kw-MO) proposed by Alizadeh et al. (2015),
Kumaraswamy Power function distribution (KPFD) by Ibrahim (2017),
McDonald`s Power function distribution (McPFD) by Haq et al. (2018) and Power function distribution (PFD) for the same data set. The TTT-plot is displayed in Figure 4 (See Appendix), which indicates that the HRF associated with the data set has a bathtub shape, since the plot shows a first concave curvature. So, we can easily fit WPFD on the Chemotherapy treatment data. In Table 4 (See Appendix), we may see that WPFD provides better fit for the above data set as it provides minimum AIC, BIC, CAIC and HQIC.
Devices failure times data
The second data set refers to 30 devices failure times given in Table 15.1 by Meeker and Escobar (1998). The data are: 275, 13, 147, 23, 181, 30, 65, 10, 300, 173, 106, 300, 300, 212, 300, 300, 300, 2, 261, 293, 88,247, 28, 143, 300, 23, 300, 80, 245, and 266. The same data has been used by Tahir et al. (2016) for Weibull Power function distribution (WP). We have used this data set to show the performance of our proposed Weighted Power function distribution (WPFD) over Tahir et al. (2016), Kumaraswamy Power function distribution (KPFD) by Ibrahim (2017),
McDonald`s Power function distribution (McPFD) by Haq et al. (2018) and Power function distribution (PFD). The TTT-plot is displayed in Figure 5 (See Appendix), which indicates that the HRF associated with the data set has an increasing shape, since the plot shows a first concave curvature. So, we can easily fit WPFD on the Devices failure timeβs data. In Table 5 (See Appendix) provide the Statistics for Devices failure times. The proposed model WPFD is showing better results by providing the smallest AIC, BIC, CAIC and HQIC for the devices failure timeβs data. Concluding Remarks
We have seen from Table 4 and 5 that WPFD best describe the discussed data sets as compare to the other models in literature. So may be used in order to describe the nature of life time data of medical sciences and applied sciences by providing the lowest values of the AIC, BIC, CAIC and HQIC among all fitted probability distribution functions. In this paper, we proposed the WPFD and its modifications. We derived some of its properties. The parameters of the distribution have been estimated by the Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM), Percentile Estimators (P.E) and their modified estimators. We have also characterized the distribution by doubly truncated mean (DTM). Different criteriaβs has been used as discussed above to prove that the WPFD provides a better fit than existing distributions.
It is hoped that the findings of this paper will be useful for researchers in different field of applied sciences.
