Abstract This paper proposed a ew geeral class of cotiuous lifetime distributios, which is a complemetary to the Poisso- Lidley family proposed by Asgharzadeh et al. [3]. The ew class is derived by compoudig the maximum of a radom umber of idepedet ad idetically cotiuous distributed radom variables, ad Poisso-Lidley distributio. Several properties of the proposed class are discussed, icludig a formal proof of probability desity, cumulative distributio, ad reliability ad hazard rate fuctios. The ukow parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method ad the Fisher s iformatio matrix elemets are determied. Some sub-models of this class are ivestigated ad studied i some details. Fially, a real data set is aalyzed to illustrate the performace of ew distributios. Keywords: Poisso-Lidley Distributio; Complemetary; Lifetime Distributios; Distributio of the Maximum. 1. Itroductio Lifetime distributios are of great importace i several applicatios for theoretical research ad applied fields such as; isurace, medical, egieerig, biological, commuicatios ad life testig. Recetly, attempts have bee made to defie ew lifetime probability distributios, that provide great flexibility i modelig data i practice. Oe way to geerate a ew lifetime distributio is compoudig procedure. Firstly; Adamidis ad Loukas [1] itroduced a ew distributio with decreasig failure rate by mixig the distributio of the miimum of a fixed umber of expoetial distributed radom variables with geometric radom variable. Similar procedure for derivig aother lifetime distributios discussed by several authors; such as; Kus [11]; Thamasbi ad Rezaei [17] ad Chahkadi ad Gajali [6]. I the same way; a compoud class of lifetime distributios with Poisso distributio is derived by Alkari ad Oraby [2]. Asgharzadeh et al. [3] obtaied a ew compoud class of Poisso Lidley by compoudig distributio of the miimum of a fixed umber of ay lifetime distributio with Poisso Lidley distributio. Recetly based o reliability studies, some researches have proposed a series of ew distributios for the maximum of a sequece of idetically idepedet distributed radom variables, which represets the risk times of the system compoet. Louzada et al. [15] itroduced a two-parameter lifetime distributio with icreasig failure rate by compoudig the distributio of the maximum of sequece of idepedet ad idetically compoets radom variables from expoetial distributio ad geometric radom variable. Next, Flores et al. [8] treat the distributio of a vector s with maximum compoets that are expoetially distributed i a radom umber of a power series distributio type. This type of distributio is called complemetary expoetial power series distributio. Likewise, Leahu et al. [12] itroduced two ew families of distributios amed as max- Erlag power series distributio ad mi- Erlag power series distributio. They mixed miimum ad maximum of a radom umber of idepedetly; idetically Erlag distributed radom variables with power series distributio. Cordeiro ad Silva [7] itroduced the complemetary class of exteded Weibull power series distributios by usig maximum distributio of exteded Weibull. I this article, a ew compoud class of Poisso-Lidley distributio is suggested by mixig the maximum of a fixed umber of ay cotiuous lifetime radom variables with Poisso- Lidley radom variable. I particular, some submodels of this class are derived ad studied i some details. This paper is orgaized as followig. I Sectio 2, the ew

I Sectio 3, some statistical measuremets of the ew class will be derived. Maximum likelihood estimators for the ukow parameters from the class of Poisso Lidley distributios are discussed i Sectio 4. Four special sub-models of the proposed class are ivestigated i Sectio 5. A applicatio to a real data set is preseted i Sectio 6. Fially, some cocludig remarks are addressed i Sectio The ew class Followig the same idea of Adamidis ad Loukas [1], the ew class of distributios is defied as follows. Let X 1, X 2,, X w are idetically idepedet distributed (iid radom variables from a cotiuous probability desity fuctio h(x; θ o (0,, with some cotiuous ukow parameters (θ = θ 1, θ 2,, θ k. Let W be a zero trucated Poisso-Lidley radom variable idepedet of X s with the followig probability mass fuctio: P(W = w = α 2 2+α+w (1+α Defie, X = max{ X i } W of X W = w is give by: f X W=w (x = wh(x; θh(x; θ w 1 w, w = {1,2.. }, α > 0. (1 as the Poisso-Lidley- H radom variable. The coditioal probability desity fuctio (PDF The joit distributio of X ad W is obtaied as the followig: f X,W (x, w; α, θ = α 2 2+α+w (1+α w wh(x; θh(x; θw 1. So, the ew class of the complemetary Poisso-Lidley (CPL lifetime distributios is derived as the margial PDF of X as follows: f(x; α, θ = α 2 h(x;θ (1+α ((2 + α w=1 w (H(x;θ w 2 ( H(x;θ w=1, 1+α w 1 1+α w 1 After some simplificatios, it reduces to: f(x; α, θ = α2 (1+α 2 h(x;θ(3+α H(x;θ (1+α H(x;θ 3, x > 0. (2 Propositio 1: The PDF of complemetary Poisso-Lidley lifetime distributios ca be writte as a liear combiatio of h i (x, θs Proof The PDF (2 ca be expressed as; f(x; α, θ = α2 (1+α 2 [h 1(x; θ + h 2 (x; θ]; Where; h i (x; θ = ih(x; θ[1 + α H(x; θ] (i+1 ; i = 1,2. So, f(x; α, θ is a liear combiatio of h i (x, θs. The correspodig cumulative distributio fuctio (CDF associated to (2 is give by: F(x; α, θ = ( α 2 1+3α+α 2 H(x;θ (1+α H(x;θ 2 {1 + α + (2 + α (1 + α H(x; θ}, x > 0. (3 Propositio 2: F(x; α, θ H(x; θ as α. So H(x; θ is the limitig case of F(x; α, θ. Proof lim F(x; α, θ = lim α ( α2 α 1+3α+α 2 H(x;θ (1+α H(x;θ 2 {1 + α + (2 + α (1 + α H(x; θ} = H(x; θ.

3 148 Iteratioal Joural of Advaced Statistics ad Probability So H(x; θ is the limitig case of (3. Furthermore, the reliability ad hazard rate fuctios of complemetary Poisso-Lidley lifetime distributios are obtaied, respectively, as the followig: R(x; α, θ = 1 α2 H(x;θ{1+α+(2+α(1+α H(x;θ} ad (1+α H(x;θ 2, (4 υ(x; α, θ = α 2 (1+α 2 h(x;θ (1+3α+α 2 ( 3+α H(x;θ 3 (1+α H(x;θ 1 α2 H(x;θ{1+α+(2+α(1+α H(x;θ} (1+α H(x;θ 2. (5 Now, let us deote a radom variable X followig the complemetary Poisso-Lidley lifetime distributios with parameters θ ad α by X~CPL(θ, α. This ew class of distributios is preseted as a geeralizatio of several distributios. 3. Momets ad momet geeratig fuctio Momets are commoly used to characterize the probability distributio or observed data set. Some of the most importat features ad characteristics of a distributio ca be studied through momets (e.g. tedecy, dispersio, skewess ad kurtosis. The r th raw momet of X about the origi ca be determied from (2 as follows: E(X r = α2 (1+α 2 0 xr h(x; θ(3 + α H(x; θ (1 + α H(x; θ 3 Usig the biomial expasio the E(X r ca be writte as: 0 xr E(X r = α2 (1+α 1 After some simplificatio, E(X r = α2 (1+α 1 Where, I(i = (i i=0 ( i+2 2 dx. (1 + α i (H(x; θ i h(x; θ (3 + α H(x; θ dx. i=0 (1 + α i [ (3 + αi(i I(i + 1], (6 x r h(x, θ (H(x; θ i dx. Hece, the momets of this class is obtaied directly by substitutig r=1, 2 i Equatio (6. Additioally, the momet geeratig fuctio ca be writte as: t r M x (t = r=0 E(X r r! Therefore, the momet geeratig fuctio of CPL class of distributios is obtaied from (6 as follows: M x (t = α2 (1+α 1 t r r=0 i=0 ( i+2 (1 + α i [ (3 + αi(i I(i + 1]. (7 r! 2 4. Parameter estimatio I this sectio; the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs of the model parameters of the complemetary Poisso- Lidley class of distributios are determied from complete samples. I additio, a expressio for the associated Fisher s iformatio matrix is give. Let X 1, X 2,, X is a radom sample from the ew class of Poisso-Lidley with parameters α ad θ. the loglikelihood fuctio based o observed radom sample of size is give by:

The first partial derivatives for the log-likelihood equatio with respect to α ad θ are give respectively as follows: = 2(2α+1 α α(α+1 Ad (3+2α α+α α H(x i ;θ, (8 1+α H(x i ;θ θ = h(xi;θ θ h(x i ;θ ( H(x i ;θ θ 3+α H(x i ;θ + 3 ( H(x i ;θ θ.

Tests of hypothesis ad cofidece itervals for the parameters ca be obtaied based o Fisher ' s iformatio matrix. Therefore, the two sided approximate cofidece limits for the maximum likelihood estimates α ad ˆ of populatio parameters α ad θ ca be costructed, such that: ( α θ = (α θ ± Zδ 2 ( diagoal(i 1, Where, zδ is the stadard ormal percetile at δ 2, δ is the sigificat level, I is the asymptotic Fisher iformatio 2 matrix which is obtaied by substitutig ˆ for θ ad α for α as follows: I = ( 2 l α 2 2 l α θ 2 l α θ 2 l θ 2. The elemets of the asymptotic Fisher iformatio matrix I ca be expressed as the followig: 2 l α 2 = 2(2α 2+2α +1 (α (α (7+6α +2α 2 (1+3α +α (3+α H(x i ;θ (1+α H(x i ;θ 2, 2 θ 2h(xi;θ 2 l = h(x θ 2 i ;θ ( h(x i ;θ θ 2 [ h(x i ;θ 2 ( 2 H(x i ;θ (3+α H(x θ 2 i ;θ +( H(x i ;θ 2 θ (3+α H(x i ;θ 2 ] +3 ( 2 H(x i ;θ (1+α H(x θ 2 i ;θ +( H(x i ;θ 2 θ (1+α H(x i ;θ 2, 2 l α θ = ( H(x i ;θ θ (3+α H(x i ;θ 2 3 ( H(x i ;θ θ (1+α H(x i ;θ Special models I this sectio, some special cases of CPL lifetime distributios will be discussed, icludig the complemetary Burr XII Poisso Lidley (CBXIIPL distributio, complemetary Burr III Poisso Lidley (CBIIIPL distributio, complemetary Weibull Poisso Lidley (CWPL distributio, ad complemetary iverse Weibull Poisso Lidley (CIWPL distributio. To illustrate the flexibility of distributios, plots of PDF ad hazard rate fuctio for some values of the parameter are preseted.

Burr XII distributio was the most popular betwee Burr distributios family. Burr [5] ad Tadikamalla [16] showed that the skewess ad kurtosis of Burr XII distributio have differet shapes ad degrees. Characteristics of Burr XII distributio are ear to several distributios like expoetial family, ormal, logormal etc. To check extra properties of Burr XII distributio (see Headrick et al. [9].

Note that; from propositio (2; as α, F(x; α, γ, β 1 (1 + x β γ = H(x; γ, β, which is the distributio fuctio of Burr XII. Hece, the Burr XII is obtaied as limitig distributio for CBXIIPL distributio.

Complemetary Burr III Poisso Lidley distributio The Burr III distributio properly approximates may familiar distributios such as ormal, logormal, gamma, Weibull, ad expoetial distributios. It plays a importat role i reliability egieerig, statistical quality cotrol, ad risk aalysis models. Burr type III has bee itroduced to forestry by Lidsay et al. [14].This distributio is a importat because this is iheretly more flexible tha the Weibull distributio, which is ofte used i forestry applicatio. Burr type III covers a much larger area of the skewess kurtosis plae tha the Weibull distributio. The cumulative distributio fuctio for Burr III distributio with shape parameters γ ad β is give by: H(x; γ, β = (1 + x β γ, x > 0.
