2 46 Properties of Weighted Generalized Rayleigh Distributions Introduction The use and application of weighted distributions in research related to reliability, bio-medicine, ecology and several other areas are of tremendous practical importance in mathematics, probability and statistics. These distributions arise naturally as a result of observations generated from a stochastic process and recorded with some weight function. The concept of weighted distributions has been employed in wide variety applications in reliability and survival analysis, analysis of family data, meta-analysis, ecology, and forestry. Several authors have presented important results on length-biased distributions and on weighted distributions in general. Rao [] unified the concept of weighted distributions. Vardi [4] derived the nonparametric maximum lielihood estimate (NPMLE of a lifetime distribution in the presence of length bias and established convergence to a pinned Gaussian process with a simple covariance function under mild conditions. Rao [] identified the various sampling situations that can be modeled by what he called weighted distributions, extending the idea of the methods of ascertainment upon estimation of frequencies by Fisher. Patil and Rao [7], [8] investigated the applications of the weighted distributions. Statistical applications of weighted distributions, especially to the analysis of data relating to human population and ecology can be found in Patil and Rao [7]. For additional and important results on weighted distributions, see Gupta and Keating [4], Oluyede [6], Patil and Ord [9], Zelen and Feinleib [5] and references therein. Consider the following general class of weight functions given by w(x x e tx F i (xf j (x, ( where F (x F (x and F (x is the survival or reliability function and cumulative distribution function (cdf of the random variable X. Now setting t ; j i ; t i j ; ( t, i i, j n i; t i and t j in the weight function, one at a time, implies probability weighted moments, moment-generating functions, moments, order statistics, proportional hazards and proportional reversed hazards, respectively. Let X be a non-negative random variable (rv with its natural probability density function (pdf f(x;, where the natural parameter is Ω (Ω is the
3 X. Shi, B.O. Oluyede and M. Pararai 47 parameter space. Suppose a realization x of X under f(x; enters the investigator s record with probability proportional to w(x; β, so that the recording (weight function w(x; β is a non-negative function with the parameter β representing the recording (sighting mechanism. Clearly, the recorded x is not an observation on X, but on the rv X w, having a pdf f w (x;, β w(x, βf(x;, (2 ω where ω is the normalizing factor obtained to mae the total probability equal to unity by choosing < ω E[w(X, β] <. The random variable X w is called the weighted version of X, and its distribution is related to that of X and is called the weighted distribution with weight function w. The generalized Rayleigh distribution (GRD is considered to be a very useful life distribution. It presents a flexible family in the varieties of shapes and is suitable for modeling data with different types of hazard rate function: increasing, decreasing and upside down bathtub shape (UBT. The main objective of this article is to explore the properties of weighted generalized Rayleigh distribution (WGRD. This article is organized as follows. Section 2 contains the some basic definitions, utility notions and useful functions including the weighted generalization. The probability density function (pdf, cumulative distribution function (cdf, hazard function and reverse hazard function of the WGRD are derived. In section 3, moments and related measures are derived. Measures of uncertainty are presented in section 4, followed by concluding remars. 2 Basic Utility Notions In this section, some basic utility notions and results on the WGRD are presented. Suppose the distribution of a continuous random variable X has the parameter set {, 2,, n }. Let the pdf of the rv X be given by f(x;. The corresponding cdf is defined to be F (x; x f(t; dt. (3 The hazard function of X can be interpreted as the instantaneous failure rate or the conditional probability density of failure at time x, given that the
4 48 Properties of Weighted Generalized Rayleigh Distributions unit has survived until time x, see Shaed and Shanthiumar [3]. The hazard function h(x; is defined to be h(x; P (x X x + x lim x x[ F (x; ] F (x; F (x; f(x; F (x;, (4 where F (x; is the survival or reliability function. The concept of reverse hazard rate was introduced as the hazard rate in the negative direction and received minimal attention, if any, in the literature. Keilson and Sumita [5] demonstrated the importance of the reverse hazard rate and reverse hazard orderings. Shaed and Shanthiumar [3] presented results on reverse hazard rate. See Chandra and Roy [2], Bloc and Savits [] for additional details. We present a formal definition of the reverse hazard function of a distribution function F. See Ross [2], Chandra and Roy [2] for additional details. The reverse Hazard function can be interpreted as an approximate probability of a failure in [x, x + dx], given that the failure had occurred in [, x]. Definition 2.. Let (a, b, a < b <, be an interval of support for F. Then the reverse hazard function of X (or F at t > a is denoted by τ F (t and is defined as τ(t; d dt log F (t; f(t; F (t;. (5 Some useful functions that are employed in subsequent sections are given below. The gamma function is given by Γ(x The digamma function is defined by where Γ (x t x e t dt. (6 Ψ(x Γ (x Γ(x, (7 t x (log te t dt is the first derivative of the gamma function. The second derivative of the gamma function is Γ (x t x (log t 2 e t dt.

The lower incomplete gamma function and the upper incomplete gamma function are γ(s, x respectively. x t s e t dt and Γ(s, x x t s e t dt, (9 2.

Now consider the following weighted (length-biased version of the pdf given above in equation (: f l (x;, xf(x E(X x 2 Γ( 2 exp ( x for x, >, and >. (2

Let f(x be a twice differentiable probability density function of a continuous random variable X. Define η(x f (x f(x, where f (x is the first derivative of f(x with respect to x. Furthermore, suppose the first derivative of η(x exist.. If η (x <, for all x >, then the hazard function is monotonically decreasing (DHR. 2. If η (x >, for all x >, then the hazard function is monotonically increasing (IHR. 3. Suppose there exist x such that η (x >, for all < x < x, η (x and η (x < for all x > x. In addition, lim x f(x, then the hazard function is upside down bathtub shape (UBT.

In addition, lim x f(x, then the hazard function is bathtub shape (BT. Now consider the weighted distribution discussed above. We compute the quantity η GW (x;,, m(x g w(x;,,m g w(x;,,m, and apply Glaser [3] result.

In addition, lim x g w (x, consequently, the hazard function is upside down bathtub shape (UBT. 3 Moment Generating Function and Moments Under the density function f l (x xf(x E(x E(e tx e tx c l x exp x 2 Γ( 2 x exp(, we have x 2 Γ( 2 exp( x dx [ ( ] x t dx, (22

The entropy of a random variable is defined in terms of its probability distribution and can be shown to be a good measure of randomness or uncertainty. In this section, we present some useful and important measures of uncertainty including Shannon entropy, β entropy, and generalized entropy for the WGRD. 4. Shannon Entropy Shannon entropy of a random variable X is a measure of the uncertainty
