A New Discrete amily of Reuce Moifie Weibull Distribution. International Journal of Statistical Distributions an Applications. Vol. 3, No. 3, 2017, pp oi: /j.ijs Receive: August 16, 2017; Accepte: August 31, 2017; Publishe: October 26, 2017 Abstract: Discretization of continuous lifetime istribution is an interesting an intuitively appealing approach to erive a iscrete lifetime moel. This stuy erive a iscretize form of Reuce Moifie Weibull istribution known as the Marshall-Olkin Discrete Reuce Moifie Weibull (MDRMW) istribution. The mathematical an statistical properties of MDRMW istribution were erive an compare with existing istributions of Discrete Reuce Moifie Weibull istribution (DRMW), Exponentiate Discrete Weibull istribution (EDW) an Two Parameters Discrete Linley istribution (TDL). Maximum likelihoo metho was use to erive the statistics of MDRMW parameters. The Aarset Reliability ataset was fitte for the existing an erive istribution an AIC an olmogorov Smirrnoff (S) were compare. The shape of MDRMW istribution was unimoal an monotonic ecreasing. The plot of hazar rate function coul be ecreasing or bathtub. The AIC an S values of Aarset reliability ata analysis were an ; an ; an for MDRMW, DRMW an TDL respectively. The AIC an S values of Leukemia survival ata analysis were an ; an respectively. The Aarset reliability ata analysis showe that MDRMW compare favorably with existing istributions. The MDRMW an DRMW hanle Leukemia survival ata set as against EDW an TDL. The values of AIC an S for MDRMW were lower than DRMW, EDW an TDL. This showe that MDRMW was better than the existing istributions. eywors: Weibull, TDL, DRMW, EDW, MDRMW 1. Introuction The Weibull istribution is a lifetime istribution, this make it to be important an esirable. Weibull istribution can be use in ifferent fiels with many applications. Its survival an hazar rate functions have simple expression an its flexibility make it useful to fit ifferent lifetime ata sets in ifferent fiels. The cumulative istribution function (CD) of the twoparameter Weibull istribution is given by the ( ) ( x θ ) x = 1 exp α, x > 0, (1) Where α > 0, an θ > 0 are the scale an shape parameters respectively. The probability ensity function (PD) is given by ( ) xθ ( xθ ) f x An the hazar rate function is = αθ 1 exp α, x > 0. (2) ( ) = x θ 1, x > 0, h x αθ (3) This can either increase; ecrease or constant epening on > 1, < 1 or = 1. or many years, using ifferent techniques, many researchers have evelope various moifie forms of the Weibull istribution to achieve nonmonotonic shapes. Bebbington et al (2007) propose that the hazar rate function of the two-parameter flexible Weibull

2 26 Aemola Lateef Oloko et al.: A New Discrete amily of Reuce Moifie Weibull Distribution extension can be increasing, ecreasing or bathtub shape. Also Muholkar an Srivastave (1993) propose a twoparameter moel, calle the exponentiate Weibull istribution. The authors are intereste in using the Marshal-Olkin iscretize family to iscretize the moifie Weibull istribution (MW) ue to the wie ability to iscretize any continuous istribution unlike the general metho being use. There is no limit at which the metho can iscretize continuous istributions in as much as the continuous istribution has a survival function. Also, a shape parameter from the Marshal-Olkin family is an ae avantage in the analysis of ata. The propose istribution is referre to as Marshall-Olkin Discrete Reuce Moifie Weibull istribution (MDRMW). The statistical properties of the propose istribution were erive. The propose istribution is compare with existing competing istributions an applie to meical an reliability. The new istribution has a esire characteristic, it has a close form an it can be highly monotonically ecreasing in shape, its hazar function can be bathtub an it is useful in moeling meical an reliability ata. Marshall-Olkin Discrete amily A methoology to a a parameter to obtain a new family of istributions was introuce by Marshall an Olkin (1997). The family of Marshall Olkin istributions with survival function given as ;=, (4) where >0, =1 an is a survival function of the continuous istribution. ere, the authors consier the class of continuous scale family of istributions with scale parameter >0 an enote probability ensity function an the cumulative istribution function of the same by. an. respectively. The survival function of the new scale family of continuous istributions on the positive real line using equation 4 is given by ;,=, (5) where =1. The survival function 5 can be consiere as a generalization of the scale family of istributions an the corresponing family of istributions. Let be a iscrete ranom variable associate to a continuous ranom variable belonging to RMW. The probability mass function is given by! =;=" " = ; +1; " = where >0, =1 $%& '('%(,=0,1,2, (6) 2. Methoology A two-parameter iscrete istribution will be introuce. It will be a new iscrete istribution allowing for bathtub shape hazar rate functions. Its mathematical properties will be iscusse, an its applications to real ata sets will be stuie. The propose istribution will be shown to outperform the existing moels incluing the ones allowing for bathtub shape hazar rate functions. The propose iscrete istribution is base on a twoparameter moification of the Reuce Moifie Weibull (RMW) istribution propose by Almaki, (2014). The twoparameter istribution woul be shown to be flexible, have a bathtub shape hazar rate function. The authors refer to it as the Marshall-Olkin Discrete Reuce Moifie Weibull istribution an enote by MDRMW. 3. Propose Distribution: Marshall-Olkin Discrete Reuce Moifie Weibull Distribution (MDRMW) The cumulative istribution function an survival function of RMW istribution are respectively as follows an respectively.

Shape of the Propose Distribution (MDRMW) In igure 1, it can be seen that the MDRMW istribution is flexible. Its PM can take one of the following shapes: i) a unimoal shape; ii) a monotonic ecreasing shape; iii) a

Numerical Illustration The gooness of fit statistic an the gooness of fit plot were provie in orer to check the moel that best fit the ata among the moels for each ataset use for this research. Two real ata sets were consiere in this section. One of them has bathtub shape hazar rate functions while the secon one has an increasing hazar rate function.

MODEL -2Log-Likelihoo AIC BIC MDRMW DRMW Conclusion A new istribution calle Marshall-Olkin Discrete Reuce Moifie Weibull istribution (MDRMW) was propose an its properties stuie. In this work, the new iscrete RMW was use to analyze all the atasets use by Amalki, (2014) in orer to properly compare the new istribution with DRMW of Amalki. In aition, two most recent istributions which are Exponentiate Discrete Weibull istribution an Two Parameter iscrete Linley istribution (TDL) propose by Tassaaq et al., (2016) were also use to analyze the atasets. The MDRMW istribution is flexible to moel iscrete ata such as survival ata an over-isperse ata. Its hazar function is monotonically ecreasing, followe by an increasing shape an upsie own bathtub. The close form expressions for the moments, istribution of orer statistics were obtaine. Maximum likelihoo estimation technique was use to estimate the moel parameters. References [1] Almalki, S. J.
