The PDF CDF of Pareto law or exactly Pareto distribution PD are as follows: fx = α α x α+1, 1.4 F x = 1 F x = 1 x α, x >. 1.5 For detailed information one can refer to [4]. Several methods have been proposed in the literature for estimating the PD parameters. [11] introduced uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimatior for unknown parameters of Pareto PD. [10] studied consistency of some estimators, he suggested different popular techniues for inference. [4] discussed best linear unbiased estimates, [3] estimated PD unknown parameters using generalized median estimator. Estimation of parameters from PD through order statistics some other ordered rom variables illustrated by [1] [13]. Distribution of sum, product or ratios of rom variables is an important issues of reliability distribution theory which considered by many authors. [] studied distribution of ratios of generalized life distribution, [7] derived distribution of ratio of two normal rom variables. Also, Kotz type distributions was studied by [8] about ratios. The present paper has focused on point estimations based on GOS from PD. Ratios of GOS has been studied related distributions has obtained. Moment estimator based on ratios Pareto rom variables Unbiased estimator have been employed in the present paper. To investigate consistency of the unbiased estimato single product moments for GOS of PD have been calculated. Numerical results for comparison of the estimators have been computed. Illustrative example based on real data from iranian rural household income is also given. The rest of paper is organized as follows: Section includes ratio distribution of GOS from PD. inferences about parameters of PD have been discussed in Section 3. Sections 4 5 include numerical results conclusions, respectively. Distribution of ratios of GOS from PD Theorem.1 Let r s denote r th s th GOS having Pareto as underlying distribution. Then r a s distributed as beta with parameters s where r < s. γ s Proof. For simplicity, define x r = r x s = s. Considering R = x r x s Q = x s, it has been obtained, X r = QR X s = Q, so Jacobian has been computed J = 1 0 R Q = Q. Using 1.3 joint distribution of Q = R = R can be written as f Q,R, R = f Xr,X s R, = C s 1 m + 1 s ΓrΓs r F m R [ ] 1 F r 1 R [ F R F ] s r 1 F γs 1 frf..6 Using , above relation can be rewritten as f Q,R, R = 1 s r 1 α α C s 1 m + 1 s ΓrΓs r αγr α 1 R α 1 [ 1 R α] s r 1 [ ] α r 1 1 R α..7 In order to compute the distribution of R, integration from.7 with respect to is needed. Integral limits can be calculated, since X r < X s

3 M. Rajaei Salmasi et al. /IJIM Vol. 9, No we have R < 1 so it can be obtaied b R > b, furthermore, it is known that b < Q, so it is been concluded b < b R < Q, so taking integral as follows, f R R = where, [ gr 1 R α 1 αγr α R α ] r 1,.8 gr = 1 s r 1 α α C s 1 m + 1 s ΓrΓs r R α 1 [ 1 R α] s r 1. To get the solution of.8, following change of variable has been considered z = 1 it can be written f R R = grhr where hr = α R α, 1 0 z r 1 1 z γr 1 z, Rα, so we have α α f R R = grhr, m where, a, b = ΓaΓb Γa+b is beta function. According to the fact, relation 1. is a density function, integration based on it over the support of the rom variable X euals to 1, therefore, = 1, so we have C r 1 Γr r C r 1 Γrm + 1 r =..10 m + 1 Using recent eulity relations +1 = α+1 1 αs r 1 = αγ s 1, DF of R could be written as γ αc s 1 r f R R = m + 1 s 1 ΓrΓs r R αγs 1 [ 1 R α] s r By change of variable W = R α, using euality Γ s r + γs j = = r + 1s γ j Γ γs m + 1 s r, we get to γ C s 1 r m + 1 s ΓrΓs r = 1, γs, s r which completes the proof. Theorem. Let r denotes r th GOS based on Pareto distribution with parameters α. r Then r 1 has Pareto distribution with parameters α. Proof. Using 1.3, transformations U = z = r 1, it can be r written f s u, z = r 1 zc r 1 m + 1 r Γr 1 [ αm ] α r 1 z z αγr 1 α α z α+1 γr uz α+1. uz Following transformation has been assumed h = α, z after some calculation it been obtained fu = α αm+α C r 1 m + 1 r Γr 1 αγr 1 u α+1 u αγr 1 γ α+1 r αm + 1 α mα alpha+1 1 which gives the proof of theorem, 0 h γr+ 1 1 h r h, f U u = α α u α+1, u >..1

Method of Moments GOS Moment Unbiased ˆα ˆ ˆα ˆ k = 1, m = 0 3 Inference 3.1 GOS moments of Pareto distribution It is well known that the expectation value variance of PD 1.4 are respectively, V arx = EX = α α 1 α α 1 α α > α > 1, 3.14 second moment of PD can be derived by as follows: EX = α α α > 3.15 In order to compute GOS moments of PD, it is necessary to obtain distribution of GOS from PD. Using 1., , PDF of rth GOS from PD can be presented as: f r x = ααγr C r 1 Γrm + 1 r 1 x > Based on 3.16, t th moment is given by E r t = x t f r xx, taking integral leads to the following relation, C r 1 E r t = t Γrm + 1 r Setting t=0 leads to can be rewritten as: E r t = t α t m + 1α Using.10, relation α t α First second moments can be obtained by setting t = 1, in the relation 3.18, therefore we get to: E r = α 1 α E r = αγr α, Variance of GOS from PD can be calculated as V ar r = [ α α αγr 1 α 3. Method of moments ]. 3.1 In order to get the moment estimators of unknown parameters of PD, we have to consider following relations, EX = X, EX = X, 3. where X = 1 n n i=1 x i X = 1 n n i=1 x i Method of moments using PD Using 3.13, , it can be obtained = α 1 α x, = α α x. 3.3 Using 3.3 simple calculation moment estimators of α could be achieved respectively: x ˆα m = 1 + x x, 3.4 ˆ m = ˆα m 1 ˆα m x. 3.5

6 96 M. Rajaei Salmasi et al. /IJIM Vol. 9, No Method of moments using GOS from PD Using Theorem. similar to the 3..1, moment estimator of α could be obtained based on GOS from PD. According to relations 3., , clearly it can be written E where E X r X r 1 X r X r 1 = αγ r α 1 = Y, 3.6 = αγ3 r α = Y, α >, ny = γ 1 Y 1 + ny = γ 1 Y 1 + n i= n i= X i γ i X i 1 X i γ i X i 1,, 3.7 furthermore, Y i, i = 1,,, n are GOS from PD. Therefore, moment estimator for α based on GOS can be obtained as: Y ˆα gm = 1 + Y Y. 3.3 Unbiased estimation At this subsection has been estimated through unbiased estimator when α has been assumed to be known. Considering 3.19, it can be written where, Gα, r = r E =, 3.8 Gα, r αγr 1 α γr r Gα,r, therefore, it can be concluded ˆ Unb = is the unbiased estimator of. In order to evaluate consistency of the estimato variance can be computed. Using 3.1, variance of unbiased estimator can be obtained, V ar ˆUnb = 1 G α, r varr. 4 Numerical study 4.1 Simulated DATA For comparison performances of methods evaluation of estimators in different circumstances numerical study are considered. different samples with different sample sizes n = 10, 50, 100, values k=1,,6 m=0,,5 also with parameter values of α =.5, = 3.5 are derived based on algorithm discussed in [1]. 5 Conclusion In this paper distribution of ratios of GOS from PD were obtained. Single moments of were derived based on them moment estimators for PD unknown parameters were constructed. Using ratio distribution moment inference was done. Unbiased estimator based on moments of PD through GOS was derived, consistency of estimator was studied. To compare of methods different parameter values the numerical studies were presented. Based on numerical results following conclusions are obtained: Table 1 shows that when sample size increases, the MSE of both unknown parameters of PD estimated based on method of moments is low, so the estimators give better performances. Table 1 showed that the estimators based on GOS are better than the others. Based on GOS method of moments when n m increase simultaneously estimator gives better performances. Table shows that when n increases k decreases, estimator slightly performs good. Unbiased estimator gives better results when n k increase. Table shows that unbiased estimator of gets close to real parameter value, while n is growing, variance of estimator is decreasing, so unbiased estimator is asymptotically consistent.
