Maadooliat and k F (x) = F (x;a,b, µ,,k) = B(a,b) { 1 a 1 i=0 [ 1 + ( ) ( 1) i a 1 1 i kb + ik ( )] } x µ (kb+ik), (1.2) where a, b,, k are all poitive parameter, µ i a hift parameter and B(α, β) = 1 0 xα 1 (1 x) β 1 dx. The author tate that their ditribution i new and invetigate ome of it propertie. Thi ditribution, however, i a pecial cae of the one introduced by Paranaíba et al.

Letting c = 1 and introducing a hift parameter µ, (1.3) reduce to (1.1). Both paper have certain formula for Reliability and Hazard function of their repective ditribution. Rajab et al. obtain an expreion for the r th moment of the random variable with pdf (1.1) for the pecial cae of a = 1. Thi pecial cae, clearly, make the computation quite eay and traightforward. On the other hand, Paranaíba et al. preent (a) everal important propertie of the random variable with pdf (1.3); (b) derive it moment generating function; (c) dicu other meaure, uch a: mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve; (d) order tatitic and moment; (e) maximum likelihood etimation; ( f ) imulation tudy; (g) a Bayeian analyi; and (h) an application of their ditribution. In the next ection we preent certain characterization of Beta Burr XII (BBXII) ditribution. Clearly, thee characterization will hold if the hift parameter µ i introduced a well. 2. Characterization In deigning a tochatic model for a particular modeling problem, an invetigator will be vitally intereted to know if their model fit the requirement of a pecific underlying probability ditribution. To thi end, the invetigator will rely on the characterization of the elected ditribution.

4 Beta Burr XII: Remark and Characterization field and ha recently attracted the attention of many reearcher. Conequently, variou characterization reult have been reported in the literature. Thee characterization have been etablihed in many different direction. The preent work deal with the characterization of (BBXII) ditribution. Thee characterization are baed on: (i) a imple relationhip between two truncated moment; (ii) truncated moment of certain function of the n th order tatitic; (iii) truncated moment of certain function of the random variable Characterization baed on two truncated moment In thi ubection we preent characterization of (BBXII) ditribution in term of a imple relationhip between two truncated moment. We like to mention here the work of Glänzel (1987, 1990), Glänzel and Hamedani (2001) and Hamedani (2002, 2006, 2010), among other, in thi direction. A in Hamedani work, our characterization reult preented here will employ the reult due to Glänzel (1987) (Theorem 2.1 below). Following Hamedani, we like to mention that the advantage of thi characterization i two fold: it relate the cdf or pdf of a ditribution to the olution of a firt order differential equation and doe not require that the cdf to have a imple format. Theorem 2.1. Let (Ω,F,P) be a given probability pace and let H = [a,b] be an interval for ome a < b (a =, b = might a well be allowed). Let X : Ω H be a continuou random variable with the ditribution function F and let g and h be two real function defined on H uch that E[g(X) X x] = E[h(X) X x]η (x), x H, i defined with ome real function η. Aume that g, h C 1 (H), η C 2 (H) and F i twice continuouly differentiable and trictly monotone function on the et H. Finally, aume that the equation hη = g ha no real olution in the interior of H. Then F i uniquely determined by the function g, h and η, particularly x F (x) = C η (u) a η (u)h(u) g(u) exp( (u)) du, where the function i a olution of the differential equation = η h η h g and C i a contant, choen to make H df = 1. Again following Glänzel and Hamedani (2001), we like to mention that thi kind of characterization baed on the ratio of truncated moment i table in the ene of weak convergence, in particular, let u aume that there i a equence {X n } of random variable with ditribution function {F n } uch that the function g n, h n and η n (n N) atify the condition of Theorem 2.1 and let g n g, h n h for ome continuouly differentiable real function g and h. Let, finally, X be a random variable with ditribution F. Under the condition that g n (X) and h n (X) are uniformly integrable and the family {F n } i relatively compact, the equence X n converge to X in ditribution if and only if η n converge to η, where η (x) = E [g(x) X x] E [h(x) X x]. Thi tability theorem make ure that the convergence of ditribution function i reflected by correponding convergence of the function g, h and η, repectively. It guarantee, for intance, the Publihed by Atlanti Pre Copyright: the author 107

A further conequence of the tability property of Theorem 2.1 i the application of thi theorem to pecial tak in tatitical practice uch a the etimation of the parameter of dicrete ditribution. For uch purpoe, the function g, h and, pecially, η hould be a imple a poible. Since the function triplet i not uniquely determined it i often poible to chooe η a a linear function. Therefore, it i worth analyzing ome pecial cae which help to find new characterization reflecting the relationhip between individual continuou univariate ditribution and appropriate in other area of tatitic. Propoition 2.1. Let X : Ω (0, ) be a continuou random variable and let h(x) = { 1 [ 1 + ( ) x c ] } k 1 a [1 ( + x ) c ] { kb and g(x) = 1 [ 1 + ( ) x c ] } k 1 a, for x (0, ). The pdf of X i (1.3) if and only if the function η defined in Theorem 2.1 ha the form ) c ] kb η (x) = for x > 0. Proof. Let X have denity (1.3), then (1 F (x)) E[h(X) X x] = 1 ) c ] 2kb 1 +, x > 0, 2bB(α,β) and (1 F (x)) E[g(X) X x] = 1 ) c ] kb 1 +, x > 0, bb(α,β) and finally { ) c ] } k 1 a η (x)h(x) g(x) = > 0 for x > 0. Converely, if η i given a above, then (x) = η (x)h(x) η (x) h(x) g(x) = 2bck ) c ] 1 c x c 1 1 +, x > 0, and hence ) c ] } 2bk (x) = ln{ 1 +, x > 0. Now, in view of Theorem 2.1, X ha denity (1.3). Corollary 2.1. Let X : Ω (0, ) be a continuou random variable and let h(x) be a in Propoition 2.1.

Then E [ψ (X n:n ) X n:n < t] = q(t), t > 0, (2.1) implie { q } (t) F (x) = exp x n[ψ (t) q(t)] dt, x 0.
