Department of Information Technology, Faculty of Computer Science and information technology, Alneelain University Abstract Generalized Gamma distribution is useful in analyzing several data sets, which arising into places at image processing, speech recognition, signal processing, statistical quality control, agricultural experimentation, light wave modeling, industrial experimentation and biological experiments. This paper present a new bounded generalized gamma model, which includes bounded Gaussian model, bounded Laplace model, and bounded Gamma model as special cases. This new distribution has a flexibility to fit different shapes of observed data such as non- Gaussian and bounded support data. The various distribution properties such as the distribution function, moments, skewness, kurtosis, hazard function, survival function, the r th order statistic and the median distributions are derived. In order to estimate the model parameters, the moment and maximum likelihood estimation are studied. We quantify the performance of bounded generalized gamma model with simulations and real data. It is shown via Kolmogorov-Smirnov test that the probability mass function based on the Bounded Generalized Gamma Model are the most suitable distributions in our simulation. Keywords :bounded generalized gamma model, BGM: bounded Gaussian model, BLM :bounded Laplace model, M:bounded Gamma model, KST:.Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test 7

2 1. Introduction Truncated distributions arise in many practical situations, particularly in numerous industrial settings [3, 4, 6,7, 8, 10, 11, 12]. Truncated distributions can also be used to model intensity statistics in the study of atomic heterogeneity [1].Field, Harder, and Harrison [9] showed that measured traffic from three locations on a state-of-the-art switched Ethernet fit closely various truncated distributions. K. Anithakumari, K. Srinivas Rao and PRS Reddy [18 ] introduced and derived a right truncated generalized Gaussian distribution and its various properties. K. Anithakumari1, K. Srinivas Rao, and P. R. S. Reddy [19 ] studied a left truncated generalized Gaussian distribution and its various properties. L. Zaninetti[16] introduced an upper and a lower boundary to truncated gamma distribution. The parameters which characterize the truncated gamma distribution are evaluated [16]. In [ 2,5,13,17 ] the truncated (below zero) normal distribution is considered, Some existing results are surveyed, and a recursive moment formula is used to derive the first four central moments in terms of the mean and variance of the underlying normal and in terms of lower moments of the truncated distribution. Bounding and monotonicity of the moments of the truncated distribution are considered and some previously unknown features of the distribution are presented[ 16 ]. This paper present a new bounded generalized gamma model ( ), which includes the previously studied distributions as special cases. The estimation of parameters of the presented distribution are derived. Some other related distributions and properties are also studied. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the two sided generalized gamma distribution. In Section 3 the various distribution properties such as the distribution function, moments, skewness, kurtosis, hazard function, survival function, the r th order statistic, the median distributions, the distribution of the r th order statistics and the median distribution are also 8

3 derived, estimate of the model parameters using the moment and maximum likelihood estimation are studied. Simulation illustrating the reliable performance of the method are given in section 4. Finally, section 5 concludes the paper. 2. Two sided Generalized Gamma Distribution The probability density function of the two sided generalized gamma is[14] (1) Where denotes the gamma function and are positive real valued parameters. When or the generalized gamma reduces to the standard gamma distribution. Furthermore, if, it becomes the Gaussian pdf, and if it representsthe Laplacian pdf. When one obtains the weibull distribution, and as the distribution approaches the lognormal. In fact, cannot be specified when the argument equals zero exactly. For that reason, zero inputs are ignored during the parameter estimation procedure and also in the calculation of measures of fit. 3. Bounded two sided Generalized Gamma Model Suppose we have a continuous distribution with probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) specified by g( ) and G( ), respectively. Let X be a random variable representing the truncated version of this distribution over the interval [a, b]. The pdf of X are given by (2) Where g(x) is the two sided generalized gamma defined in equation (1) and G(z) is the cumulative distribution function of two sided generalized gamma distribution defined as follows: ) (3) Where is incomplete gamma function defined by 9

The probability density function of s th order statistics is given by [15], (19) The probability density function of the first order statistics is obtained by substituting s =1 in the equation (19) (20) If n is odd. The distribution of the median is obtained by substituting in equation (19 ) 14

(22) (23) (24) By solving the equations (22), (23) and (24) using fsolve in matlab one can obtain the estimated parameters Maximum Likelihood Method of Estimation The parameters should be estimated to test the goodness of fit or to take advantage of the assumed pdf for various applications. Here, we apply the ML criterion to estimate the parameters of Given n data, with the assumption that the data are mutually independent, the log-likelihood function is given as follows: (25) 15

10 By differentiating the log-likelihood function with respect to we obtain the following three equations and setting them to zero, (26) (27) (28) Where (29) Where is the digamma function, which denotes the first order derivative of. Where the function T is defined by the meiger-g function which is defined by the contour integral [5] (30) (31) By solving the equations (26), (27) and (28) Using fsolve in matlab one can obtain the estimated parameters 4. Experiment In this experiment, two artificial random samples and one real life data are studied. The artificial random samples are generated from the truncated generalized gamma distribution with parameters (1,2,1 ), (1,2, 2). The real life data represents an image. Which shown in figure 8.
