We propose a new generator of continuous distributions with at least four positive parameters called the Kumaraswamy-Odd Rayleigh-G family. Some special cases were presented. The plots of the Kumaraswamy Odd Rayleigh Log-Logistic ( KORLL ) distribution indicate that the distribution can take many shapes depending on the parameter values. The negative skewness and kurtosis indicates that the distribution has li ghter tails than the normal distribution. The Monte Carlo simulation results indicate that the estimated biases decrease when the sample size increases. Furthermore, the root mean squared error estimates decay towards zero as the sample size increases. This part shows the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators. From the considered analytical measures, the new KORLL provides the best fit to the analysed five real data sets indicating that this new model outclasses its competitors.
Researchers use different approaches to induct additional parameters to a continuous class of distributions, ostensibly because in many applications, these classical probability distributions do not fit real life data. In other words, all of these approaches extend the classical baseline probability distributions by introducing additional parameter(s) to the baselines, thereby making the extended baselines much more flexible to fit wide range of data from practical situations. With this approach, several generalized families of distributions have been proposed and applied to real life data in areas such as engineering, life sciences, environmental sciences, finance and medical sciences.
Recently, there are a lot of attempts in the statistics literature to generalize distributions. This generalization is mainly on a methodology proposed by many researchers, as in [
The objective of this paper is to propose a new family of distribution called the Kumaraswamy Odd Rayleigh-G family of distributions which has the capacity of providing more robust compound probability distribution when used in modelling real life data set. This new family adds three additional parameters to the baseline distribution.
The rest of this article is structured as follows: In Section 2, we defined the Kumaraswamy Odd-Rayleigh-G Family. In Section 3, we derive some models based on the KORG family. In Section 4 we present the estimation method used in estimating the parameters of non-linear models. We conduct a Monte Carlo simulation study using a Kumaraswamy Odd-Rayleigh Log-Logistic (KORLLD) model in Section 5. In Section 6, we apply the new model of KORG family to five real life datasets and compare their performance with some existing distributions. Lastly, Section7 concludes the paper.
Attempts have been made to define new families of probability distributions which enhance the flexibility in practical data modeling of well known baseline distributions. In the spirit of the T-X approach by [
F ( x ) = ∫ a f ( H ( x ) ) z ( t ) d t (1)
where f ( H ( x ) ) is the function of the baseline cdf H(x) of any continous random variable X. The function f ( H ( x ) ) must satisfy the following conditions
(a) f ( H ( x ) ) ∈ ( a , b ) ;
(b) f ( H ( x ) ) is non-decreasing and monotonically differentiable;
(c) f ( H ( x ) ) tends to a as x tends to − ∞ ;
(d) f ( H ( x ) ) tends to b as x tends to ∞ .
Let T be a random variable which is continuous with probability density function (pdf) z(t) defined on the close interval [a,b].
In 2011, [
f K G ( x ) = 2 λ g ( x ; ζ ) G ( x ; ζ ) α − 1 [ 1 − G ( x ; ζ ) α ] λ − 1 , x > 0 , α , λ , ζ > 0 (2)
F K G ( x ) = 1 − [ 1 − G ( x ; ζ ) α ] λ , x > 0 , α , λ , ζ > 0 (3)
where G ( x ; ζ ) and g ( x ; ζ ) are the cdf and pdf of the baseline distribution with parameter vector ζ .
The Odd Rayleigh-G family has pdf and cdf given by
f O R ( x ) = g ( x ; β ) G ( x ; β ) δ 2 [ G ¯ ( x ; β ) ] 3 exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } , x > 0 , δ , β > 0 (4)
F O R ( x ) = 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } , x > 0 , δ , β > 0 (5)
where G ¯ ( x , β ) = 1 − G ( x , β ) .
Lemma I
The cdf of the proposed KORG family of distributions is given by
F K O R G ( x ) = 1 − { 1 − [ 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } ] α } λ , x > 0 , α , λ > 0 (6)
where x > 0 , α , λ , δ > 0 the vector β _ is the parameter of the baseline distribution G ( x , β ) and G ¯ ( x , β ) = 1 − G ( x , β ) .
Proof
From Equation (1),
F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = ∫ 0 F O R ( x , δ , β ) α λ f O R ( t ; δ , β ) [ F O R ( t ; δ , β ) ] α − 1 [ 1 − { F O R ( t , δ , β ) } α ] λ − 1 d t (7)
let
y = 1 − { F O R ( t , δ , β ) } α
d y = − α { F O R ( t , δ , β ) } α − 1 f O R ( t , δ , β ) d t
if t → 0 , the y → 1 and if t → x , y → 1 − { F O R ( x , δ , β ) } α . So,
F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = − ∫ 1 1 − { F O R ( x , δ , β ) } α λ y λ − 1 d y
F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = − y λ I 1 1 − { F O R ( x ; δ , β ) } α (8)
and
F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = 1 − [ 1 − { F O R ( x ; δ , β ) } α ] λ (9)
and this can be written as
F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = 1 − [ + 1 − { 1 − e x p ( − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 ) } α ] λ (10)
whence the proof. if x → 0 , F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) → 0 and if
x → ∞ , F K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = 1 − [ 1 − 1 α ] = 1
From Equation (7), the pdf of the KORG family can be written as
f K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) = α λ f O R ( x ; δ , β ) [ F O R ( x ; δ , β ) ] α − 1 [ 1 − { F O R ( x ; δ , β ) } α ] λ − 1 (11)
And substituting Equations (4) and (5) in to 11 yields
f K O R G ( x ) = α λ g ( x ; β ) G ( x ; β ) δ 2 [ G ¯ ( x ; β ) ] 3 exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } × [ 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } ] α − 1 × [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } } α ] λ − 1 , x > 0 , α , λ > 0 (12)
Similarly, differentiating Equation (6) with respect to x will also yield Equation (12).
∫ 0 ∞ f K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) d x
Let y = 1 − { 1 − exp ( − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 ) } α Then
d y d x = − α g ( x ; β ) G ( x ; β ) δ 2 [ G ¯ ( x ; β ) ] 3 exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } × [ 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) 2 } ] α − 1
and if x = 0 , then y = [ 1 − ( 1 − exp ( 0 ) ) α ] = 1
if x = ∞ , then y = [ 1 − ( 1 − exp ( − ∞ ) ) α ] = 0
therefore
∫ 0 ∞ f K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) d x = − ∫ 1 0 λ y λ − 1 d y = − y λ I 1 0 = 1
∴ ∫ 0 ∞ f K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) d x = 1
which showed that f K O R G ( x ; α , λ , δ , β ) is a pdf for the continous random variable X. The Hazard function ( h f K O R G ) and survival function ( s f K O R G ) of the KORG family can be given as
h f K O R G ( x ) = α λ g ( x ; β ) G ( x ; β ) δ 2 [ G ¯ ( x ; β ) ] 3 [ [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 } } α ] λ ] × exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 } [ 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 } ] α − 1 × [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 } } α ] λ − 1 , x > 0 , α , λ > 0 (13)
and
s f K O R G = [ 1 − { 1 − exp ( − 1 2 δ 2 ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) 2 ) } α ] λ (14)
Quantile Function of KORGThe quantile function of KROG model can be given as
Q ( u ) = G − 1 { 1 1 + [ − 2 δ 2 log ( 1 − [ 1 − ( 1 − u ) 1 λ ] 1 α ) ] − 1 2 } (15)
where G − 1 is the quantile function of the baseline distribution.
In this section, we considered two submodels of KORG family: Kumaraswamy Odd Rayleigh Log-Logistic (KORLL) and Kumaraswamy Odd Rayleigh Inverse Rayleigh (KORIR) distributions.
The cdf and pdf of log-logistic (LL) distribution are given as
G ( x ; τ ) = x τ 1 + x τ
and
g ( x ; τ ) = τ x τ ( 1 + x τ ) 2 , τ > 0 , x > 0
The quantile function of the LL distribution is given by
Q L L ( u ) = ( u − 1 − 1 ) − 1 τ
where u is uniformly distributed in the interval (0, 1). Then, the KORLL distributon has the cdf given by:
F K O R L L ( x ; α , λ , τ , δ ) = 1 − { 1 − [ 1 − e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } ] α } λ (16)
The corresponding pdf of Equation (16) is given below:
f K O R L L ( x ; α , λ , τ , δ ) = α λ τ x 2 τ − 1 δ 2 e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } [ 1 − e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } ] α − 1 { 1 − [ 1 − e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } ] α } λ − 1 (17)
The hazard function (hf), and survival function (sf) are presented below:
h f K O R L L ( x ) = α λ τ x 2 τ − 1 δ 2 e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } [ 1 − e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } ] α − 1 × { 1 − [ 1 − e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } ] α } − 1 (18)
s f K O R L L ( x ) = { 1 − [ 1 − e x p { − x 2 τ 2 δ 2 } ] α } λ (19)

y = 1 1 + [ − 2 δ 2 log ( 1 − [ 1 − ( 1 − u ) 1 λ ] 1 α ) ] − 1 2 (20)
then the random variable x defined as
x = ( y − 1 − 1 ) − 1 τ (21)
has a kumaraswamy odd Rayleigh-Log-Logistic distribution i.e. x ~ K O R L L ( α , λ , δ , τ ) . And when α = λ = 1 , x is distributed as O R L L ( δ , τ ) .

The skewness and kurtosis of the KORLL distribution can easily be computed from the quantile function using the relation: the Bowley’s skewness (by [
S = Q ( 3 4 ) − 2 Q ( 1 2 ) + Q ( 1 4 ) Q ( 3 4 ) − Q ( 1 4 ) (22)
And the Moor’s Kurtosis by [

The cdf and pdf of the baseline Inverse Rayleigh distribution are given as

when u is uniformly distributed. The cdf and pdf of KORIR distribution is given as

Quantile Function of KORIRLemma III
Let the random variable u be uniformly distributed on ( 0,1 ) . Define the random variable y as in Equation (20), then the random variable x 1 defined as
x 1 = { − β log ( y ) } 1 2 (26)
has a kumaraswamy odd Rayleigh-Inverse Rayleigh distribution i.e. x ~ K O R I R ( α , λ , δ , β ) . And when α = λ = 1 , x is distributed as R O L L ( δ , β ) .
The parameters of the KORG family are estimated in this section using the method of maximum likelihood. Given a random sample of x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , x 4 , ⋯ , x n of size n with parameters α , λ , δ and β from KORG family of distribution, the pdf of KORG can written as
f K O R G ( x ) = α λ g ( x ; β ) G ( x ; β ) δ 2 [ G ¯ ( x ; β ) ] 3 exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } [ 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } ] α − 1 × [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α ] λ − 1 (27)
where Z β = ( G ( x , β ) G ¯ ( x , β ) ) .
Let ϑ = ( α , λ , δ , β ) T be the (p × 1) parameter vector, then the log-likelihood function based on Equation (25) is given by
l ( ϑ ) = n log ( α λ δ 2 ) + ∑ i = 1 n log ( g ( x ; β ) ) + ∑ i = 1 n log ( G ( x ; β ) ) − 3 ∑ i = 1 n log ( G ¯ ( x ; β ) ) − ∑ i = 1 n Z β 2 2 δ 2 ( α − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n log ( 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } ) + ( λ − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n log ( 1 − { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α ) (28)
Partially differentiating the likelihood function yields the components of the score function U ( ϑ ) = ( ∂ l ∂ α , ∂ l ∂ λ , ∂ l ∂ δ , ∂ l ∂ β ) T as follows
∂ l ∂ α = n α + ∑ i = 1 n log ( 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } ) + ( λ − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n Z β Z ′ β exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α − 1 δ 2 [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α ] (29)
∂ l ∂ λ = n λ + ∑ i = 1 n log ( 1 − { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α ) (30)
∂ l ∂ δ = − 2 n δ + ∑ i = 1 n Z β 2 δ 3 + ( α − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n Z β 2 exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } δ 3 ( 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } ) + ( λ − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n α Z β 2 exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α − 1 δ 3 [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α ] (31)
∂ l ∂ β = ∑ i = 1 n g ′ m ( x ; β ) g ( x ; β ) + ∑ i = 1 n G ′ m ( x ; β ) G ( x ; β ) − 3 ∑ i = 1 n G ¯ ′ m ( x ; β ) G ¯ ( x ; β ) − ∑ i = 1 n Z β Z ′ β δ 2 + ( α − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n Z β Z ′ β exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } δ 2 [ 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } ] + ( λ − 1 ) ∑ i = 1 n α Z β Z ′ β exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α − 1 δ 2 [ 1 − { 1 − exp { − Z β 2 2 δ 2 } } α ] (32)
where Z ′ β = d Z β d β , g ′ m ( x ; β ) = d g ( x ; β ) d β , G ′ m ( x ; β ) = d G ( x ; β ) d β , and G ¯ ′ m ( x ; β ) = d G ¯ ( x ; β ) d β .
The estimators of the parameters can be obtained by setting Equations (29)-(32) to zero and solving numerically using Newton Rapson or any other iterative methods.

extensions of the log-logistic distributions presented.
In this paper, a new family of distributions called the Kumaraswamy Odd Rayleigh G family which introduced three additional parameters to the baseline distribution is proposed and studied. This new family gives more flexibility and proved best fit, to a wide range of data from practical situations. The Monte Carlo simulation results indicated that the simulated values of the parameters of the sub-model of this family approached the true values as the sample size increases. Also, the root mean squared error estimates decay towards zero as the sample size becomes large. These facts suggest the consistency of the estimates. Based on the considered analytical measures, we concluded that the proposed family represented in this study by the Kumaraswamy Odd Rayleigh Log-Logistic distribution provided the best fit to the 5 analysed real life data sets, some of which are the survival times of 121 patients with Breast cancer and death times (in weeks) of patients with cancer of tongue with aneuploidy DNA profile.
