          In this work, the authors proposed a four parameter potentiated lifetime model named as Transmuted Exponentiated Moment Pareto (TEMP) distribution and discussed numerous characteristic measures of proposed model. Parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and performance of these estimates is also assessed by simulations study. Four suitable lifetime datasets are modeled by the TEMP distribution and the results support that the proposed model provides much better results as compared to its sub-models.

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>
        An Italian Economist and civil engineer, Pareto (1848-1923) introduced the Power law. This law is also known as Pareto Power law and shortly turned into Pareto distribution. Unequal distribution of wealth in society was major cause to establish the Power law. 80% wealth of the population is distributed in 20% population. Thus it is also known as 80 - 20 rule and is stated as N = γx<sup>−k</sup> where N is the number of individuals with income higher than x for k &gt; 0. Under social constraints of taxation and other conditions this law is proved to be inevitable and universal. Many empirical phenomena are explained by Pareto distribution. Flexibility of Pareto distribution attracted the researchers to develop models by mixing Pareto distribution with other distributions.

      <p>
        Alzaatreh et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref1">1</xref>] developed Gamma Pareto distribution. Bourguignon et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref2">2</xref>] introduced the modified form of Pareto distribution presented as “The Kumaraswamy-Pareto distribution”. Nasiru and Luguterah [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref3">3</xref>] worked on “The New Weibull-Pareto distribution”. Shafiq [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref4">4</xref>] derived the classical and Bayesian approach on fuzzy observations to draw inference for Pareto distribution and also discussed its characterization and reliability behavior. Exponentiated generalized (EG) class is used by Andrade and Zea [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref5">5</xref>] to extend the Pareto distribution. Numerous mathematical properties are developed and discussed as well as two real time data sets are modeled by it.
      </p>
      <p>
        Moment probability distribution or weighted distribution is introduced by Fisher [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref6">6</xref>] in the context of unequal probability sampling. Mir and Ahmad [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref7">7</xref>] developed some size biased discrete distributions and also discussed their generalized cases. Dara [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref8">8</xref>] developed the weighted form of various life time distributions including special cases of size biased distributions with their reliability analysis. Weighted Weibull distribution is size-biased (SWWD) by Perveen and Ahmad [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref9">9</xref>] . They discussed various characteristic measures and three life data sets are modeled by SWWD.
      </p>
      <p>
        Exponentiated CDF of a probability distribution is expressed as Exponentiated Distribution (ED). Gompertz [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref10">10</xref>] used ED to compare the growth model of the population versus table of human mortality. Hasnain and Ahmad [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref11">11</xref>] proposed and developed the exponentiated moment form of exponential distribution (EME) and discussed its various properties. Fatima and Roohi [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref12">12</xref>] developed a transmuted form of exponentiated Pareto-I distribution and discussed the increasing and decreasing behavior of hazard rate as well as derived some of its properties. Mansour et al. constructed the Kumaraswamy form of exponentiated Frechet distribution (Kw-EFr) and 27 special cases are developed. Different mathematical properties and real time dataset are modeled by Kw-EFr.

        Shaw and Buckley [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref13">13</xref>] developed Quadratic Rank Transmutation Map (QRTM) to discover new family of non-Gaussian distributions. Let G(x) and g(x) are CDF and PDF of base distribution. Proposed QRTM distribution is

        Merovci and Puka [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref14">14</xref>] proposed the transmuted form of Pareto distribution and discussed various properties along with its reliability behavior. Saboor et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref15">15</xref>] derived and studied the various structural properties and reliability measures of the transmuted form of exponential-Weibull distribution (TEW). Khan et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref16">16</xref>] discussed the shape and hazard function of transmuted Kumaraswamy distribution (TK-w) and derived some of its properties. Various properties are discussed in Size-Biased version of Exponential distribution that is transmuted by Hussain et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref17">17</xref>] .
      </p>
      <p>The authors divided the structure of the article into several sections as follows: Section 2 describes the CDF, PDF and special cases of proposed distribution. In Section 3 and 4, various reliability measures, moments and order statistics are discussed. Quantile function, different descriptive statistics and R&#233;nyi entropy are discussed in Section 5. Simulations study is conducted to observe the behavior of MLE estimates in Section 6 while parameters of TEMP distribution are derived by the method of MLE along with two life time data sets are modeled in Section 7. Final conclusion is reported in Section 8.</p>

        3) For k − 1 = β, α = 1, the distribution reduces to Transmuted Pareto distribution and was developed by Merovci and Puka [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.89591-ref14">14</xref>] .

      <p>TEMP distribution is developed on the basis that it provides more flexible results on highly right skewed datasets. Flexibility of TEMP distribution is assessed by comparing TEMP distribution with Pareto distribution and its related sub model (Transmuted Pareto distribution).</p>

      <title>6. Simulation Study of TEMP Distribution</title>
      <p>In order to assess the behavior of estimates derived by the method of MLE from TEMP distribution, a small scaled experiment is carried out based on simulations study. Performance of MLE is evaluated on the basis of mean square errors (MSEs). For this we generate size n = 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 samples from Equation (5.3) and results are achieved by 1000 simulations. Statistical software R is used to develop the empirical results.</p>

        <xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="table2">Table 2</xref> are representing consistent and efficient performance of the estimates produced by MLE and these estimates are quite close to the true parameter values for entire n. The decreasing behavior of mean square errors justify that the MLE works quite well for TEMP distribution (<xref ref-type="table" rid="table3">Table 3</xref>, <xref ref-type="table" rid="table4">Table 4</xref>).

      <title>8. Conclusions</title>
      <p>In this article, authors have developed a new four parameter model named Transmuted Exponentiated Moment Pareto (TEMP) distribution. Numerous mathematical properties of TEMP distribution are discussed. TEMP distribution is modeled by four suitable lifetime data sets. Authors calculate the values of -LL and information criterion (AIC, BIC, A, W, K-S) on data set 1 to 4. TEMP</p>

        <p>distribution is compared with its sub-models. Based on the minimum value of -LL and information criterion it is concluded that TEMP distribution is most favorable fit distribution as compared to its sub-models Transmuted Pareto (TP) and Pareto distribution.</p>
        <p>In future numerous properties of Bayesian analysis of TEMP distribution will be studied.</p>
