New Distribution

A new continuous distribution is proposed in this paper. This distribution is a generalization of Mukherjee-Islam distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map. It is called transmuted Mukherjee-Islam distribution (TMID). We have studied many properties of the new distribution: Reliability and hazard rate functions. The descriptive statistics: mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis are also studied. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the distribution parameters. Order statistics and Renyi and Tsallis entropies were also calculated. Furthermore, the quantile function and the median are calculated.

Weak Notion

In this paper we introduce and study a dynamic notion of mean residual life (mrl) functions in the context of multivariate reliability theory. Basic properties of these functions are derived and their relationship to the multivariate conditional hazard rate functions is studied. A partial ordering, called the mrl ordering, of non-negative random vectors is introduced and its basic properties are presented. Its relationship to stochastic ordering and to other related orderings (such as hazard rate ordering) is pointed out. Using this ordering it is possible to introduce a weak notion of positive dependence of random lifetimes. Some properties of this positive dependence notion are given. Finally, using the mrl ordering, a dynamic notion of multivariate DMRL (decreasing mean residual life) is introduced and studied. The relationship of this multivariate DMRL notion to other notions of dynamic multivariate aging is highlighted in this paper.

Important Notion

The relative aging is an important notion which is useful to measure how a system ages relative to another one. Among the existing stochastic orders, there are two important orders describing the relative aging of two systems, namely, aging faster orders in the cumulative hazard and the cumulative reversed hazard rate functions. In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions under which one coherent system ages faster than another one with respect to the aforementioned stochastic orders. Further, we show that the proposed sufficient conditions are satisfied for k-out-of-n systems. Moreover, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the applications of proposed results.

Parametric Regression Models

Proportional hazard regression models are widely used in survival analysis to understand and exploit the relationship between survival time and covariates. For left censored survival times, reversed hazard rate functions are more appropriate. In this paper, we develop a parametric proportional hazard rates model using an inverted Weibull distribution. The estimation and construction of confidence intervals for the parameters are discussed. We assess the performance of the proposed procedure based on a large number of Monte Carlo simulations. We illustrate the proposed method using a real case example.
