Abstract

In recent years, generalized distributions have been widely studied in statistics as they possess flexibility in applications. This is justified because the traditional distributions often do not provide good fit in relation to the real data set studied. This paper develops a Power Gumbel distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM). The new generalization is called the transmuted Power-Gumbel distribution. Various mathematical properties of this distribution including moments, moment generating function, quantile function, mean deviation and order statistics were also studied. These features support the legitimacy and robustness of the proposed distribution. The maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the model parameters, and the finite sample performance of the estimators are assessed by simulation studies indicating that their precision improves with larger sample sizes. The asymptotic confidence intervals for the parameters are also obtained based on asymptotic variance-covariance matrix. Finally, the usefulness of the proposed model is illustrated in an application to two real data sets and conclude that the four-parameter transmuted Power Gumbel distribution provides better fit than the other five models.

1. Introduction
The Gumbel distribution is perhaps the most widely applied statistical distribution for problems in engineering. It is also known as the extreme value distribution of type I. Recent developments focus on new techniques for building meaningful distributions. These include the two-piece approach introduced by , Azzalini and Capitanio studied the distributions generated by perturbation of symmetry with emphasis on a multivariate skew t distribution, and the generator approach pioneered by . Many researchers have worked using generalizations technique, a few to mention are .
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new generalization to the Gumbel distribution using the transmutation map approach introduced by . The new model which generalizes the Power Gumbel (PG) distribution is referred to as the transmuted Power Gumbel (TPG) distribution. The Gumbel (G) distribution is a very popular statistical distribution due to its extensive applicability in several areas and its wide applications has been reported by . The applicability of GD in the field of flood frequency analysis, network, space, software reliability, structural and wind engineering are reported by . Exponentiated Gumbel (EG) distribution, introduced by based on Gumbel (G) distribution and illustrated its applicability in the area of global warming modeling, rainfall modeling, wind speed modeling etc. Due to its wide applicability in different fields of science, the generalization of Gumbel Distribution has become important. The cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the Power Gumbel distribution is given by
Fx= 0G(x)fydy = e-e- x-μσ1α (1)
where σ is a scale parameter, α is a shape parameter and μ is a location parameter, the corresponding probability density function (pdf) is given by
fx=1α σ e-  x-μσ   (e- e-  x-μσ )1α(2)
According to the Quadratic Rank Transmutation Map, (QRTM), approach a random variable X is said to have transmuted distribution if its cumulative distribution function cdf is given by
Fx=1+λGx-λGx2(3)
where Gx is the cdf of the base distribution, which on differentiation yields
fx=gx(1+ λ)-2 λGx,    λ1(4)
where fx and gx are the corresponding pdfs associated with cdfs Fx and Gx respectively. Note that when λ=0, the base distribution will be obtained. Based on the above generalization, many authors have dealt with this generalization of some known distributions. Afify et al. derived the Transmuted Complementary Weibull Geometric distribution. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce the new distribution. In Section 3, we obtain some mathematical properties of the TPG distribution including, moments and moment generating functions, quantile, mean deviations, Renyi entropies and order statistics. In Section 4, we discuss the estimation problem using the maximum likelihood estimation method and obtain the observed information matrix. The asymptotic confidence intervals for the parameters are also obtained based on asymptotic variance-covariance matrix. The finite sample performance of the estimators and approximate 100(1 − ϑ) % confidence intervals are assessed by simulation in Section 5. Two illustrative applications based on real data sets are investigated in section 6. Finally, concluding remarks are presented in section 7.
2. The Transmuted Power Gumbel Distribution
In this section, we studied the transmuted Power-Gumbel (TPG) distribution. Now by inserting (1) into (3), we obtain the cdf of transmuted Power-Gumbel (TPG) distribution
Fx= (e- e-  x-μσ )1α  1+ λ- λ e- e-  x-μσ 1α.(5)
The corresponding probability density function pdf is given by
fx=1α σ  e-  x-μσ (e- e-  x-μσ )1α  1+λ -2λ(e- e-  x-μσ )1α(6)
where μ is a location parameter, σ is a scale parameter, α is shape parameter and λ is a transmuted parameter.
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the graphical behavior of the pdf and cdf of transmuted Power-Gumbel distribution for selected values of the parameters.

3. Mathematical Properties
In this section we provide some mathematical properties of the TPG distribution including the moments, moment generating function, quantiles, mean deviations, Rényi entropies and order statistic.
3.1. Moments and Moment Generating Function
It is imperative to derive the moments when a new distribution is proposed. They play a significant role in statistical analysis, particularly in applications. If X has Transmuted Power Gumbel distribution (μ, σ, α, λ) then its rth moment of TPG can be written as
EXr=-Xr 1α σ  e-  x-μσ (e- e-  x-μσ )1α  1+λ -2λ(e- e-  x-μσ )1α (7)
EXr=2-r-2μασlog(-ασlog)r(λ+1)2rμασlogΓr+1,-μαlogσ-λΓr+1,-μαlogσ(8)
In particular,
EX=μ-12αlog(2+λ)σ
EX2=μ2-αlog(2+λ)μσ+12α2log2(4+3λ)σ2
EX3=14(4μ3-6αlog(2+λ)μ2σ+6α2log2(4+3λ)μσ2-3α3log3(8+7λ)σ3)
EX4=μ4-2αlog(2+λ)μ3σ+3α2log2(4+3λ)μ2σ2-3α3log3(8+7λ)μσ3+32α4log4(16+15λ)σ4
The variance, skewness, and kurtosis measures can now be calculated using the relations
VarX=EX2-EX2
SkewnessX=EX3-3EXEX2+2EX3VarX32
KurtosisX=EX4-4EXEX3+6EX2EX2-3EX4VarX2
Similarly, the moment generating function of X obtained as below:
Mxt=Etx=-et x fx dx
Mxt=e2σ(-t)aσt((λ+1)2σt-λ)Γ(+1)
3.2. Mean and Median Deviations
The amount of scatter in a population is evidently measured to some extent by the totality of deviations from the mean and median. If X has a TPG distribution, then we can derive the mean deviation about the mean μ=EX and about the median M as:
δ1x=-|x- μ |fxdx
δ2x=-|x- M |fxdx.
The mean of the distribution is obtained from (8), and the median is obtained by solving the equation:
e- e-  x-μσ 1α  1+ λ- λ e- e-  x-μσ 1α  = 12(9)
These measures can be calculated using the relationships that:
δ1x=-μ|μ- x |fxdx+μ|x- μ |fxdx
=20μ|μ- x |fxdx=2μ Fμ-0μx fxdx
δ1x=2 μ Fμ- Jμ 
δ2x=μ-2  Jμ
where Jt= -tx fxdx. From (6) we have:
Jt=-tx fxdx
=---t+μσ1α t-1+-1+--t+μσ1αλ+2-t+μσα--t+μσ1αλσEi-2-t+μσα--t+μσα1+λσEi--t+μσα,(10)
where Ei is the exponential integral function Ei(z) defined by Eiz=--z e-ttt
3.3. Quantiles and Random Number Generator
The quantile function plays a key role in simulating random samples from a given distribution. The characteristics of a distribution such as the median, kurtosis and skewness can also be described using the quantile function. The quantiles function of the TPG distribution is the real solution of Fxq=q for 0q1. The quantiles of the Transmuted power Gumbel distribution are obtained from cdf (5) as:
xp=μ-σLogLog2α1+λ-1+2λ-4+λ2λ-α(11)
where U is a uniform distribution with 0,1.
3.4. Rényi Entropies
An entropy of a random variable x is a measure of variation of the uncertainty. Rényi entropy is defined by:
JRγ=11-γ logfγxdx
where γ>0 and γ1. For the TPG distribution pdf given by (6)
JRγ=1γσγ- e-  x-μσ γ e- e-  x-μσ 1α    1+λ -2λ e- e-  x-μσ 1αγdx
On substituting y=e-  x-μσ , the right-hand side reduces to
=0σγγ yγ e-y1α    1+λ -2λ e- y1αγdy=α Γ(γ) 1+λαγ 2F1[-γ,γ,1+γ,2λ1+λ]γ
The Rènyi entropy, takes the expression
JRγ=logαΓ(γ) 1+λαγ 2F1[-γ,γ,1+γ,2λ1+λ]γ-1,(12)
where, 2F~1a,b,c,z is the hypergeometric function calculated as.
2F~1= k=0  akbkk! ck zk.
3.5. Order Statistics
Order statistics make their appearance in many areas of statistical theory and practice. Suppose X1,X2,X3,,Xn is a random sample from the TPG distribution. Let Xi:n denote the ith order statistics. The pdf of Xi:n can be expressed as
fi:nx=n!i-1!(n-i)! (x)i-1 1-Fxn-if(x)
Let X1,X2,X3,,Xn be independently identically distributed order random variables from the (TPG) distribution having first and last order probability density function are given by the following:
f1:nx=n  1-Fxn-1fx
=n  1-1+λ (e- e-  x-μσ )1α -  λ(e- e-  x-μσ )2αn-11+λα σ  e-  x-μσ e- e-  x-μσ 1α -2λα σ  e-  x-μσ e- e-  x-μσ 2α(13)
fn:nx=n  Fxn-1fx
=n  1+λ e- e-  x-μσ 1α -  λ e- e-  x-μσ 2αn-1 1+λα σ  e-  x-μσ e- e-  x-μσ 1α -2λα σ  e-  x-μσ e- e-  x-μσ 2α(14)
3.6. Survivor Function
The survivor function S(x) is given by
Sx=pXx=1-pXx=1-F(x)
Substituting the value of F(x) from (5), we get
Sx=1- e- e-  x-μσ 1α  1+ λ- λ e- e-  x-μσ 1α 
Figure 3 is the plot of the survival function of the TPG for various sets of parameter values.
Figure 3. Survival function of the TPG plotted for various parameter values.
3.7. Hazard Rate Function
The hazard rate function h(x) is given by hx= f(x)S(x). Substituting the values of f(x) and F(x) from (5) and (6) respectively, and simplifying we get
hx=1+λα σ  e-  x-μσ  (e- e-  x-μσ  )1a -2λα σ  e-  x-μσ   e- e-  x-μσ  2α      1-(e- e-  x-μσ )1α  1+ λ- λ e- e-  x-μσ 1α
4. Parameter Estimation
The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) enjoy desirable properties and can be used for constructing confidence intervals for the model parameters. So, we consider the estimation of the unknown parameters for this distribution by maximum likelihood. Let X1,X2...,Xn be a random sample from the TPG distribution with observed values x1,x2...,xn and Θ=(μ,σ,α,λ)T be parameter vector. The likelihood function for Θ may be expressed as
LΘ=i=1n1α σ  e-  xi-μσ e- e-  xi-μσ 1α   1+λ -2λe- e-  xi-μσ 1α
Therefore, the log-likelihood function for Θ becomes
lΘ=-nLnα-nLnσ- x-μσ-1αe-  x-μσ +Lni=1n 1+λ-2λe- e-  x-μσ 1α(15)
The MLEs of μ,σ,α,λ say μ̂, σ̂, α̂ and λ̂, respectively, can be worked out by the solutions of the system of equations obtained by letting the first partial derivatives of the total log-likelihood equal to zero with respect to μ̂, σ̂, α̂ and λ̂. Therefore, the system of equations is as follows:
lnlΘμ= 1σ  - 1α e-  x-μσ 1σ+2λe- e-  x-μσ 1αe-  x-μσ (1σ)1+λ-2λe- e-  x-μσ 1α(16)
lnlΘσ=- nσ+ x-μσ2-1α e-  x-μσ x-μσ2 +2λe- e-  x-μσ 1αe-  x-μσ (x-μσ2)1+λ-2λe- e-  x-μσ 1α(17)
lnlΘα= 1α2e-  x-μσ - nα- 2λe- e-  x-μσ 1α 1α3 e- e-  xi-μσ 1+λ-2λe- e-  x-μσ 1α(18)
lnlΘλ= 1-2e- e-  x-μσ 1α1+λ-2λe- e-  x-μσ 1α(19)
The solutions of nonlinear equations (16), (17), (18) and (19) are complicated to obtain, therefore an iterative procedure is applied to solve these equations numerically.
Under certain regularity conditions, the centered form of the MLE, nΘ̂-Θ, is asymptotically distributed as Normal 0, I-1Θ, where IΘ is the information matrix, given by IΘ=E2lΘΘiΘj, and can be approximated by IΘ̂. Then, based on Θ̂-ΘdN40, I-1Θ, one can carry out confidence regions for functions of Θ. Therefore, approximate 1001-γ%
μ̂ Zγ2Πμμ,σ̂ Zγ2Πσσ,α̂ Zγ2Παα,λ̂ Zγ2Πλλ.
where Zγ is the upper 100γ-th percentile of the standard normal distribution.
5. Simulation Study
Here, we assess the finite sample behaviors of the MLEs for the four-parameter TPG distributions. The assessment of the finite sample behavior of the MLEs for this distribution was based on the following:
1. Use the inversion method to generate two thousand samples of size n from the TPG distribution, i.e. generate values of:
X=μ-σLogLog2α1+λ-1+2λ-4+λ2λ-α
2. Compute the MLEs for the two thousand samples, say (μ̂i, σ̂i, α̂i, λ̂i) for i=1,2,,2000.
3. Compute the bias, mean squared errors, standard errors and 95% confidence limits (L, U and T) for two thousand samples. The asymptotic variance (ASV) and 95% confidence intervals are computed by inverting the observed information matrix. Bias and MSE are given by:
BiasΘ̂=i=12000Θ̂i-Θ2000
MSEΘ̂=i=12000Θ̂-Θ22000
for Θ=(μ, σ,α, λ).
4. We repeat these steps 2000 times (iteration) for n= 10, 30, 50, 80, 100, 150, and 200, so computing BiasΘ̂, MSEΘ̂, ASVΘ̂ and 95% confidence limits (L, U and T) for Θ=μ, σ,α, λ.
The average estimates, along with the bias, mean squared error and asymptotic variance are presented in Table 1. In Table 2, the average 95% confidence intervals are reported.

Table 2 shows that as the sample size increases, the average confidence lengths decrease and the intervals tend towards symmetry.
6. Applications
Here, we provide applications to two real data sets to show how the TPG distribution can be applied in practice. For this aim, the TPG distribution is compared with other competitive distributions. In these applications, the model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood with their corresponding standard errors of the parameters. The Akaike information criteria (AIC), Consistent Akaikes Information Criterion (CAIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and Hannan-Quinn information criterion (HQIC) statistics are computed to compare the fitted models. In general, the smaller values of these statistics, the better the fit to the data.
6.1. The First Real Data
The first real data set included survival times (in months) for a sample of (131) women with breast cancer residing at Dar Al-Hayat of the National Cancer Control Foundation – Sana’a during the period from February to December 2022. The data are:

We compare the four-parameter transmuted Power Gumbel (TPG) distribution, three parameter Power Gumbel (PG) distribution, three parameters transmuted Gumbel (TG) distribution, two parameters transmuted Power (TP) distribution, two parameter Gumbel (G) distribution and one parameter Power (P) distribution fitted to the data. In general, the smaller the values of these statistics, the better the fit to the data.

Based on the Tables 5 and 8, we conclude that the new TPG model provides adequate fits as compared to other models in both applications with small values for SE, AIC, BIC, HQIC and CAIC. In the two applications, the proposed TPG model is much better than the five models.
7. Conclusions
In this paper we have proposed a new distribution, referred to as the TPG distribution. A mathematical treatment of the proposed distribution including explicit formulas for the density and survivor functions, moments, order statistics, and mean and median deviations have been provided. The estimation of the parameters has been approached by maximum likelihood. Also, the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of the estimates has been obtained. The confidence intervals of the parameters of the new model are evaluated through the simulation study. Finally, two applications to real data indicate that the TPG distribution provides a good fit and can be used as a competitive model to fit real data.
