The Burr XI Generated Family of Distribution with Illustration to Cancer Patients Data
Author: Clement Boateng Ampadu
Category: Cancer Case Reports
Abstract:
The Burr system of distributions appeared in (Burr, 1942). On the other hand in (Eugene et al., 2002), they pioneered the beta-generated method of creating probability distributions. Inspired by these developments, we introduce the Burr XI generated method of creating probability distributions. We show a distribution arising from this method is a good fit to real-life data, indicating the new method of creating probability distributions should be applicable in various disciplines. Finally, we ask the reader to investigate some properties and applications of a so-called Burr VI generated family of distributions of two types.

- Introduction and the New Family
The Burr system of distributions (Burr, 1942) arise from the differential equation
where
and g(x, y) is a nonnegative function for 0 ? y ? 1 and x is in the range over which the solution is to be used. The Burr XI distribution has CDF, and for example, see Table 1.1 (Momanyi, 2017), given by
where r > 0, and 0 < x < 1. By differentiating the CDF above, we see the PDF of the Burr XI distribution is given by
Now we introduce the Burr XI generated family of distributions via the following integral
where r > 0 and G(x; ξ) is the CDF of some baseline distribution. The parameter space of ξ depends on the choosen baseline distribution. Evaluating this integral leads to the following
Proposition 1.1. The CDF of the Burr XI-G family of distributions is given by
where x?, r > 0, and G(x; ξ) is the CDF of some baseline distribution. The parameter space of ξ depends on the choosen baseline distribution.
By differentiating the CDF above, we have the following
Proposition 1.2. The PDF of the Burr XI-G family of distributions is given by
where x ?, r > 0, G(x; ξ) and g(x; ξ) are the CDF and PDF, respectively, of some base- line distribution. The parameter space of ξ depends on the choosen baseline distribution
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In the next section we show a so-called Burr XI-Weibull distribution is a good fit to the breast cancer data (Girish and Jayakumar, 2017). The last section is devoted to the conclusions. As a further recommendation we suggest obtaining some properties and applications of a so-called Burr VI generated family of distributions of two types.
2 Practical Illustration
We assume the baseline distribution is Weibull distributed with the following CDF
where x, a, b > 0. By Proposition 1.1, we have the following
Corollary 2.1. The CDF of the Burr XI-Weibull distribution is given by
where x, a, b, r > 0
Notation 2.2. We write V ? BXIW (a, b, r), if V is a Burr XI-Weibull random variable.
Figure 1. The CDF of BXIW (1.20333, 97.7151, 0.329319) fttted to the empirical distribution of the breast cancer data (Girish and Jayakumar, 2017).
Remark 2.3. The PDF of the Burr XI-Weibull distribution can be obtained by differen- tiating the CDF
Figure 2. The PDF of BXIW (1.20333, 97.7151, 0.329319) fttted to the histogram of the breast cancer data (Girish and Jayakumar, 2017).
3 Concluding Remarks and Further Recommendations
The present paper has introduced a family of distributions arising from the Burr system of distributions. In particular, a so-called Burr XI-G family of distributions have been introduced, and a member of this class of distributions is shown to be a good fit to real life data in the health sciences. The Burr VI distribution has CDF
where k, c, r > 0 and x ?. Inspired by the T - X(W) framework (Alzaatreh and Lee, 2013b), we ask the reader to investigate some properties and applications of a so-called Burr VI generated family of distributions of two types. We leave the reader with the following integral representations for their CDF's.
Definition 3.1. The CDF of the Burr VI generated family of distributions is given by
where G(x; ξ) is the CDF of some baseline distribution. The parameter space of ξ and x
depends on the chosen baseline distribution, and k, c, r > 0.
(a) The Burr VI generated family of distributions is of type I, if we take
for some α > 0
(b) The Burr VI generated family of distributions is of type II, if we take
for some α > 0
