SUMMARY
Moment distributions have a vital role in mathematics and statistics,especially in probability theory in the perspective of research which is relatedto ecology, reliability, biomedicine and several other fields. Rao (1965)extended the basic idea of Fisher (1934) and introduced moment or weighteddistributions to model for such situations. The moment distribution deals inthe perspective of unequal probability sampling. Dara and Ahmad (2012)proposed moment exponential distribution and discussed its variousproperties.
In this research work, we propose an exponentiated momentexponential distribution (EMED) which is more flexible than Dara andAhmad (2012) moment exponential distribution and Gupta and Kundu (2001)exponentiated exponential distribution in data fitting. The two-parameterexponentiated moment exponential distribution is more effectively used inanalyzing several lifetime data than the two parameters gamma, twoparameters Weibull distribution or two parameters exponentiated exponentialdistributions. Different choices of combinations of parameters make EMEDmore useful in curve fitting. EMED produces many special cases.
The main objective of this research is to develop theoretical propertiesas well as some numerical study of EMED. We focus on some basicproperties and discuss unbaisedness and sufficiency of EMED.Characterization of EMED is presented through conditional expectation. Theproposed extension is utilized to model a data set. We also discuss differentproperties of EMED of nth order statistics and finally, we find dualgeneralized order statistics for EMED.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
The exponentiated exponential distribution is a specific family of theexponentiated Weibull distribution. In analyzing several life time datasituations, it has been observed that the dual parameter exponentiatedexponential distribution can be more effectively used as compared to both dualparameters of gamma or Weibull distribution. When we consider the shapeparameter is one, then the three above mentioned distributions become thesame as one parameter exponential distribution. Hence, these threedistributions are the off shoots of the exponential distribution.
If ( )XF x is a cumulative distribution function, then ( )XF xα is
called the exponentiated distribution (ED) function, where α is the
exponentiated parameter. If X is a non-negative random variable with pdf
f(x), then the weighted distribution is defined as( )
( ), ( )

Patil, 2000). If ( ) mw X X= , then g(x) is called the moment distribution of X
, also named as size-biased distribution of order m . Let the random variable
X be pdf ( )f x , then the corresponding moment distribution has pdf

w x f xg x
E w X=

Dara and Ahmad (2012) proposed a cumulative distribution function ofmoment exponential distribution as

Gompertz (1825) used the cumulative distribution function to comparethe known human mortality tables and represented population growth modelwith the cdf
( ) ( )1 , , t, and > 0 (1.2)tF t eα− λ= − ρ ρ λ α .
Mudholkar et al. (1995) employed exponentiated weibull distributionto study the bus motor failure. Gupta et al. (1998) modified (1.2) bysubstituting 1ρ = . In this regard gamma, Pareto and Weibull, which are thebase line distributions, were used by them. They studied the monotonicity ofthe failure rates. Primarily, various hazard rate properties were discussedunder different situations.
Gupta and Kundu (1999) studied the theoretical properties of the threeparameters of (1.2) and generalized the exponential distribution and alsocompared them with the characteristics of gamma and the Weibulldistribution. They derived several moments and discussed maximumlikelihood estimators and a few hypotheses are tested. Finally through a dataset, it was observed that the three-parameter of generalized exponentialdistribution stands better than the three-parameter Weibull distribution or thethree-parameter gamma distribution.
Gupta and Kundu (2000) developed five estimation procedures andcompared their performances by considering two parameters generalizedexponential distribution. They developed stochastic ordering results anddiscussed the maximum likelihood estimators and their asymptotic properties.Some numerical experimental results were illustrated with the help of twodata sets.
For ( )P X Y< , where X and Y are two independent generalizedexponential random variables under the same scale parameter but differentshape parameters, Gupta and Kundu (2005) achieved the maximumlikelihood estimator and its asymptotic distribution. To obtain the asymptoticconfidence interval of [ ]P X Y< , the asymptotic distribution was used.
Shawky and Bakoban (2008) studied the lower record values ofexponentiated gamma distribution, and derived explicit expressions for the
3
single, product, triple and quadruple moments. They (2008) also establishedrecurrence relations for the single, product, triple and quadruple moments andmoment generating function. Shawky and Bakoban (2009) also defined thesingle and double moments of order statistics in more comprehensive way.Based on the moments of order statistics, the best linear unbiased estimators(BLUE) for the location and scale parameters of EG distribution under Type-II censoring were obtained. The variances and co-variances of theseestimators were also presented. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)for the shape parameter and estimators based on order statistics for the shapeparameter were derived.
Raja and Mir (2011) worked on extension of exponentiated Weibull,exponentiated exponential, exponentiated lognormal and exponentiatedgumble distributions.
Dara and Ahmad (2012) proposed a distribution function of momentexponential distribution and developed some basic properties like moments,skewness, kurtosis, moment generating function and hazard function.
Some of work have been done on generalized weibull, exponentiatedweibull, generalized exponential, exponentiated exponential, etc. [see Guptaand Kundu (2001, 2004); Eissa (2003); Choudhury (2005); Nadraja and Kotz(2006); Carrasco et al. (2008); Barreto-Souza and Cribari-Neto (2009);Santos et al. (2010); Cordeiro et al. (2011) and Nandaraja (2011)].
This study introduces new distributions named as exponentiatedmoment exponential distribution (EMED). The probability density function(pdf) corresponding to (1.1) is

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter we present the literature review related to exponentiatedexponential distribution or generalized exponential distribution.
2.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
By using Gompertz’s distribution function ( ) ( )1 ,tF t eα− λ= − ρ The
exponentiated exponential distribution is derived by taking 1ρ = . Gupta andKundu (2001) defined two parameter exponentiated exponential distribution
Earlier Gupta et al. (1998) gave the concept of exponentiateddistribution by using base line distributions such as gamma, Pareto and
ordering, failure rate ordering mean residual life ordering, dispersive orderingand order statistics ordering.
Gupta and Kundu (1999) introduced three parameter generalizedexponential distribution. They calculated the hazard function and compared itwith gamma and Weibull distributions.

By considering dual parameter generalized exponential distribution,Gupta and Kundu (2000) compared the MLE's with the other estimators such
Gupta and Kundu (2001) considered a two-parameter exponentiated
They (2001) proposed that instead of Weibull and gamma distribution,generalized exponential distribution is equally applicable.
By using two different methods, Gupta and Kundu (2003a) checked thecloseness between the gamma distribution and the generalized exponential
distinguishable in case of α close to one.
Gupta and Kundu (2003b) used the proportion of the maximized

Gupta and Kundu (2004) also used the ratio of the maximized
used these asymptotic results to determine the minimum sample size.
By having the same scale parameter, Gupta and Kundu (2005) stated
scale parameter given or not given. If it is not given, then maximumlikelihood estimator works effectively. Construction of confidence interval is
From an exponentiated gamma distribution, Shawky and Bakoban(2008c) discussed lower record values. They (2008c) derived explicitexpressions for the single, product, triple and quadruple moments. The singlemoments of the thn lower record value ( )XL n from exponentiated gammadistribution is
Similarly they showed triple and quadruple moments.
They (2008c) also established recurrence relations for the single moment as

Raja and Mir (2011) conducted the numerical study by taking the eightdistributions namely gamma, Weibull, lognormal, gumble, exponentiatedWeibull, exponentiated exponential, exponentiated lognormal andexponentiated gumble distribution have been fitted to two real life data sets.
The first data set is regarding the failure times of the conditioningsystem of an aeroplane. Exponentiated exponential and gamma give betterresults followed by Weibull. Hence gamma, Weibull and exponentiatedexponential can be replaced as alternative to each other in certain situations.In second data set regarding runs scored by a cricketer, under exponentiatedlognormal and exponentiated exponential (Raja & Mir, 2011) give better fitfollowed by gamma. Hence exponentiated lognormal, exponentiatedexponential and gamma can be replaced as an alternative with each other.Since the distribution function of exponentiated lognormal distribution can beexpressed in terms of normal distribution, therefore, inference based on thedata can be handled easily and can be given preference.

2.3 ORDER STATISTICS
Related to life testing studies, order statistics definitely exists inmost of the real-life problems involving data. In the study of order statistics,David (1981), Balakrishnan and Cohen (1991), Arnold et al. (1992), andDavid and Nagaraja (2003) have drawn inference. On the basis of orderstatistics, Balakrishnan and Puthenpura (1986) derived the best linearunbiased estimators (BLUE’s) of the location and scale parameters of halflogistic distribution. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLE’s) of theparameters of Burr XII distribution were derived for Type-II censored sampleby Wingo (1993). On the basis of order statistics, Balakrishnan and Chan(1998) have observed linear estimation for log-gamma parameters. On thebasis of order statistics with regard to Burr X distribution, Raqab (1998) hasobtained two types of estimators of location and scale parameters. Gupta and
parameters logarithmically decreasing survival distributions under Type-IIcensored samples were determined by Sultan et al. (2002). Also, Mahmoud etal. (2003) have derived the exact expression for the single and double

phenomenon. In the literature Barlow et al.

It hassignificant value in the study of reliability analysis, survival analysis,actuarial sciences and demography, in extreme value theory and in durationanalysis in economics and sociology.

ORDER STATISTICS OF EMED
4.1 INTRODUCTION
There are many problems of statistical inference in which one is unableto assume the functional form of the population distribution. Many of theseproblems are such that the strongest assumption which can be reasonablymade is continuity of the cumulative distribution function of the population.An increasing amount of attention is being devoted to statistical tests whichhold for all populations having continuous cumulative distribution functions.In such problems it is being found that order statistics, that is, the ordered setof values in a random sample from least to greatest, are playing afundamental role. It is to be particularly noted that the term order is not beingused here in the sense of arrangement of sample values in a sequence as theyare actually drawn.
In this chapter, order statistics of exponentiated moment distribution(EMED) are considered. We discuss some properties of distribution of orderstatistics of moment distribution and exponentiated moment distribution.Finally, we find dual generalized order statistics for EMED.

4.9 HAZARD RATE FUNCTION
Hazard Rate Function arises in the situation of the analysis of the timeto the event and it describes the current chance of failure for the populationthat has not yet failed. This function plays a pivotal role in reliabilityanalysis, survival analysis, actuarial sciences and demography, in extremevalue theory and in duration analysis in Economics and Sociology. This isvery important for researchers and practitioners working in areas likeengineering statistics and biomedical sciences. Hazard rate function is veryuseful in defining and formulating a model when dealing with lifetime data.

The branch of Statistics that deals with the failure in mechanicalsystems is called survival analysis. In engineering it is called as reliabilityanalysis or reliability theory. In fact the survival function is the probability offailure by time y , where y represents survival time. We use the survivalfunction is to predict quantiles of the survival time.
