Abstract
In this article, we intend to introduce and study a new two-parameter distribution as a new extension of the power Topp–Leone (PTL) distribution called the Kavya–Manoharan PTL (KMPTL) distribution. Several mathematical and statistical features of the KMPTL distribution, such as the quantile function, moments, generating function, and incomplete moments, are calculated. Some measures of entropy are investigated. The cumulative residual Rényi entropy (CRRE) is calculated. To estimate the parameters of the KMPTL distribution, both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation methods are used under simple random sample (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS). The simulation study was performed to be able to verify the model parameters of the KMPTL distribution using SRS and RSS to demonstrate that RSS is more efficient than SRS. We demonstrated that the KMPTL distribution has more flexibility than the PTL distribution and the other nine competitive statistical distributions: PTL, unit-Gompertz, unit-Lindley, Topp–Leone, unit generalized log Burr XII, unit exponential Pareto, Kumaraswamy, beta, Marshall-Olkin Kumaraswamy distributions employing two real-world datasets.
1. Introduction
The Topp–Leone (TL) distribution, developed by [1], is one of the most helpful of the known distributions, with support across the unit interval. It has the following distribution function (CDF) and density function (PDF):
and
where is a shape parameter.
Generalizations of the TL distribution have been shown to be beneficial in a variety of disciplines. Many notable academics have made significant attempts to suggest new generalized and developed modifications of the TL model, for example, TL inverse Weibull distribution [2], Type I half-Logistic TL distribution [3], TL geometric distribution [4], truncated Cauchy power inverted TL distribution [5], TL Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution [6], power inverted TL distribution [7], TL linear exponential distribution [8], Kumaraswamy inverted TL distribution [9], new power TL family [10], alpha power inverted TL distribution [11], half-logistic inverted TL distribution [12], type II Power TL family [13], odd log-logistic TL family [14], TL odd Fréchet distribution [15], Burr III-TL family [16], inverse TL distribution [17], exponentiated generalized TL family [18], transmuted TL power function distribution [19], transmuted TL family [20], sine TL family [21], weighted TL family [22], TL inverse Lomax distribution [23], and new weighted TL family [24], among others.
Recently, Ref. [25] used this transformation, , to introduce the PTL distribution as a generalization of the TL distribution, and it has the following CDF, PDF, and quantile function (qf)
and
where and are two shape parameters and .
In recent years, many authors used the power transformation technique to obtain statistical distributions that are more flexible due to the shape parameter. Several of the potential power distributions are as follows: the power Zeghdoudi distribution [26], power modified Kies distribution [27], power Darna distribution [28], power Burr X distribution [29], power transmuted inverse Rayleigh distribution [30], power Rama distribution [31], power binomial exponential distribution [32], power Aradhana distribution [33], power Lomax distribution [34], power half logistic distribution [35], power Shanker distribution [36], power Lindley distribution [37], and power Cauchy distribution [38], among others.
Adding parameters improves versatility, but they also increase the problem of the complexity estimation parameters. In recent times, Ref. [39] created the Kavya–Manoharan (KM) class in order to acquire new parsimonious distribution families, and it has the following CDF:
The corresponding PDF and qf of the KM family are
and
where and are the CDF and the PDF of the parent distribution.
Ranked set sampling (RSS) is an efficient and successful alternative to simple random sampling (SRS). When sampling units are expensive and difficult to quantify, this method is typically used to generate samples that are more representative of the underlying population, as well as samples that are straightforward and affordable to arrange in line with the variable of interest. Plenty of studies on RSS technique changes have been undertaken. Additional details about the RSS system may be found in, for example, [40,41,42,43]. The study of RSS-based estimates for several parametric models has lately attracted a significant amount of interest. These studies repeatedly indicate that RSS outperforms SRS and other traditional sampling strategies. Here are several instances: Ref. [44] for the Lomax distribution, Ref. [45] for the exponentiated exponential distribution, Ref. [46] for the xgamma distribution, Refs. [47,48] for exponentiated Pareto distribution, Refs. [49,50] for the Kumaraswamy distribution, Ref. [51] for the exponential-Poisson distribution, Ref. [52] for the generalized inverse Lindley distribution, Ref. [53] for the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution, Ref. [54] for the generalized quasi-Lindley distribution, Ref. [55] for the Weibull distribution, and Ref. [56] for the Zubair Lomax distribution.
Although [25] introduced a new flexible two-shape parameter distribution called the PTL distribution, the limitation of this study is that the PTL distribution does not give more fitting for different types of data. Because of this, we aim in this paper to introduce a new extension of the PTL distribution by the same number of parameters, called the KMPTL distribution. The new suggested distribution gives a better fit than the PTL distribution and some well-known distribution, and we supported that in the application section. Here, we aim to profit from the combined KM-class of distributions and the PTL distribution by investigating a new two-parameter distribution named the KMPTL distribution. The major motivations behind the KMPTL distribution are as follows:
- The KMPTL distribution is very simple and it has more flexibility than the PTL distribution, and both distributions have two parameters.
- We demonstrate that the KMPTL distribution may provide desirable features in both practical and theoretical terms.
- Numerous broad statistical and mathematical aspects of the PTL distribution were studied.
- Four different measures of entropy are calculated.
- The cumulative residual Rényi entropy (CRRE) is calculated.
- Classical and Bayesian approaches of estimation were utilized to compute the estimate of parameters for the KMPTL distribution, under SRS and RSS.
- For modeling, we used two genuine datasets from economics and physics; the KMPTL distribution provides a better fit than the PTL distribution and the other nine competitive statistical distributions, the PTL, unit-Gompertz (UG), unit-Lindley (UL), TL, unit generalized log Burr XII (UGLBXII), unit exponential Pareto distribution (UEPD), Kumaraswamy (Kw), beta, and Marshall-Olkin Kumaraswamy (MOK) distributions, and we suggested this in the application section.
The following is an outline of the contents of this article. In Section 2, the formulation of the KMPTL distribution is discussed. Numerous mathematical characteristics of the KMPTL distribution are proposed in Section 3. Two Sections, Section 4 and Section 5, are devoted to four different measures of entropy and the CRRE from the KMPTL distribution. Classical and Bayesian estimation of the two shape unknown parameters from the KMPTL distribution, utilizing a thorough simulation experiment, are discussed in Section 6 and Section 7, respectively. Section 8 examines two real datasets and provides a clear comparison of nine competitive distributions. Section 9 presents a conclusion to the topic.

We can note from Figure 1 that the curves of PDF for the KMPTL distribution can be unimodal, right-skewed, left-skewed, symmetric, heavy-tailed, and decreasing, but from Figure 2 we can note that the curves of HRF for the KMPTL distribution can be increasing, J-shaped, U-shaped and, bathtub.

6. Estimation Methods Based on Sampling Approach
In this section, the MLE and Bayesian have been discussed. The procedures used to draw conclusions or make generalizations about a population parameter make up the estimate theory. Differentiating between the maximum likelihood approach and the Bayesian method of estimate is the current fashion. The Bayesian approach makes use of sample data information as well as previously acquired subjective knowledge about the probability distribution of the unknown parameters. In addition, the most popular technique for gathering data is the SRS approach. RSS approaches may be employed in these scenarios to study greater proportions of samples from the population under consideration and enhance the accuracy of statistical inference. This approach was first discussed and introduced by [62], which originally proposed the RSS approach. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that RSS statistical processes are numerically and theoretically superior to their SRS competitors.
The next step outlines the technique for choosing the samples:
- Choose observations from an r-set, each of which contains r randomly chosen units.
- Using an accessible auxiliary variable or individual assessment, the units are rated.
- The lowest unit in the first set should be chosen, followed by the second-lowest unit in the second set, and so on until the fourth unit in the fourth set is chosen.where as a cycle iteration.
- The process returns ranked set samples with an r. The operation will therefore be carried out m times in order to obtain the necessary sample n, where , , and samples. According to the foundation of flawless judgement ranking, has the same distribution; see citation [63].
For more information, see recent papers such as [64,65,66]. In this section, maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian using SRS and RSS have been discussed.
6.1. Maximum Likelihood Estimation under SRS
In this subsection, first, we need to look into the ML estimates (MLEs) of and according to SRS. Assume that , where . The likelihood function (LFN) using SRS is:
The ln-LFN under SRS is:
In order to solve the non-linear log-LFNs that are produced by differentiating Equation (34) (with respect to the distribution parameters ) and equating it to zero, Equation (34) can be explicitly maximized using the R program by a “mle2” function, which implements the NelderMead (NM) maximization procedure for MLE calculations.
6.2. Maximum Likelihood Estimation under RSS
Assume that c-cycle of RSS is , which has KMPTL distribution with vector parameters . Equation (32) yields the next function under RSS:
By utilizing Equation (35), the LF under RSS is provided via
In this case, the ln-LF of the KMPTL distribution is supplied by
In order to solve the non-linear RSS of log-LFNs that are created by differentiating Equation (37) (with regards to the distribution parameters ) and equating it to 0, Equation (37) can be explicitly maximized employing the R program by a “mle2” function, which implements the NM maximization procedure for MLE calculations; see [67].
6.3. Bayesian Estimation
In many different contexts and fields, such as physics (see [68]), food chain (see [69]), epidemiology (see [70]), environmental (see [71]), COVID-19 (see [72]), and econometrics (see [73]), Bayesian approaches for parameter estimation have been successfully used. One benefit of using Bayesian approaches is that they enable model estimation when more complex models prevent standard estimation from succeeding [74].
The Bayes estimate based on ranked set sampling of the function under the square error loss (SEL) function will now be covered. The posterior distributions given the data are used to construct the Bayes estimates (BEs) of the parameters in the BE vector. The suggested method is described in brief below. Assume that I and K are the iterations and sample burn, respectively. The posterior mean is then used to minimize the SEL function for the presumptive prior distribution as follows:
where is the Bayesian estimation vector for at iteration . Furthermore, using the R software’s coda and HDInterval package, developed in [75] and [76], respectively, we can determine MCMC results and the highest posterior density (HPD) credible interval for , respectively.
Let be associated observations, and be a random sample of size n taken from a general distribution of the KMPTL distribution with unknown parameters, assumed to have independent rvs that adhere to the gamma distribution with the PDF specified by
To determine the proper hyper-parameters for the independent joint prior, use the estimate and variance-covariance matrix of the MLE technique. By equating the gamma priors’ mean and variance, the estimated hyper-parameters can be written as follows:
where L denotes the quantity of MLE iterations.
The parameters’ posterior distribution can be stated as follows:
where is the generated sample by SRS or RSS. It is possible to express the joint posterior to the proportionality as an equation, as shown in Equation (40).
The complete conditionals for and can be written, up to proportionality, as
We can use the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm (MHA) and the Gibbs sampling technique to produce samples from the posterior distributions as none of these posterior PDFs relate to a single common distribution. References [77,78,79] provide additional information on this topic. The normal distribution is the proposal distribution used by the MHA. The detailed steps are given below, taking into account the Gibbs sampling method:
- Begin with initial values , ;
- Put t = 1;
- Utilize the MHA to create ;
- Utilize the MHA to create ;
- Set t = t + 1;
- Repeat the procedures items I times.
Based on the SEL function, can be determined for a large enough I, which make convergence of MCMC results. Furthermore, the method described in [80] can be used to generate a roughly HPD credible interval of .
7. Simulation
Simulation studies has been used to produce random sampling of the proposed model. Because of some parameter factors, simulation studies are characterized by understanding the behavior of statistical approaches. This enables us to take into account technique characteristics such as bias, MSE, standard deviation, etc.; see also [81].
Using the R-4.3.0 program, a simulation research was carried out to compare the effectiveness of the ML and BE approaches under the SRS and RSS sampling strategies, as stated above for the unique KMPTL distribution. In this regard, the KMPTL distribution is used to generate M = 1000 moderate samples for each techniques, each with size n = (8,12,17). The parameter values have been selected as:
We utilise iterations and the first 16.67% as burn-in samples for the Bayes estimation. The bias and mean square error (MSE) of the estimates are examined. The table results show the simulation findings, including the length of confidence intervals (LCI) with converge probability (CP). In LCI, the asymptotic CI (LACI) has been obtained for MLE, and credible CI (LCCI) for Bayesian has been obtained. In addition, the relative efficiency (RE) of sampling techniques were
Below, we provide a few crucial procedures for the numerical simulation:
- Select the replication number M & I, the sample size n, and the parameter values;
- Select the replication number cycle m, and the sample size of each cycle r;
- Generate SRS and RSS from LMPTL by using the “rss” package in the R-4.3.0 program and qf (11) of the KMPTL distribution.
- Using the simulated data, determine the MLEs and BEs of the KMPTL distribution’s parameters;
- Repeat the above steps, M times;
- Determine the mean of bias, average MSE, RE, LCI, and CP for each parameter.
- In every calculation, the bias, MSE and LCI become smaller as n is increased.
- The relevance of the Bias, MSE, and LCI for KMPL distribution parameters decreases as the number of cycles (r) in the RSS sampling rises, but the RE rises.
- As the sample size for each cycle (m) rises in the RSS sampling, the significance of the Bias, MSE, and LCI for KMPTL distribution parameters declines, while the RE increases.
- Comparatively speaking, Bayesian estimates are substantially more efficient than MLE for the majority of KMPTL distribution parameters.
- Comparatively speaking, RSS techniques are substantially more efficient than SRS for the majority of KMPTL distribution parameters.
- The CP rises when the sample size increases.
- Comparatively speaking, credible CI of HPD is substantially more efficient than asymptotic CI for the majority of the KMPTL distribution parameters.
- MSE increases when parameter increased
8. Applications
In this section, we used two real-world datasets to compare the KMPTL model to several other known competing models: power Topp–Leone (PTL), unit-Gompertz (UG), unit-Lindley (UL), Topp–Leone (TL), unit generalized log Burr XII (UGLBXII), Unit Exponential Pareto (UEPD), Kumaraswamy (Kw), Beta, and Marshall-Olkin Kumaraswamy (MOK). To estimate the parameters of the competing models, the MLE approach is employed. To choose the optimal model, different criteria have been used, such as the Akaike information criterion (AM1), correct Akaike information criterion (SM2), Bayesian information criterion (SM3), and Hannan–Quinn information criterion (SM4) values. In addition, different goodness of fit measures have been discussed, such as the Kolmogorov–Smirnov distance (KSD), Anderson–Darling (AD), and Cramer-von-Mises (CVM), for each distribution.
8.1. Economic Growth Data
The trade share variable’s values in the famed “Determinants of Economic Growth Data” are taken into account in the first dataset, which is called the trade share dataset. Along with factors that may be associated with growth, the growth rates of up to 61 different countries are taken into consideration. The information is publicly accessible online as an addition to [82]. The trade share dataset consists of the following numbers: “0.1405 0.1566 0.1577 0.1604 0.1608 0.2215 0.2994 0.3131 0.3246 0.3247 0.3295 0.3300 0.3379 0.3397 0.3523 0.3589 0.3933 0.4176 0.4258 0.4356 0.4421 0.4444 0.4505 0.4558 0.4683 0.4733 0.4846 0.4889 0.5096 0.5177 0.5278 0.5347 0.5433 0.5442 0.5508 0.5527 0.5606 0.5607 0.5671 0.5753 0.5828 0.6030 0.6050 0.6136 0.6261 0.6395 0.6469 0.6512 0.6816 0.6994 0.7048 0.7292 0.7430 0.7455 0.7798 0.7984 0.8147 0.8230 0.8302 0.8342 0.9794”. The data were initially examined in terms of outliers by drawing a box-plot, and TTT was obtained and compared to the hazard line, and we noticed that the data did not contain outliers and also TTT is an increasing vector, and this corresponds to the hazard line; see Figure 5.

9. Conclusions and Summary
In this article, we proposed a new two-parameter distribution called the KMPTL distribution. Several statistical and mathematical aspects of the KMPTL distribution, such as the qf, moments, generating function, and incomplete moments, are determined by calculating. Some measures of entropy are investigated. The CRRE is computed. To estimate the parameters of the KMPTL distribution, both ML and Bayesian estimation methods are used under SRS and RSS. The simulation investigation was conducted to estimate the model parameters of the KMPTL distribution utilizing SRS and RSS in order to demonstrate that RSS is better than SRS. Using two real-world datasets, we proved that the KMPTL distribution has greater flexibility than the PTL distribution and the other nine competing statistical distributions.
