ABSTRACT
We present in this paper further mathematical properties of the Odd Kappa-G family of distributions. These structural properties of this family hold for any baseline model including characterizations results based on two truncated moments and hazard and reversed hazard functions. In addition, th lower record values and extreme values of this Odd Kappa-G family are introduced. Lastly, the bivariate probability distributions of the Odd Kapp-G (BFGMOKG) family based on FGM copula are obtained.
1. Introduction
In recent decades, many classical distributions have been widely employed for data modeling in a variety of fields such as demographics, economics, finance, insurance, biological research, medicine, engineering, environment and actuarial sciences. However, because of their lack of flexibility, various methods for generating new distributions from these old ones have piqued the interest of theoretical and applied statisticians in recent years
Albert & Olkin (Citation1997) suggested an innovative method for adding a new parameter to an existing distribution in order to create a more flexible new family of distributions. Eugene et al. (Citation2002) proposed a new class of distributions based on the beta distribution. M.C. Jones (Citation2009) and Gauss & de Castro (Citation2011) extended the beta-generated technique with the Kumaraswamy distribution as a generator instead of beta distribution.
Other known generators, just to mention a few, include gamma-G type 1 by Zografos & Balakrishnan (Citation2009), gamma-G type 2 by Miroslav & Balakrishnan (Citation2012), gamma-G type 3 by Torabi & Montazeri Hedesh (Citation2012), McDonald-G (Mc-G) by Alexander et al. (Citation2012), Weibull-G by Bourguignon et al. (Citation2014), Transformed-Transformer (T-X) by Alzaatreh et al. (Citation2013), exponentiated (T-X) by Alzaghal et al. (Citation2013), T-X Y
-quantile based approach by Aljarrah et al. (Citation2014), T-R

by Alzaatreh et al. (Citation2014). alpha power transformation introduced by Mahdavi & Kundu (Citation2017). Furthermore, Al-Shomrani et al. (Citation2016) established the Topp–Leone family of distributions by employing the Topp–Leone distribution. Moreover, Al-Shomrani (Citation2018) introduced new generalized statistical probability distributions based on extensions of beta and hypergeometric distributions. For other revisions of other generators, see M. C. Jones (Citation2015), Famoye et al. (Citation2013), Lee et al. (Citation2013), Tahir & Nadarajah (Citation2015) and Muhammad & Gauss (Citation2016).
The Kappa distribution, an attractive asymmetric distribution, was introduced by Paul (Citation1973) and Paul & Earl (Citation1973). This distribution has recently received increased attention in hydro-logical research for the use in the evaluation of precipitation, stream-flow and wind speed data. The three-parameter Kappa cumulative distribution function (cdf; (Paul & Earl, Citation1973)) is
where and
are shape parameters and
is a scale parameter. The probability density function (pdf) is
Note that if , the three-parameter Kappa distribution reduces to one-parameter Kappa distribution. Also, if
, the three-parameter Kappa distribution reduces to two-parameter Kappa distribution.
The Kappa distribution was extended in certain ways. Hussain (Citation2015) suggested three expanded versions of the Kappa distribution: Kumaraswamy generalized Kappa (KGK), McDonald generalized Kappa (McGK) and Exponentiated generalized Kappa (EGK). The author examined the different statistical characteristics of those new extended forms, used different approaches to assess their unknown parameters and applied these models to real-world datasets. Javed et al. (Citation2019) proposed the Marshall-Olkin Kappa (MOK) distribution while Nawaz et al. (Citation2020), derived from Hussain (Citation2015), offered the Kumaraswamy generalized Kappa (KGK) distribution.
As an extension of Kappa distribution with its cdf and pdf is shown, respectively, in EquationEquation (1.1)(1.1)
(1.1) and (Equation1.2
(1.2)
(1.2) ), Al-Shomrani & Al-Arfaj (Citation2021) presented a new flexible family of distributions called the Odd Kappa-G family whose cdf is defined as
The pdf of the Odd Kappa-G family of distributions can be expressed as follows:
where and
.
and
are, respectively, the cdf and pdf of the baseline distribution with parameter(s)
. Moreover, the survival or reliability function (sf) of the Odd Kappa-G family of distributions is defined as the following:
Let ,
,
and
. These shortcuts will be used throughout the paper when there is no confusion involved. EquationEquation (1.4)
(1.4)
(1.4) is most tractable when the cdf
and the pdf
have simple analytic expressions
Al-Shomrani & Al-Arfaj (Citation2021) provided a comprehensive study of the mathematical properties of this new family; for instance, linear expansions for its cdf and pdf and explicit expressions for quantile function, the ordinary and incomplete moments, moment generating function, order statistics, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, mean residual life, mean waiting time, mean deviations, entropy and other mathematical properties are derived. In this paper, further mathematical properties of this family such as characterization results of the Odd Kappa-G family based on two truncated moments and hazard and reversed hazard functions will be discussed. In addition, th lower record values and extreme values of this Odd Kappa-G family are introduced. Lastly, the bivariate probability distributions of the Odd Kapp-G (BFGMOKG) family based on FGM copula are obtained. These topics will be introduced and studied thoroughly in this paper.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce some characterization results of the Odd Kappa-G family including characterizations based on two truncated moments, hazard and reversed hazard functions. We discuss the th lower record values of the Odd Kappa-G family in Section 3. In Section 4, extreme values for this family are presented. The bivariate cdf, pdf and sf of the Odd Kappa-G family based on FGM copula are obtained in Section 5. Finally, we give some concluding remarks in Section 6.
2. Characterizations results
2.1. Characterizations based on two truncated moments
In this section, we give characterizations of the Odd Kappa-G family of distributions in terms of a simple connection between two truncated moments. The characterization findings reported here will make use of intriguing theorem from Glänzel (Citation1987) stated below. Because of the nature of the Odd Kappa-G family of distributions, we feel that our characterizations of Odd Kappa-G distribution may be the only ones conceivable. In this regard, we would like to highlight the work of Glänzel (Citation1987, Citation1990), Glänzel & Hamedani (Citation2001) and Hamedani (Citation2010).
Theorem 2.1 (Glänzel, Citation1987). Suppose be a given probability space and let
be a continuous random variable with distribution function
, where
for some
;
and
are not excluded. Let
and

. Then,
is uniquely determined by the functions
, particularly
where the function is a solution of the differential equation
and
is a constant, chosen to make
.
Remark 1. In the aforementioned Theorem 2.1, we could take which reduces the condition to
but in terms of application, adding this function provides a lot more flexibility.
Proposition 1. Suppose be a continuous random variable and let
and for
. The pdf of
is (1.4) if and only if the function
defined in Theorem 2.1 has the form
Proof. Using the same proof techniques used in Proposition 6 on page 83 in the work by Merovci et al. (Citation2016), let has pdf (1.4); then, for

Corollary 2.2. Suppose be a continuous random variable and let

Remark 2. (1) The general solution of this differential equation in Corollary 2.2 is
where is a constant. One set of appropriate functions
that fulfill the aforementioned differential equation is given in Proposition 1 with
.
(2) It should be observed, however, that there are triplets that meet the criteria of Theorem 2.1.
2.2. Characterizations based on hazard function
Definition 2.3. Assume that be an absolutely continuous distribution with the associated pdf

The hazard function () of a twice differentiable distribution function (
) is known to satisfy the first-order differential equation
The Proposition 2 that follows offers a non-trivial characterization of the Odd Kappa-G distribution, which does not have the trivial form given in Equation (2.2).
Proposition 2. Assume be a continuous random variable. For
, the pdf of
is (1.4) if and only if its hazard function
satisfies the differential equation
Proof. Suppose has pdf (1.4), then the above differential Equationequation (2.3

(2.3) ) holds, then
or
which is the hazard function of the Odd Kappa-G distribution for .
2.3. Characterizations based on the reversed hazard function
Definition 2.4. Assume that be an absolutely continuous distribution with the associated pdf
. The reversed hazard function indicated by
and corresponding to
is defined by
The reversed hazard function () of a twice differentiable distribution function (
) is known to satisfy the first-order differential equation
The following Proposition 3 provides a non-trivial characterization of the Odd Kappa-G distribution, which does not have the simple form provided in Equation (2.4).
Proposition 3. Let be a continuous random variable. For
, the pdf of
is (1.4) if and only if its reversed hazard function
satisfies the differential equation
Proof. let has pdf (1.4), then the above differential Equationequation (2.5
(2.5)
(2.5) ) clearly holds. Conversely, if the differential Equationequation (2.5
(2.5)
(2.5) ) holds, then
or

th Lower record values
Chandler (Citation1952) developed the notion of record values as a model for dependence structure of successive extremes in a sequence of randomly independently and identically generated variables. This indicates that the distribution of system component life-lengths may shift once each component fails. Many real-world applications requiring data relating to economics, sports, weather and life testing problems use record values. Therefore, the statistical analysis of record values has now been extended in many ways. Dziubdziela & Kopociński (Citation1976) proposed the limiting distribution of th upper record values by observing successive
largest values in a sequence, where
is a positive integer. Many researchers have thought about characterizing distributions using conditional expectation of record values (Al-Shomrani, Citation2016a; Al-Shomrani & Shawky, Citation2016; M. Franco & Ruiz, Citation1996; Hamid Khan et al., Citation2010; López Bláquez & Luis Moreno Rebollo, Citation1997; Manuel Franco & Jose, Citation1997; H. N. Nagaraja, Citation1988a and Al-Shomrani, Citation2016b). Further information on the theory of records and their characterizations and distributional properties can be found in, for example, Ahsanullah (Citation1995, Citation2004), Barry et al. (Citation1998), Deheuvels (Citation1984), H.N. Nagaraja (Citation1988b; Nevzorov (Citation2001) and references therein.
Let denote the
th lower record value. The pdf
of the
th lower record value, for
, from independently and identically distributed (iid) random variables
from the Odd Kappa-G distribution is given by (Ahsanullah, Citation2004; Barry et al., Citation1998)
By expanding the logarithm function in power series, we obtain
See equation (1.512) on page 53 in the work by Solomonovich Gradshteyn & Moiseevich Ryzhik (Citation2007).
By using the binomial expansion, we have
See equation (1.111) on page 25 in the work by Solomonovich Gradshteyn & Moiseevich Ryzhik (Citation2007). This is the same as
since . Therefore,
From which we have
where . Then,
where
See equation (0.314) on page 17 in the work by Solomonovich Gradshteyn & Moiseevich Ryzhik (Citation2007). Therefore,
From Proposition 5.1 in the work by Al-Shomrani & Al-Arfaj (Citation2021), we have
and
Substituting (3.2) and (3.3) into (3.1), we obtain
From which we have
where
See equation (0.314) on page 17 in the work by Solomonovich Gradshteyn & Moiseevich Ryzhik (Citation2007). Then, from EquationEquation (3.4)(3.4)
(3.4) , we have
where
EquationEquation (3.5)(3.5)
(3.5) is the main result of this section. This shows that the pdf of the Odd Kappa-G
th lower record values is a triple linear combination of Exp-G densities. Some properties of the exp-G distributions are discussed by Gupta et al. (Citation1998), Nadarajah & Kotz (Citation2006) and Al-Hussaini & Ahsanullah (Citation2015) among others.
4. Extreme values
Let be a random sample from the pdf of the Odd Kappa-G distribution as in EquationEquation (1.4)
(1.4)
(1.4) and
denote the sample mean; then, the distribution of
approaches the standard normal distribution as
by the usual central limit theorem under suitable conditions. In some cases, it is of interest to consider the asymptotic distributions of the extremes of order statistics
and
. For further information in this topic, see, for instance, Coles (Citation2001), Galambos (Citation1987), Haan & Ferreira (Citation2006), Kotz & Nadarajah (Citation2000), Sidney (Citation1987) and Arnold et al. (Citation2008).
First, suppose that belongs to the maximal domain of attraction of the Gumbel extreme value distribution (see, Leadbetter et al., Citation2012). Let
be the upper (right) end point of the cdf
. Then, there must exist a strictly positive function, say
, such that
for every . Let
be the upper (right) end point of the cdf
. But, using L’Hopital’s rule and assuming
, we have
for every . Hence, it follows that
also belongs to the maximal domain of attraction of the Gumbel extreme value distribution with
for some appropriate choices of the norming constants and
, where
represents a shift in location and
represents a change in scale. For instance, it follows from Corollary 1.6.3 in the work by Leadbetter et al. (Citation2012) that the normalizing constants are
and
.
Second, assume that belongs to the maximal domain of attraction of the Fréchet extreme value distribution (see, Leadbetter et al., Citation2012). Then,
and there must exist a
such that
for every . Therefore,
and by using L’Hopital’s rule, we note that
for every . So, it follows that
also belongs to the maximal domain of attraction of the Fréchet extreme value distribution with
for some appropriate choices of the norming constants and
. For example, it follows from Corollary 1.6.3 in the work by Leadbetter et al. (Citation2012) that the normalizing constants are
and that
satisfies
.
Third, Let belong to the maximal domain of attraction of the Weibull extreme value distribution (see, Leadbetter et al., Citation2012). Then,
and there must exist a
such that
for every . Then, since
and by using L’Hopital’s rule, we have
for every . Hence, it follows that
also belongs to the maximal domain of attraction of the Weibull extreme value distribution with
for some suitable choices of the norming constants and
. For instance, it follows from Corollary 1.6.3 in the work by Leadbetter et al. (Citation2012) that the normalizing constants are
and
.
Similar arguments can be obtained for minimal domains of attraction. That is, belongs to the same minimal domain of attraction as that of
. For instance, since the normal distribution belongs to the maximal/minimal domain of attraction of the Gumbel extreme value distribution, it follows that the Odd-Kappa normal distribution also belongs to the maximal/minimal domain of attraction of the Gumbel extreme value distribution.
5. FGM copula
Copulas were introduced by Roger (Citation2006) as a function that combines multivariate distribution functions with uniform [0,1] margins. Sklar (Citation1996) defined the cdf and pdf for two-dimensional copulas as follows: given two random variables X and Y with, respectively, distribution functions F(x) and F(y), the cdf and pdf for bivariate copulas were provided, respectively, as
and
where and
is a parameter vector for the first variable
, and
is a parameter vector for the second variable
. Moreover, the sf for bivariate copulas was defined by Roger (Citation2006) as
From Sklar’s theorem and using EquationEquation (5.1)(5.1)
(5.1) -(Equation5.3
(5.3)
(5.3) ) and Odd Kappa-G family EquationEquation (1.3)
(1.3)
(1.3) -(Equation1.5
(1.5)
(1.5) ), we get the joint cdf, pdf and sf of bivariate Odd Kappa-G family based on any copula function, respectively, as the following:
and
Many copulas, such as Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM), have been defined using EquationEquation (5.1)(5.1)
(5.1) -(Equation5.3
(5.3)
(5.3) ). The FGM copula is one of the most well-known parametric families of copulas explored by Gumbel (Citation1960), Morgenstern (Citation1956) and Farlie (Citation1960). In addition, it is considered to be the most effective in describing quantity dependence. Sriboonchitta & Kreinovich (Citation2018), Almetwally (Citation2019) and El-Sherpieny et al. (Citation2021) discussed the FGM copula in order to introduce the bivariate Weibull distribution.
For the FGM copula, we know that its copula function and the associated copula density are, respectively
and
where . Note that, if
, then
and
are independent.
Using the FGM copula function given in EquationEquation (5.7)(5.7)
(5.7) and (Equation5.8
(5.8)
(5.8) ) and the bivariate Odd Kapp-G family based on any copula function in EquationEquation (5.4)
(5.4)
(5.4) -(Equation5.6
(5.6)
(5.6) ), we get the bivariate cdf, pdf and sf of the Odd Kapp-G (BFGMOKG) family based on FGM copula as follows:
and
The bivariate pdf of the BFGMOKG family given in Equation (5.9) has Odd Kappa-G family marginals. The marginal density functions for X and Y, respectively, are
and
The conditional cdf and pdf of X given Y, respectively, are
and
Similarly, the conditional cdf and pdf of Y given X, respectively, are
and
Some measures of dependence were presented by Roger (Citation2006). One of these is Kendall’s tau correlation (), which is defined as the difference between the probabilities of concordance and discordance, given in terms of any copula function as
Using FGM copula function, Kendall’s tau correlation () is
The other one is the median regression curve of Y on X, which is a method for describing the dependence of one random variable on another, for any copula as follows:
By using FGM copula function, the median regression model of BFGMOKG family is as the following:
Let and
. After simplifications, we have
Thus, the median regression curve of V on U is the line in connecting the points
and
. Furthermore, the median regression line is
when
, and
when
. Moreover, the slope of the median regression line is
. As an illustration, see .
6. Concluding remarks
