Abstract- In this paper, a Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumbel distribution (QTGD)
to an extended the work of Quartic transmuted distribution families. QTGD increases
the ability of the transmuted distributions to be flexible and facilitate the modelling of
more complex data. We study the main statistical properties of the Quartic transmuted
model, including its hazard rate function, moment-generating function, characteristic
function, quantile function, entropy, and order statistics. Finally, an application of QTGD
,using two real data sets are used to examine the ability to apply it and to observe the
performance of estimation techniques on a Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumbel(QTGD),
Cubic Transmuted Gumbel(CTGD), Transmuted Gumbel(TGD) and Gumbel(GD)
distributions. The observed results showed that QTGD gives better fit than CTGD,TGD,
and GD distributions for the applied data sets.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Gumbel distribution is named after Emil Julius Gumbel (1891–1966), based
on his original papers describing the distribution. The Gumbel distribution is a particular
case of the generalized extreme value distribution (also known as the Fisher-Tippett
distribution). It is also known as the log-Weibull distribution and the double exponential
distribution [9]. 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. Some of its recent application areas in engineering include flood
frequency analysis, network engineering, nuclear engineering, offshore engineering,
risk-based engineering, space engineering, software reliability engineering, structural
engineering, and wind engineering. A recent book by Kotz and Nadarajah [11], which
describes this distribution, lists over fifty applications ranging from accelerated life
testing through earthquakes, floods, horse racing, rainfall, queues in supermarkets, sea
currents, wind speeds, and track race records (to mention just a few).It is one of four
EVDs in common use. The other three are the Fréchet Distribution, the Weibull
Distribution, and the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution. The generalized extreme
value (GEV) distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions developed
within extreme value theory to combine the Gumbel, Fréchet, and Weibull families also
known as type I, II and III extreme value distributions. The probability density function
(PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for Gumbel distribution are defined
as follow,

Some extensions of the Gumbel distribution have previously been proposed. The
Beta Gumbel distribution,(Nadarajah et al. [13]), the Exponentiated Gumbel distribution
as a generalization of the standard Gumbel distribution introduced by Nadarajah
[12],and the Exponentiated Gumbel type-2 distribution, studied by Okorie et al. [14],
Transmuted Gumbel type-II distributton with applications in diverse fields of science by
Ahmad et al. [1], giving Transmuted exponentiated Gumbel distribution (TEGD) and its
application to water quality data of Deka et al. [7], and transmuted Gumbel distribution
(TGD) along with several mathematical properties has studied by Aryal and Tsokos [4]
using quadratic rank transmutation. Quadratic rank transmuted distribution has been
proposed by Shaw and Buckley [18]. A random variable X is said to have a quadratic rank
transmuted distribution if its cumulative distribution function is given by

transmuted Gumbel distribution is defined in Section 4. In Section 5 statistical
properties have been discussed, like shapes of the density and hazard rate functions,
quantile function, moments and moment-generating function, Characteristic Function ,
and cumulant generating function. Entropy in Section 6, for the Quartic transmuted
Gumbel distribution along with the distribution of order statistics in Section 7. Section 8
provides parameter estimation of Quartic transmuted Gumbel distribution. An
application of the QTGD to two real data sets for the purpose of illustration is conducted
in section 9. Finally, in Section 10, some conclusions are declared.

We can obtain the estimates of the unknown parameters by the maximum
likelihood method by setting these above nonlinear equations(48),(49),(50),(51)and(52)
to zero and solving them simultaneously. Therefore, statistical software can be
employed in obtaining the numerical solution to the nonlinear equations,We can
compute the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of parameters ( , , 1
,
2
,and 3
) using quasi-Newton procedure,or computer packages softwares such as R,
SAS, MATLAB, MAPLE and MATHEMATICA.
7 APPLICATIONS
In this section, the Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumble Distribution (QTGD) is
applied on two data sets as follows:
Data Set 1: The values of data about strengths of 1.5 cm glass fibers [19, 3]. The
data set is: 0.55, 0.74, 0.77, 0.81, 0.84, 0.93, 1.04, 1.11, 1.13, 1.24, 1.25, 1.27, 1.28, 1.29,

Summary statistics of the two data sets is demonstrated in Table 1. For the sake
of comparison and using these data sets, four alternative distributions:(QTGD) model,
the Gumbel distribution (GD) , transmuted Gumbel distribution (TGD) , Cubic
Transmuted Gumbel (CTGD) have been compared. The estimated values of the model
parameters along with corresponding standard errors are presented in Tables 2 and 4
for selected models using the MLE method.
In Tables 3 and 5, the goodness of fit of the Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumble
Distribution (QTGD)model,Cubic Transmuted Gumbel Distribution (CTGD), Transmuted
Gumbel Distribution (TGD) and the Gumbel distribution (GD) has been introduced using
different comparison measures we consider some criteria like (-2L )
( ): where is
L )
( the maximum value of log-likelihood function, AIC (Akaike Information
Criterion), AICc (Corrected Akaike Information Criterion) and BIC (Bayesian Information
Criterion),HQIC (Hanan-Quinn information criterion) and CAIC (Consistent Akaike
information criterion), for the data set. In general the better fit of the distribution
corresponds to the smaller value of the statistics (-2L )
( ) , AIC, CAIC, BIC, HQIC and
AICc.
Plots of the empirical and theoretical cdfs and pdfs for fitted distributions are
given in Figure 5, and Figure 6, respectively. These Figures shows that: the curve of the
pdf and cdf QTGD is closer to the curve of the sample of data than the curve of the pdf
and cdf of CTGD,TGD and GD . So, the QTGD is a better model than one based on the
CTGD,TGD and GD.

8. CONCLUSION
In this paper, the Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumbel Distribution has been
introduced. This distribution is high elastic to treat the complex data.The graphical
representations of pdf, cdf, reliability function, hazard function are given for various
value of the parameters.We have discussed some statistical properties of the Quartic
Rank Transmuted Gumbel Distribution (QTGD) are discussed including moments,
moment generating function, characteristic function, quantile function, reliability
function, hazard function ,Rényi Entropy, q-Entropy , Shannon entropy and order
statistics. The model parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. The
Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumbel Distribution has been applied on two real applications
and the obtained results showed that the Quartic Rank Transmuted Gumbel distribution
offers better appropriate than Gumbel , transmuted Gumbel and cubic transmuted
Gumbel distributions for the applied data sets.
