The Kaniadakis Weibull distribution (or κ-Weibull distribution) is a probability distribution arising as a generalization of the Weibull distribution.[1][2] It is one example of a Kaniadakis κ-distribution. The κ-Weibull distribution has been adopted successfully for describing a wide variety of complex systems in seismology, economy, epidemiology, among many others.

Definitions

[edit]

Probability density function

[edit]

The Kaniadakis κ-Weibull distribution is exhibits power-law right tails, and it has the following probability density function:[3]

valid for , where is the entropic index associated with the Kaniadakis entropy, is the scale parameter, and is the shape parameter or Weibull modulus.

The Weibull distribution is recovered as

Cumulative distribution function

[edit]

The cumulative distribution function of κ-Weibull distribution is given by

valid for . The cumulative Weibull distribution is recovered in the classical limit .

Survival distribution and hazard functions

[edit]

The survival distribution function of κ-Weibull distribution is given by

valid for . The survival Weibull distribution is recovered in the classical limit .

Comparison between the Kaniadakis κ-Weibull probability function and its cumulative.

The hazard function of the κ-Weibull distribution is obtained through the solution of the κ-rate equation:

with , where is the hazard function:

The cumulative κ-Weibull distribution is related to the κ-hazard function by the following expression:

where

is the cumulative κ-hazard function. The cumulative hazard function of the Weibull distribution is recovered in the classical limit : .

Asymptotic behavior

[edit]

The κ-Weibull distribution II behaves asymptotically as follows:[3]

[edit]
  • The κ-Weibull distribution is a generalization of:
  • A κ-Weibull distribution corresponds to a κ-deformed Rayleigh distribution when and a Rayleigh distribution when and .

Applications

[edit]

The κ-Weibull distribution has been applied in several areas, such as:

  • In economy, for analyzing personal income models, in order to accurately describing simultaneously the income distribution among the richest part and the great majority of the population.[1][4][5]
  • In seismology, the κ-Weibull represents the statistical distribution of magnitude of the earthquakes distributed across the Earth, generalizing the Gutenberg–Richter law,[6] and the interval distributions of seismic data, modeling extreme-event return intervals.[7][8]
  • In epidemiology, the κ-Weibull distribution presents a universal feature for epidemiological analysis.[9]
