In the present study, we established a new statistical model named as weighted inverse Maxwell
distribution (WIMD). Its several statistical properties including moments, moment generating
function, characteristics function, order statistics, shanon entropy has been discussed. The
expression for reliability, mode, harmonic mean, hazard rate function has been derived. In
addition, it also contains some special cases that are well known. Moreover, the behavior of
probability density function (p.d.f) has been shown through graphs by choosing different values
of parameters. Finally, the performance of the proposed model is explained through two data sets.
By which we conclude that the established distribution provides better fit.

Key words: Weighted distribution, inverse Maxwell distribution, Reliability, mode, maximum likelihood estimation.

INTRODUCTION
James clark Maxwell and Ludwing Boltzman were known for their work in physics. They have proposed a continuous
statistical probability distribution which depicts average distribution matter particles that do not interact with each other
from one energy state to another state in thermal equilibrium This famous distribution is commonly known as Maxwell
distribution. It has wide applications in physics, chemistry, statistics and mechanics.

Weighted inverse Maxwell distribution (WIMD)
The weighted distributions have many practical applications to analyze real life data and have been used in various fields
such as biomedicine, ecology, reliability. Whenever existing statistical models does not providing a reliable results then
weighted analogue is used for the improvement of such distributions. Recently various authors have proposed and
analyzed different types of weighted as well as length biased distribution. Das et al introduced the Length biased weighted
Weibull distribution (2011). Abd El-Monsef et al (2015), proposed and studied various structural properties of the weighted
Kumaraswamy distribution. Afaq et al(2016) worked on the Length biased weighted Lomax distribution. Weighted inverse
Rayleigh distribution has been studied by Kawsar fatima et al (2017).Aijaz ahmad dar et al(2018), has introduced
characterization and estimation of weighted Maxwell distribution. Mudasir et al (2018), has introduced weighted version
of generalized inverse Weibull distribution and studied its several statistical properties. Hesham M et al (2017), has
established length biased Erlang distribution and discussed its various properties. In this paper, we create new distribution
which is a Weighted Inverse Maxwell distribution (WIMD) and discussing its several statistical properties.
Definition: suppose 𝑌 is a continuous random variate with p.d.f 𝑓(𝑦), then p.d.f of weighted variate 𝑌𝑤 is defined as.
𝑤(𝑦)𝑓(𝑦)
𝑓𝑤 (𝑦) = ,𝑦 > 0 (2.1)
𝐸[𝑤(𝑦)]
Where 𝑤(𝑦) is a non–negative weight function and 𝐸[𝑤(𝑦)] < ∞. Consider the weight function 𝑤(𝑦) = 𝑦 𝑘 for this
distribution.
The probability distribution function of weighted inverse Maxwell distribution is obtained by using equation (1.1),(1.3) and
(2.1), follows as.

DATA ANALYSIS

Data 1: In this section we provide an application which explains the performance of the newly developed distribution.
The data set has been taken from Gross and Clark (1975), which signifies the relief times of 20 patients getting an
analgesic. We use previous data to associate the fit of the newly developed model with inverse Maxwell distribution.
The data are follows.
1.1,1.4,1.3,1.7,1.9,1.8,1.6,2.2,1.7,2.7,4.1,1.8,1.5,1.2,1.4,3.0,1.7,2.3,1.6,2.0.

In order to compare the two distribution models, we consider the criteria like AIC (Akaike information criterion, AICC
(corrected Akaike information criterion) and BIC (Bayesian information criterion. The better distribution corresponds to
lesser AIC, AICC and BIC values.

From Table 1 and 2, it has been observed that the Weighted inverse Maxwell model have the lesser AIC, AICC, -
2logL and BIC values as compared to inverse Maxwell distribution. Hence, we can conclude that Weighted inverse
Maxwell distribution leads to a better fit as compared to inverse Maxwell model.

CONCLUSION

In this paper the weighted inverse Maxwell distribution has been established. Many times, classical distributions do not
provide better results for fitting different data taken from various fields.The weighted distributions in such conditions provide
an adequate result for analyzing data. Some statistical properties including moments, moment generating function,
characteristics function, mode, shanon entropy, survival function, hazard rate function has been discussed. The estimation
of the parameters of the established distribution has been estimated by the method of moments and maximum likelihood
estimator. Finally, the performance of the established distribution has been examined through two data sets. The
established distribution leads the compared one.
