In probability theory, statistics and econometrics, the Burr Type XII distribution or simply the Burr distribution[2] is a continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. It is also known as the Singh–Maddala distribution[3] and is one of a number of different distributions sometimes called the "generalized log-logistic distribution".

Definitions

[edit]

Probability density function

[edit]

The Burr (Type XII) distribution has probability density function:[4][5]

👁 {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}f(x;c,k)&=ck{\frac {x^{c-1}}{(1+x^{c})^{k+1}}}\\[6pt]f(x;c,k,\lambda )&={\frac {ck}{\lambda }}\left({\frac {x}{\lambda }}\right)^{c-1}\left[1+\left({\frac {x}{\lambda }}\right)^{c}\right]^{-k-1}\end{aligned}}}

The 👁 {\displaystyle \lambda }
parameter scales the underlying variate and is a positive real.

Cumulative distribution function

[edit]

The cumulative distribution function is:

👁 {\displaystyle F(x;c,k)=1-\left(1+x^{c}\right)^{-k}}
👁 {\displaystyle F(x;c,k,\lambda )=1-\left[1+\left({\frac {x}{\lambda }}\right)^{c}\right]^{-k}}

Applications

[edit]

It is most commonly used to model household income, see for example: Household income in the U.S. and compare to magenta graph at right.

Random variate generation

[edit]

Given a random variable 👁 {\displaystyle U}
drawn from the uniform distribution in the interval 👁 {\displaystyle \left(0,1\right)}
, the random variable

👁 {\displaystyle X=\lambda \left({\frac {1}{\sqrt[{k}]{1-U}}}-1\right)^{1/c}}

has a Burr Type XII distribution with parameters 👁 {\displaystyle c}
, 👁 {\displaystyle k}
and 👁 {\displaystyle \lambda }
. This follows from the inverse cumulative distribution function given above.

Related distributions

[edit]
  • The Burr Type XII distribution is a member of a system of continuous distributions introduced by Irving W. Burr (1942), which comprises 12 distributions.[8]
  • The Dagum distribution, also known as the inverse Burr distribution, is the distribution of 1 / X, where X has the Burr distribution
