In recent decades, strategies devised to address challenges in life testing have noticeably veered away from those designed for related yet more intricate issues. The increasing complexity of data generated daily across practical fields has given rise to a novel realm in reliability that includes life classes and specific probability distributions. This study serves as an illustration of the effectiveness of integrating the goodness-of-fit technique into life testing quandaries, resulting in more efficient processes comparable to or surpassing traditional methods.

In this paper, we construct the predictive interval of unobserved units in the same sample (one sample prediction) and the future sample based on the current sample (two-sample prediction). The used samples are generated from new Weibull-Pareto distribution due to a progressive type-II censoring scheme.

Some of its statistical and reliability properties including order statistics, hazard rate function, reversed hazard rate function, mode, factorial moments, probability generating function, moment generating function, index of dispersion, Shannon entropy, Mills ratio, mean residual life function, and associated measures are investigated. All these properties can be expressed in explicit forms.

From the perspective of frequentism, we derive the point estimations through the method of maximum likelihood estimation. Besides, delta method is implemented to construct the variances of the reliability characteristics.

We have derived various mathematical properties of the proposed family, including quantile function, skewness, kurtosis, moments, incomplete moments, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, probability weighted moments, moments of (reversed) residual lifetime, entropy and order statistics. After producing the general class, two of the corresponding parametric statistical models are outlined.

Omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), were shown to have therapeutic anti-inflammatory and protective actions in inflammatory diseases including periodontitis. The goal of this study was to test an innovative strategy for periodontal treatment in a clinical experiment.
