contents In this paper, I utilize a variant of the Selberg--Delange method to find quantitative estimates of the sums \[M_{k,ω}(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{p_{1}(n)> y\\ n\leq x} } μ(n) {ω(n)-1\choose k-1},\] where $y$ can grow with $x$ but we must have $y\leq Y_0\exp(\mathscr{p}\frac{\log x}{(\log\log (x+1))^{1+ε}})$ with $Y_0,\mathscr{p},ε>0$. Moreover, I give preliminary upper bounds for the general range $1.9\leq y\leq x^{\frac{1}{k}}$. In addition, I formalize the notions of subradical and radical dominance and discuss their relevance to the analytic approach of the study of arithmetic functions. Lastly, I give a fascinating formula related to the derivatives of the gamma function and the Hankel contour, which should be relevant for those employing the Selberg--Delange method to obtain higher-order terms.
