The α-decay half-lives for the isotopes of nuclei W, Re, Os, Ir and Pt in the range 157≤A≤193, have been studied by using the Modified Generalised Liquid Drop Model (MGLDM). The half-lives predicted for some even-even nuclei by using the deformed Two Potential Approach (TPA) [Comm. Theo. Phys. 74, 055301 (2022)] are considered and included for the comparison. Additionally, we have analysed the α-decay half-lives using seven ℓ-dependent empirical formulae, and compared the results with the experimental data. The standard deviation and the average deviation for log10T1/2 by using MGLDM is obtained as 0.6025 and 0.5403, respectively. Also, the results of MGLDM match well with predictions of TPA, with standard deviation of 0.47 and 0.44 respectively. A dip in the half-life curve or a peak in the decay energy curve at 82, a magic neutron number of the daughter nuclei of W74158 increases the viability of the calculations. Also, the linear nature of Geiger-Nuttall law, Universal law, the relation connecting log10T1/2 and ZQα-1/2, and the New Geiger-Nuttall law helps to calculate the half-lives of newly synthesized and unknown isotopes, making MGLDM more reliable.
