Abstract

This paper introduces a new flexible extension of power generalized Weibull distribution which contains many life-time distributions as sub-models. The hazard rate function of the proposed distribution is useful and suitable for monotone and non-monotone hazard behaviors that are more likely to be observed in real-life situations. Statistical properties of the new model are studied including; quantile, moment generating, reliability, hazard, and reverse hazard functions. Further, the moments, incomplete moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, order statistics densities are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate the distribution parameters. The effectiveness and usefulness of the new distribution are accomplished through four different real-life applications.
