Abstract

This paper considers three special cases: Exponential, Rayleigh and Lindley of a family of generalized distributions, called alpha power Weibull G (APW-G) family. Some essential and valuable statistical properties of the family of distributions are obtained. The proposed distributions are very flexible and can be used to model data with decreasing, increasing or bathtub-shaped hazard rates. Model parameters estimation and a simulation study is carried out to evaluate the behaviors of the parameters. We consider two worthwhile data sets to illustrate the finding of the paper.
