Description
Summary:This paper introduces a two-parameter family of distributions which includes the ordinary exponential distribution as a special case. This distribution exhibits monotone hazard rate and may be a competitor to the families of two parameter gamma and Weibull distributions. Various statistical and reliability aspects of this model is explored. Several numerical examples based on real data show the flexibility of the new distribution for modeling proposes.
