On a New Generalization of the Exponential Distribution

On a New Generalization of the Exponential Distribution

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...
