Discrete Type II Topp Leone Inverted Weibull Distribution: Properties and Estimation

Abstract

In this paper, a new distribution with three parameters named Discrete Type II Topp Leone inverted Weibull (DTIITLIW) distribution is derived using the Type II Topp Leone family and the general approach of discretization of a distribution. Some of the statistical properties are obtained for the new distribution. Different estimation procedures are used to estimate the model parameters; moments and maximum likelihood methods. The importance and flexibility of the new distribution DTIITLIW is assessed using a real data set.
