Abstract

This paper introduces a new distribution named Exponential Modified Weibull logistic distribution. This distribution generalizes the following distributions: (1) Linear Failure Rate Logistic Distribution, (2) Weibull Logistic Distribution, (3) Rayleigh Logistic Distribution, (4) Exponential Logistic Distribution, where the failure rate, Weibull, Rayleigh and exponential distributions are the distributions most used for analyzing lifetime data. The properties of the new distribution are derived that include expressions for the rthmoment, characteristic function and quantile function. The estimation of model parameters are performed by the method of maximum likelihood and hence evaluation of the performance of maximum likelihood estimation using simulation.
