Abstract:
This paper derives a new four-parameter generalized exponential power lifetime probability model for life time data, which generalizes some well-known exponential power lifetime distributions. It is observed that our proposed new distribution bears most of the properties of skewed distributions in reliability and life testing context. It is skewed to the right as well as its failure rate function has the increasing and bathtub shape behaviors. The estimation of the parameters, and simulation and applications of the proposed model have also been discussed.
