Abstract |
|
|
| In this work, a new lifetime model called transmuted exponentiated U-quadratic distribution is proposed. Various properties are computed and studied such as moments, moment generating function and Shannon entropy. It is shown that the usual maximum likelihood estimate fail to exist for the transmuted exponentiated U-quadratic distribution due to some irregularities, and suggested an alternative method for their parameter estimation called alternative maximum likelihood method and assessed by simulation studies. A real data application is provided for illustration.
