Generalized Beta-Exponential Weibull Distribution and its Applications

In this article, we investigate a distribution called the generalized beta-exponential Weibull distribution. Beta exponential x family of link function which is generated from family of generalized distributions is used in generating the new distribution. Its density and hazard functions have different shapes and contains special case of distributions that have been proposed in literature such as beta-Weibull, beta exponential, exponentiated-Weibull and exponentiated-exponential distribution. Various properties of the distribution were obtained namely; moments, generating function, Renyi entropy and quantile function. Estimation of model parameters through maximum likelihood estimation method and observed information matrix are derived. Thereafter, the proposed distribution is illustrated with applications to two different real data sets. Lastly, the distribution clearly shown that is better fitted to the two data sets than other distributions.
