A New Family of Distributions Based on Amalgamation of Two Methods with an Application to the Rayleigh Model

Abstract

In this paper, we present the Alpha power generalized odd generalized exponential-G (APGOGE-G) family of distributions and provides the most common shapes of the hazard rate function: increasing, decreasing, bathtub, and inverted bathtub. We provide some of its structural properties. We estimate the parameters by maximum likelihood estimation method, and perform a simulation study to verify the asymptotic properties of the estimator for the inverse Weibull baseline. The practicality of the new APGOGE-Rayleigh model is shown through application to uncensored real dataset.
