Exponentiated Weibull Weibull Distribution: Statistical Properties and Applications

Exponentiated Weibull Weibull Distribution: Statistical Properties and Applications

We introduce a new five-parameter model related to Weibull distribution, the so called.exponentiated Weibull Weibull (EWW) distribution. It incluides some new and earlierdistributions. Fundamental properties are deduced. We deal with maximum likelihood(ML) method to obtain parameter estimators. The interest of the recommendeddistribution is confirmed through real data sets.
