TRANSMUTED POWER FUNCTION DISTRIBUTION

This study provides a three parameter Transmuted Power Function distribution that is the generalization of the Power Function distribution. Structural properties of the proposed distribution was derived including survival, hazard rate, moments, quintiles, mode, Rényi entropy, smallest and largest densities of ordered statistics. Maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the model parameters. Two real data sets are used to compare the flexibility of the new model versus the other distributions
