TRANSMUTED EXPONENTIATED EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION

TRANSMUTED EXPONENTIATED EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION

In this article, we generalize the exponentiated exponential distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map studied by Shaw etal. [6] to develop a transmuted exponentiated exponential distribution. Theproperties of this distribution are derived and the estimation of the model parameters is discussed. An application to real data set are finally presented forillustration
