A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

A new four-parameter model called the Marshall-Olkin extended generalized Gompertz distribution is introduced. Its hazard rate function can be constant, increasing, decreasing, upside-down bathtub or bathtub-shaped depending on its parameters. Some mathematical properties of this model such as expansion for the density function, moments, moment generating function, quantile function, mean deviations, mean residual life, order statistics and Rényi entropy are derived. The maximum likelihood technique is used to estimate the unknown model parameters and the observed information matrix is determined. The applicability of the proposed model is shown by means of a real data set.
