Abstract:The Weibull distribution has prominent applications in the engineering sector. However, due to its monotonic behavior of the hazard function, the Weibull model does not provide the best fit for data in many cases. This paper introduces a new family of distributions to obtain new flexible distributions. The proposed family is called a novel generalized-

family. Based on this approach, an updated version of the Weibull distr… Show more
