Abstract:We propose a new family of distributions, so-called the unit ratio-extended Weibull family (U R E W). It is derived from ratio transformation in an extended Weibull random variable. The use of this transformation is a novelty of the work since it has been less explored than the exponential and has not yet been studied within the extended Weibull class. Moreover, we offer a valuable alternative to model double-bounded variables on the unit interval. Five U R E W special models are studied in detail, namely the:… Show more
