Half-Logistic Odd Weibull-Topp-Leone-G Family of Distributions: Model, Properties and Applications

Abstract

A new flexible and versatile generalized family of distributions, namely, half logistic odd Weibull-Topp-Leone-G (HLOW-TL-G) distribution is presented. The distribution can be traced back to the exponentiated-G distribution. We derive the statistical properties of the proposed family of distributions. Maximum likelihood estimates of the HLOW-TL-G family of distributions are also presented. Five special cases of the proposed family are presented. A simulation study and real data applications on one of the special cases are also presented.
