Abstract

‎A new generalized family of distributions called the odd power generalized Weibull-G family of distributions is developed‎. Some ‎properties of the new family of distributions including quantile function‎, ‎moments‎, ‎incomplete and probability weighted moments‎, ‎distribution of the order statistics and Renyi entropy are derived‎. ‎Estimation of model parameters using maximum likelihood estimation technique and simulation study to examine the bias and mean square error are discussed‎. ‎Applications to real data sets to illustrate the applicability of the generalized family of distributions is also given‎.
