Abstract
In this paper we consider the exponentiated modified Weibull distribution. The modified Weibull distribution, Weibull distribution and the exponentiated exponential distribution are found to be particular cases of this family. We derive the analytical shape of the corresponding density functions and hazard rate functions. The rth moment and the moment generating function are determined. Finally the distribution of order statistics and the least squares estimators of the parameters are discussed.
