A new generalization of the Remkan distribution and its application to survival data
Main Article Content
Abstract
Due to the increasing need for flexibility in baseline distribution, this study proposes a new generalization of the two-parameter Remkan distribution using the Alpha Power Transformed technique. Important statistical properties of the new distribution such as the reliability measures, the order statistics, moments and other related measures, and moment generating function were derived and the model parameters estimated using the maximum likelihood estimate technique. Finally, the flexibility of the new distribution was illustrated using two real life datasets and the results showed that the new Alpha Power Transformed Remkan distribution was the best amongst other competing three-parameter distributions.
