On The Beta Exponential Pareto Distribution
Abstract
In this article we propose and study the so-called beta exponential Pareto (BEP) distribution. Several lifetime distributions such as the beta Weibull, beta exponential, beta Rayleigh, generalized Weibull, Weibull among others are embedded in the proposed distribution. Various mathematical properties of the BEP distribution are presented. We also discuss the parameter estimation methods and simulation issues. The importance and flexibility of the proposed model are illustrated by means of real data analysis.References
