Abstract

This paper proposes a new flexible four-parameter model called Marshall–Olkin power generalized Weibull (MOPGW) distribution which provides symmetrical, reversed-J shaped, left-skewed and right-skewed densities, and bathtub, unimodal, increasing, constant, decreasing, J shaped, and reversed-J shaped hazard rates. Some of the MOPGW structural properties are discussed. The maximum likelihood is utilized to estimate the MOPGW unknown parameters. Simulation results are provided to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood method. Finally, we illustrate the importance of the MOPGW model, compared with some rival models, via two real data applications from the engineering and medicine fields.
