The beta-burr type v distribution: its properties and application to real life data

Abstract

A new distribution called the beta-Burr type V distribution that extends the Burr type V distribution was defined, investigated and established. The properties examined provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of the distribution. Additionally, various structural properties of the new distribution verified include probability density function verification, asymptotic behavior, Hazard Rate Function and the cumulative distribution. Subsequently, we used the maximum likelihood estimation procedure to estimate the parameters of the new distribution. Application of real data set indicates that this new distribution would serve as a good alternative distribution function to model real-life data in many areas.
