Abstract

A generalization of the Lomax distribution so-called the transmuted Lomax distribution is proposed and studied. Various structural properties including explicit expressions for the moments, quantiles, and mean deviations of the new distribution are derived. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood method. We hope that the new distribution proposed here will serve as an alternative model to the other models which are available in the literature for modeling positive real data in many areas.

Keywords

Lomax distribution, hazard rate function, reliability function, parameter estimation
