Beta-Odd Generalized Exponential Family of Distribution

Abstract

In this research work, we introduce a new family of distributions termed the Beta Odd Generalized Exponential (BOGE) distribution. Various properties of the model are derived. We present and study three special cases of the BOGE family of distribution. Estimation for the parameters of the new distribution are discussed by the method of maximum likelihood. Applications to two real data sets are provided in order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed family of distributions which shows that it is better than some existing distributions.
