Abstract

We develop the new Kumaraswamy Log-Logistic Weibull (KLLoGW) distribution by combining the Kumaraswamy and Log-logistic Weibull distributions. This new model is flexible for modelling lifetime data. Some statistical properties including quantile function, hazard rate function, moments and conditional moments are presented. Model parameters are estimated via the method of maximum likelihood and a Monte Carlo simulation study conducted to assess the accuracy of the estimates. Finally, the model is applied to a real dataset.
