Abstract

Abstract: The quest to generate distributions with more desirable and flexible properties for the modeling of data has led to an intense focus on the development of new families that are generalizations of existing distributions by researchers. A new family of distributions called the chen generated family is developed in this study. Its statistical properties such as the quantile, moments, incomplete moments, stochastic ordering and order statistics are derived by using the method of maximum likelihood, estimators for the parameters of the new family are developed. Three special distributions, Chen Burr III, Chen Kumaraswamy and Chen Weibull, are proposed from the new family, though it can generalize other distributions. A demonstration of the usefulness of the new family is performed using real dataset.
