Abstract

We propose a generalized class of distributions called the Webull-G Power Series (WGPS) family of distributions and its sub-model Weibull-G logarithmic (WGL) distributions. Structural properties of the WGPS family of distributions and its sub-model WGL distribution including hazard function, moments, conditional moments, order statistics, R´enyi entropy and maximum likelihood estimates are derived. A simulation study to examine the bias, mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators for each parameter is presented. Finally, real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed model.
