  • Abstract

    A new distribution called the beta-Burr type V distribution that extends the Burr type V distribution was defined, investigated and estab-lished. The properties examined provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of the distribution. Additionally, various structural proper-ties of the new distribution verified include probability density function verification, asymptotic behavior, Hazard Rate Function and the cumulative distribution. Subsequently, we used the maximum likelihood estimation procedure to estimate the parameters of the new distribu-tion. Application of real data set indicates that this new distribution would serve as a good alternative distribution function to model real- life data in many areas.
