Abstract

In this article, we introduce the Kumaraswamy Weibull distribution and discuss some features of this distribution.
That is a quite flexible model in analyzing positive data. It contains special sub-models the exponentiated Weibull, exponentiated Rayleigh,exponentiated exponential,Weibull and also the new Kumaraswamy exponential distribution, Explicit Expressions for moments, moment generating function, and also we present the results of the simulation on the distribution.
