Abstract

In this paper, we propose Complementary Kumaraswamy Weibull Power Series (CKWPS) Distributions. The method is obtained by compounding the Kumaraswamy-G distribution and Power Series distribution on a latent complementary distance problem base. The mathematical properties of the proposed class of distribution are studied. The method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation is used for obtaining the estimates of the model parameters. A member of the family is investigated in detail. Finally an application of the proposed class is illustrated using a real data set.
