The Nakagami–Weibull distribution in modeling real-life data

Abstract

In this article, a four-parameter Nakagami Weibull distributions (NW) is proposed. We study a few statistical properties such as quantile function, moments, moment generating function, entropy, and order statistics have been derived. The maximum likelihood estimate is used to estimate the parameter of the NW distribution. We fit the proposed NW distribution to a real-life data set to examine its potential and flexibility. Our findings showed that the NW distribution performs much better than its competitors, with favorable comparisons to existing distributions in terms of goodness-of-fit.
