Abstract
The q-Weibull distribution is a stretched model for Weibull distribution, obtained by introducing a new pathway parameter q, which facilitates a slow transition to the Weibull as q → 1. In this article, we make a detailed study of the properties of the q-Weibull distribution and we apply it to a data on cancer remission times for which this distribution is a better fit than Weibull. Results relating to reliability properties, estimation of parameters, and applications in stress-strength analysis are also obtained.
