Pages 1317-1336 | Published online: 02 Sep 2006
 

Abstract

The important extension of the Weibull family—the exponentiated Weibull distribution—is reviewed with various new statistical measures. An explicit expression for the mode is derived and a comparison between the authors'and Mudholkar and Hutson's results are tabulated for various values of the parameters of the distribution. A general formula for the mean residual life function is obtained.
