Abstract: A new distribution, the Weibull-Rayleigh distribution, is introduced, and various properties of the distribution are provided. Two real data sets are used to illustrate the applicability of the Weibull-Rayleigh distribution.<br />1. Introduction The Weibull distribution has been widely used in lifetime studying, reliability, and fitting a best model to data. To add flexibility to the Weibull distribution, various generalizations of [...]
