T-Transmuted X Family of Distributions

Abstract

Using the quadratic transmutation map (QRTM) approach of Shaw and Buckley (2007) and the T - X family method by Alzaatreh et al. (2013b), we have developed a new family of distributions called T -transmuted X family of distributions. Many of the existing family of distributions are sub models of this family. As a special case, exponential transmuted exponential (ETE) distribution is studied in detail. The application and flexibility of this new distribution is illustrated using two real data sets.
