Abstract

We explore a generalization of the Weighted Exponential (WE) distribution using the exponentiated class/family of distributions. The proposed model is named Exponentiated Weighted Exponential distribution and it serves as an alternative to both the Weighted Exponential distribution and the Exponential distribution. Some of the basic statistical properties of the proposed model are studied and provided. The method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) was proposed in estimating the parameters of the model
