Abstract
In this article, we introduced and studied exponentiated generalized Kumaraswamy distribution. We derived mathematical properties including quantile function, moment generating function, ordinary moments, probability weighted moments, incomplete moments, and Rényi entropy. The expressions of order statistics are also derived. Here we discuss the parameter estimation by using the method of maximum likelihood. We showed resilience of the introduced distribution over existing some well-known distributions by using real dataset applications.
