Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution based on the generalized DUS transformation by using Weibull distribution as the baseline distribution. This new distribution exhibits various behaviour of hazard function like increasing, decreasing and inverse bathtub. Here we try to study the characteristics of the new distribution and also analyse a real data set to illustrate the flexibility of the model.
