The Harris Extended Exponential Distribution

TLDR
In this paper, a new lifetime distribution is proposed and studied, where the Harris extended exponential is obtained from a mixture of the exponential and Harris distributions, which arises from a branching process, and several structural properties of the new distribution are discussed, including moments, generating function and order statistics.
Abstract
A new lifetime distribution is proposed and studied. The Harris extended exponential is obtained from a mixture of the exponential and Harris distributions, which arises from a branching process. Several structural properties of the new distribution are discussed, including moments, generating function and order statistics. The new distribution can model data with increasing or decreasing failure rate. The shape of the hazard rate function is controlled by one of the added parameters in an uncomplicated manner. An application to a real dataset illustrates the usefulness of the new distribution.

A new method for adding a parameter to a family of distributions with application to the exponential and Weibull families

TL;DR: In this article, a new way of introducing a parameter to expand a family of distributions is introduced and applied to yield a new two-parameter extension of the exponential distribution which may serve as a competitor to such commonly-used twoparameter families of life distributions as the Weibull, gamma and lognormal distributions.
