TLDR
The Weibull distribution is the most important distribution for problems in reliability as discussed by the authors, and it has been studied extensively in the literature, including in the context of the wider Weibbull-G family of distributions.
Abstract
The Weibull distribution is the most important distribution for problems in reliability. We study some mathematical properties of the new wider Weibull-G family of distributions. Some special models in the new family are discussed. The properties derived hold to any distribution in this family. We obtain general explicit expressions for the quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function and order statistics. We discuss the estimation of the model parameters by maximum likelihood and illustrate the potentiality of the extended family with two applications to real data.

Modified Odd Weibull Family of Distributions: Properties and Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified odd Weibull-G (MOW-G) family of continuous distributions is studied, which has the feature to use the Weibbull distribution as main generator and a new modification of the odd transformation, opening new horizon in terms of statistical modelling.

The Exponentiated Weibull-Power Function Distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the exponentiated Weibull power function distribution (EWEF) was proposed as an extension of the two-parameter power function and a generalization of the Weibell power function.

The odd generalized half-logistic Weibull-G family of distributions: properties and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the odd generalized half logistic Weibull-G family of distributions was proposed, and a characterization based on conditional expectation was presented to examine efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimates.

On the Nature of the Function Expressive of the Law of Human Mortality, and on a New Mode of Determining the Value of Life Contingencies

TL;DR: The frequent opportunities I have had of receiving pleasure from your writings and conversation, have induced me to prefer offering to the Royal Society through your medium, this Paper on Life Contingencies, which forms part of a continuation of my original paper on the same subject, published among the valuable papers of the Society, as by passing through your hands it may receive the advantage of your judgment.

Generalized Exponential Distributions

TL;DR: In this article, a three-parameter generalized exponential distribution (GED) was used for analysis of lifetime data, which is a particular case of the exponentiated Weibull distribution originally proposed by Mudholkar et al.

Exponentiated Weibull family for analyzing bathtub failure-rate data

TL;DR: In this article, a simple generalization of the Weibull distribution is presented, which is well suited for modeling bathtub failure rate lifetime data and for testing goodness-of-fit of the weibull and negative exponential models as subhypotheses.
