Exp-Kumaraswamy Distributions: Some Properties and Applications

In this paper, we propose and study exp-kumaraswamy distribution. Some of its properties are derived, including the density function, hazard rate function, quantile function, moments, skewness and kurtosis. A data set is used to illustrate an application of the proposed distribution. Also, we obtain a new distribution by transformation on exp-kumaraswamy distribution. New distribution is an alternative to skew-normal distribution. Basic properties of this new distribution, such as moment generating function, moments, skewness, kurtosis and maximum likelihood estimation are studied. Its applicability is illustrated by means of two real data sets.
