Abstract

In this study, new version from the Nadarajah Haghighi model is proposed. The introduced model has a failure rate function that may change in different directions. Statistical properties of the new density function are derived along with the analysis of variance, Skewness and Kurtosis. Parameter estimates are obtained by the method of maximum likelihood. Illustration of real data set was employed to measure flexibility of the new model. A simulation study was executed to test performance of the proposed version.
