Abstract

In this article, we study the composite generalizers of the Weibull distribution using exponentiated, Kumaraswamy, transmuted, and beta distributions. The composite generalizers are constructed using both the forward and reverse order of each of these distributions. The usefulness and effectiveness of the composite generalizers and their orders of compositions are investigated by studying the reliability behavior of the resulting distributions. Two sets of real-world data are analyzed using the proposed generalized Weibull distributions.
