Abstract
A new generalization of the Weibull-Pareto distribution called the exponentiated Weibull-Pareto distribution is
defined and studied. Various structural properties including ordinary moments, quantiles, R´ enyi and q-entropies
and order statistics are derived. We proposed the method of maximum likelihood for estimating the model
parameters. We provide the simulation results to assess the performance of the proposed model. The usefulness
and flexibility of the new model is illustrated using real data.
