A new generalization of the Weibull-Pareto distribution called the transmuted
Weibull-Pareto distribution is proposed and studied. Various mathematical properties of
this distribution including ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating
functions, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and order statistics are derived. The method of
maximum likelihood is used for estimating the model parameters. The flexibility of the
new lifetime model is illustrated by means of an application to a real data set.
