Abstract
The Kumaraswamy generalized family of distributions proposed by Cordeiro and de-Castro (2011), has received increased attention in modern distribution theory with 624 google citations, and more than 50 special models have been studied so far. We define another generator, and then propose a new Kumaraswamy generalized family of distributions by inducting this new generator. Some useful properties of the proposed family are obtained such as quantiles, linear representation of the density, moments and generating function. The method of maximum likelihood is used for estimating family parameters. The properties of a special model of the family, called new Kumaraswamy-Burr XII distribution, are reported. A simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of maximum likelihood estimates of the proposed model. Two real-life data sets are analyzed to illustrate the flexibility of proposed model.
