Othman %J - %D 2017 %R 10.14419/ijams.v5i1.7571 %X We introduce a new four parameter continuous model, called the Kumaraswamy compound Rayleigh (KwCR) distribution that extends the compound Rayleigh distribution. We study some mathematical properties of this distribution such as; mean, variance, coefficient of variation, quantile function, median, ordinary and incomplete moments, skewness, kurtosis, moment and probability generating functions, reliability analysis, Lorenz, Bonferroni and Zenga curves, R¨¦nyi of entropy, order statistics and record statistics. We consider the methods of moments and maximum likelihood for estimating the model parameters. %U https://www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJAMS/article/view/7571
