Transmuted Ishita Distribution and Its Applications

In this paper, we use quadratic rank transmutation map to propose a new distribution called Transmuted Ishita Distribution (TID). The proposed distribution is a generalization of Ishita distribution. Many properties of this distribution are investigated such as: the reliability, hazard rate and cumulative hazard functions, rth moment, moment-generating function, order statistics, generalized entropy, quantile function. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the unknown parameters of the TID. The proposed distribution is used for modeling a real-life data set. It is found that the TID is a better fit for this data set than some other available distributions.
