Abstract:
In this paper, a new generalized bimodal power exponential distribution is proposed. The Characterization of this distribution is investigated and special cases are considered. The problem of obtaining the maximum-likelihood estimates for the parameters of the distribution is studied and the information matrix is derived. A simulation study to assess the properties of the maximum likelihood estimators is carried out. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented.
