Abstract

In this paper, a new two parameters model is introduced. We called it the inverse flexible Weibull extension (IFW) distribution. Several properties of this distribution have been discussed. The maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters are derived. Two real data sets are analyzed using the new model, which show that the new model fits the data better than some other very well known models.
