Communications in Statistics-Theory and Methods, 44(23), 5049-5070.https://hdl.handle.net/11494/3488We derive a generalization of the exponential distribution by making log transformation of the standard two-sided power distribution. We show that this new generalization is in fact a mixture of a truncated exponential distribution and truncated generalized exponential distribution introduced by Gupta and Kundu [Generalized exponential distributions. Aust. N. Z. J. Stat. 41(1999): 173-188]. The newly defined distribution is more flexible for modeling data than the ordinary exponential distribution. We study its properties, estimate the parameters, and demonstrate it on some well-known real data sets comparing other existing methods.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessExponential distributionGeneralized exponential distributionLifetime distributionStandard two-sided power distributionArticle44235049507010.1080/03610926.2013.813041Q2N/A
