The McDonald’s Inverse Weibull Distribution

SUMMARY

We have proposed a new Inverse Weibull distribution by using the generalized Beta distribution of McDonald (1984). Basic properties of the proposed distribution has been studied. Parameter estimation has been discussed alongside an illustrative example.
