Abstract

This work investigates the potential usefulness of the transmuted Nadarajah Haghighi exponential distribution for modelling lifetime data. This distribution can be obtained by using the quadratic rank transmutation map scheme. Various structural properties of the transmuted Nadarajah Haghighi exponential model were investigated including moment generating function, order statistics, moment, mean which represent the average life span of a system, variance, estimation of the parameters using maximum likelihood and the potential usefulness of the transmuted Nadarajah Haghighi exponential model was shown by means of Kevlar 373/epoxy data.
