An Extended Pranav Distribution

In this study, we proposed a generalization of the Pranav distribution by Shukla (2018). This new distribution called an extended Pranav distribution is obtained using the exponentiation method. The statistical characteristics of this new distribution such as the moments, moment generating function, reliability function, hazard function, Rényi entropy and order statistics are derived. The graphical illustrations of the shapes of the probability density function, the cumulative distribution function, and hazard rate functions are provided. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters were obtained and finally, we examine the performance of this new distribution using some real-life data sets to show its flexibility and better goodness of fit as compared with other distributions.
