Resumen de The gamma flexible Weibull distribution: Properties and Applications

Alexsandro A. Ferreira, Gauss Moutinho Cordeiro

• A new gamma flexibleWeibull distribution is introduced, which presents a bathtub-shaped hazard rate, and some of its properties are obtained. The parameters are estimated via máximum likelihood, and a simulation study is performed to examine the consistency of the estimates. The utility of the proposed model is shown using three real applications.
