Abstract

In this article, we generalize the Rayleigh distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map studied by Shaw et al. (2009) to develop a transmuted Rayleigh distribution. We provide a comprehensive description of the mathematical properties of the subject distribution along with its reliability
behavior. The usefulness of the transmuted Rayleigh distribution for modeling data is illustrated using real data.
