The properties of the distribution are discussed and explicit expressions are derived for the mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and reliability. The distribution and moments of order statistics are also studied. Estimation of the model parameters by the method of maximum likelihood is discussed. The log beta transmuted Weibull model is introduced to analyze censored data. Finally, the usefulness of the new distribution in analyzing positive data is illustrated.}, number={2}, journal={Austrian Journal of Statistics}, author={Pal, Manisha and Tiensuwan, Montip}, year={2014}, month={Jun.}, pages={133–149} }
