 Abstract:

A two-parameter Inverted Weighted Exponential distribution was derived in this paper. Its various statistical properties were established and the maximum likelihood estimation method was used to estimate the model parameters. Two real life applications were provided to assess the superiority of the Inverted Weighted Exponential distribution over existing distributions.
