The New Burr Distribution with Application to Bladder Cancer Susceptibility

This paper derives a new family of Burr type distributions as New Burr distributionThis particular skewed distribution can be used quite effectively in analyzing lifetime data. It is observed that the new distribution has modified unimodal hazard function. Estimation of parameters and change-point of hazard function by the maximum likelihood method are discussed. Change-point of hazard function is usually of great interest in medical or industrial applications. The flexibility of the new model is illustrated with an application to a real data set.
