Abstract
A generalization of the New Weibull-Pareto so called Transmuted Weibull Pareto
Distribution is proposed and studied using the quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM). The
structural properties which include explicit expression for the quantiles, moment and order
statistics of the proposed distribution were derived. Its parameters were estimated using the
method of Maximum likelihood and least square estimation. The Transmuted Weibull Pareto
Distribution was applied to real life data set to examine its flexibility over the New Weibull
Pareto distribution. The result obtained shows that the Transmuted Weibull Pareto Distribution
outperforms the New-Weibull Pareto distribution. The Performance criteria used are the AIC and
BIC values
