Abstract

Our research unveils a transformative distribution model: the Kumaraswamy power burr distribution. This innovative model emerges through the application of the Kumaraswamy transformation to the power burr distribution. We meticulously outline the probability and distribution functions, supported by compelling graphs and a rigorous mathematical foundation for the probability function of this novel distribution. In addition, we offer detailed equations and an extensive analysis of the statistical properties of this distribution. Parameter estimation is skillfully executed using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method. Our compelling evidence shows that this newly created distribution not only enhances accuracy but also outperforms existing models significantly in analyzing COVID-19 data.
