Summary: An important extension of the Weibull family – the exponentiated Weibull distribution – is reviewed with various new statistical measures. An explicit expression for the mode is derived and a comparison between the authors’ and Mudholkar and Hutson’s results are tabulated for various values of the parameters of the distribution. A general formula for the mean residual life function is obtained.
