The Kumaraswamy distribution which has drawn considerable attention in hydrology and related areas was proposed by Kumarswamy. The new distribution is derived under sizebiased probability of sampling taking the weights as the variate values. Various distributional and characterizing properties of the model are studied. The methods of maximum likelihood and matching quantiles estimation are employed to estimate the parameters of the proposed model. Finally, we apply the proposed model to simulated and real data sets.</p&gt;}, number={3}, journal={Statistics, Optimization & Information Computing}, author={Sharma, Dreamlee and Chakrabarty, Tapan Kumar}, year={2016}, month={Aug.}, pages={252-264} }
