Abstract
The well-known Weibull distribution can be used to model the decreasing and unimodal failure rate quite standard in reliability and biological studies. It is also commonly adopted as baseline to generate new distributions from generalized classes. In this paper, we investigate the identifiability of the exponentiated generalized class of distributions and in particular the exponentiated generalized Weibull distribution. We also develop conditions under which the model becomes identifiable. To further illustrate the identifiability issue, we consider a simulation study, and an application is presented to illustrate the potentialities of the model with the new parameterization.
