Abstract: Modeling and analysis of lifetimes is an important aspect of statistical work in a wide variety of scientific and technological fields. For the first time, the called Kumaraswamy Exponentiated Pareto distribution, is introduced. Some structural properties of the proposed distribution are studied including explicit expressions for the moments and generating function. An explicit expression for Rényi entropy is obtained. The method of maximum likelihood is used for estimating the model parameters.
