Abstract: A new distribution defined on (0,1) interval is introduced. Its probability density and cumulative distribution functions have simple forms. Thanks to its simple forms, the moments, incomplete moments and quantile function of the proposed distribution are derived and obtained in explicit forms. Four parameter estimation methods are used to estimate the unknown parameter of the distribution. Besides, simulation study is implemented to compare the efficiencies of these parameter estimation methods. More importantly, owing to the proposed distribution, we provide an alternative regression model for the bounded response variable. The proposed regression model is compared with the beta and unit-Lindley regression models based on two real data sets.
