Abstract: We propose two new six-parameter distributions, called the McDonald Burr III and McDonald Burr XII models, which contain some recently published distributions as special models. We provide a comprehensive description of some of their mathematical properties with the hope that they will attract wider applications in lifetime analysis. The potentiality of both models to analyze positive data is illustrated by means of two real data sets.
