ABSTRACT: Exponentiated Generalized Weibull distribution is a probability
distribution which generalizes the Weibull distribution introducing two more
shapes parameters to best adjust the non-monotonic shape. The parameters of the
new probability distribution function are estimated by the maximum likelihood
method under progressive type II censored data via expectation maximization
algorithm.
