APT-Pareto Distribution and its Properties

Recently, the APT-family has been introduced as a new family of distributions. A special case of this family with exponential distribution is examined in details. In this paper, Pareto is considered as a baseline distribution in APT-family. Several properties of the APT-Pareto distribution such as the moments, hazard rate and survival functions are derived. The maximum likelihood and least square methods are discussed. Simulation study is also performed to get the bias and mean square errors of estimates. A numerical example is given to illustrate the capability of APT-Pareto distribution for modelling real data
