Abstract
The well-known Weibull distribution can be used to model the decreasing and uni‑
modal failure rate quite standard in reliability and biological studies. It is also com‑
monly adopted as baseline to generate new distributions from generalized classes.
In this paper, we investigate the identifability of the exponentiated generalized class
of distributions and in particular the exponentiated generalized Weibull distribution.
We also develop conditions under which the model becomes identifable. To further
illustrate the identifability issue, we consider a simulation study, and an application is
presented to illustrate the potentialities of the model with the new parameterization.
