In this paper, we introduce a new four-parameter generalized version of the Chen model called the exponentiated
extended Chen distribution. Some results about the reliability characteristics of hazard rate function as well as some
mathematical properties are provided. The maximum likelihood estimators and five approaches based on the concept of
minimum spacing distance estimators are given for estimation of the model parameters and their performances in estimating
of parameters are compared by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Also, a multiple regression model with the censored data
based on proposed distribution is introduced
