In this paper, a new family of continuous distributions called the exponentiated transmuted-G family is proposed which extends the transmuted-G family defined by Shaw and Buckley (2007). Some of its mathematical properties including explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments , generating function, Rényi and Shannon entropies, and order statistics are derived. Some special models of the new family are provided. The maximum likelihood is used for estimating the model parameters. We provide the simulation results to assess the performance of the proposed model. The usefulness and flexibility of the new family is illustrated using real data
