| Summary: | Continuous and discrete distributions are essential to model both continuous and discrete lifetime data in several applied sciences. This article introduces two extended versions of the Burr–Hatke model to improve its applicability. The first continuous version is called the exponentiated Burr–Hatke (EBuH) distribution. We also propose a new discrete analog, namely the discrete exponentiated Burr–Hatke (DEBuH) distribution. The probability density and the hazard rate functions exhibit decreasing or upside-down shapes, whereas the reversed hazard rate function. Some statistical and reliability properties of the EBuH distribution are calculated. The EBuH parameters are estimated using some classical estimation techniques. The simulation results are conducted to explore the behavior of the proposed estimators for small and large samples. The applicability of the EBuH and DEBuH models is studied using two real-life data sets. Moreover, the maximum likelihood approach is adopted to estimate the parameters of the EBuH distribution under constant-stress accelerated life-tests (CSALTs). Furthermore, a real data set is analyzed to validate our results under the CSALT model.
