In data science, it is frequent that new and sophisticated computational methods and tools are used to build predictive models to perform time to event data analysis. Such predictive models based on previously collected data from patients can support decision-making and prediction for the clinical data. Hence, this paper introduced a novel superior distribution, namely a new lifetime Weibull (NLT-W) distribution, using an efficient method to generate new distributions called the T-X method for generating new distributions. Parameter estimation has been done through maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to show the significance of this proposed model over other competitive models. Comparison to two-parameter Weibull, Exponentiated Weibull (EW), and the and the Kumaraswamy Weibull (Ku-W) indicates that the proposed model could preform better to model various types of survival.
