In this work, a type II Topp-Leone-G family of distributions is parametrically transformed to create a new flexible family of continuous probability distributions called exponentiated type II Topp-Leone-G distribution through exponentiation. A variety of density shapes and hazard rate behaviors, such as increasing, decreasing, bathtub, inverted bathtub-shaped, and unimodal forms, can be captured by the proposed family, which generalizes several current lifetime models. In addition to discussing significant special cases that correspond to well-known distributions, explicit expressions for the cumulative distribution function, probability density function, survival function, hazard rate function, quantile function, actuarial measures, and linear representation of the probability density function are derived. The maximum likelihood approach is used for parameter estimation, and the simulation study provides a brief discussion of the estimator’s asymptotic characteristics. Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Cramer–Von Mises goodness-of-fit metrics and their p-values, along with information criteria like Akaike Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, Consistent Akaike Information Criterion, and Hannan–Quinn Information Criterion, are used to evaluate the appropriateness of the model. Furthermore, to visually assess model performance, graphical diagnostic techniques, such as density and distribution function overlays, quantile–quantile plots, and probability–probability plots, are used. Real-life datasets are analyzed to show the applicability of the exponentiated type II Topp-Leone-G family using Weibull distribution as the baseline, and its performance is compared with some other competing distributions. The findings demonstrate the potential utility of the proposed model in the areas of insurance and related applied domains by showing that it fits better than the competing models considered.
