In contemporary statistical research, there has been a notable surge of interest surrounding a suggested extension of the Marshall-Olkin-G distributions. The present extension exhibits a higher degree of flexibility in comparison to its parent distributions. In a similar manner, we present in this context an expansion of the Marshall-Olkin-G distributions proposed by statistical scholars. This study utilizes a specific variant of the extension known as the Marshall-Olkin-Weibull Logarithmic model, which is applied to both complete and censored data sets. It is evident that the aforementioned model has strong competitiveness in accurately characterizing both complete and censored observations in lifetime reliability issues, when compared to other comparative models discussed in this research work.
