In this paper, we generalize the Lomax distribution by powering a positive real number α to the cumulative distribution function (CDF). This new family of distributions called exponentiated Lomax distribution (ELD). Some properties of this family will be discussed. The estimation of unknown parameters for ELD will be handled using maximum likelihood, Moments and L-moments methods.
