Abstrakt: We, the Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Journal of Applied Statistics have retracted the following article, which was due to appear in a special issue: Muhammad Ijaz, Wali Khan Mashwani, Atilla Göktaş & Yuksel Akay Unvan (2021): A novel alpha power transformed exponential distribution with real-life applications, Journal of Applied Statistics . DOI: 10.1080/02664763.2020.1870673. The Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher are cognisant of clear evidence that the findings presented are unreliable. The probability distribution is only valid if α  > 1 and numerous mathematical properties in Section 2 have been shown to be incorrect. This has then impacted at least two figures in the article. We are further cognisant that the article contained a number of similarities to previously published papers where some of the findings had been published without proper cross-referencing including: Gupta, R.D. and Kundu, D. (2001), Exponentiated Exponential Family: An Alternative to Gamma and Weibull Distributions. Biom. J., 43: 117-130. https://doi.org/10.1002/1521-4036(200102)43:1<117::AID-BIMJ117>3.0.CO;2-R. We have been informed in our decision-making by our corrections and editorial policies and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as 'Retracted'. The Editor-in-Chief and the Publisher would like to thank the anonymous reader/s for their comments which alerted JAS to these major errors in the first instance.
