This document introduces the exponential Pareto distribution (EPD), a new probability distribution derived from the exponential and Pareto distributions. Some key properties of the EPD are derived, including its probability density function, cumulative distribution function, moments, coefficients of variation, skewness and kurtosis. Parameter estimation for the EPD is also discussed using maximum likelihood estimation. Plots of the density, distribution, and other functions of the EPD are provided for various parameter values.
