In this paper, we introduce a new family of distributions called Length-Biased weighted Exponentiated Lomax Distribution (LBWELD). Some properties of this family will be discussed. The estimation of unknown parameters for LBWELD will be handled using Maximum Likelihood method. Finally, an application to real data sets is illustrated.
