The scope for generating high-rank transmuted distributions has expanded beyond the cubic to achieve improved performance in baseline distributions such as those of the Gamma type. This paper develops a Quartic Rank Transmutation Distribution (QRTD), a new family of transmuted distributions with enhanced flexibility for modelling complex data problems, including those with multi-modal distributions. Application is carried out to obtain a transmuted exponential distribution (QTED). Various characteristics of the new exponential distribution are presented, including the cumulative distribution function, the reliability and hazard functions, moments, and relevant order statistics. These features support the legitimacy and robustness of the proposed QTED. Additionally, the paper identifies specific parameter ranges that exhibit notable behaviours in the new distribution and its survival quantities. The maximum likelihood estimates of parameters are described, with simulation studies indicating that their precision improves with larger sample sizes. The performance of the QTED is found to be superior to existing lower-rank cubic and quadratic transmuted exponential distributions based on information criteria using real lifetime data. The applications demonstrate that the high-rank transmutation map could be instrumental in obtaining new transmutations of other relevant distributions with improved performance. This development signifies a major advancement in the field of probability distributions, offering more sophisticated tools for statisticians and researchers to model and analyse complex data patterns more accurately and effectively. Thus, the QRTD and its applications hold significant promise for future research and practical implementations in various statistical and applied fields.
