In this paper a new version of skew uniform distribution is introduced which is completely different from the previous works. Some important properties of the new distribution contain the expression for the density and distribution, kth moments, moment generating and characteristic functions, variance, skewness and kurtusis, mean deviation from the mean, median and mode and parameter estimation are investigated. Also a simulation study on this distribution is carried out to show the consistency of the maximum likelihood and moments estimators. In the end, the new skew uniform distribution is compared with uniform distribution.
