In this article we study a subfamily of the slashed-Weibull family. This subfamily can be seen as an extension of the Rayleigh distribution with more flexibility in terms of the kurtosis of distribution. This special ...

In this paper we introduce a new distribution for modeling positive data with high kurtosis. This distribution can be seen as an extension of the exponentiated Rayleigh distribution. This extension builds on the quotient of ...

In this dissertation, we propose new univariate continuous distributions for modeling asymmetrical data. Initially, starting from a non-linear parametric transformation of an uniform random variable, we propose a new ...
