The exponentiated type distributions. (English) Zbl 1128.62015

Summary: R. C. Gupta et al. [Commun. Stat., Theory Methods 27, No. 4, 887–904 (1998; Zbl 0900.62534)] introduced the exponentiated exponential distribution as a generalization of the standard exponential distribution. We introduce four more exponentiated type distributions that generalize the standard gamma, standard Weibull, standard Gumbel and the standard Fréchet distributions in the same way the exponentiated exponential distribution generalizes the standard exponential distribution. A treatment of the mathematical properties is provided for each distribution.
