Abstract

This paper is devoted to a new class of distributions called the Box-Cox gamma-G family. It is a natural generalization of the useful Ristić–Balakrishnan-G family of distributions, containing a wide variety of power gamma-G distributions, including the odd gamma-G distributions. The key tool for this generalization is the use of the Box-Cox transformation involving a tuning power parameter. Diverse mathematical properties of interest are derived. Then a specific member with three parameters based on the half-Cauchy distribution is studied and considered as a statistical model. The method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the related parameters, along with a simulation study illustrating the theoretical convergence of the estimators. Finally, two different real datasets are analyzed to show the fitting power of the new model compared to other appropriate models.
