Truncated Cauchy Power Kumaraswamy Generalized family of distributions: Theory and Applications

Abstract

A new family called the Truncated Cauchy Power Kumaraswamy -G family of distributions is proposed. Some special models of this family are introduced. Statistical properties of the family such as expansion of density function, moments, incomplete moments, mean deviation, bonferroni and Lorenz curves are proposed. We discuss the method of maximum likelihood to estimate the model parameters and study its performance by simulation. Real data sets are modeled to illustrate the importance and exibility of the proposed model in comparison to some known ones yielded favourable results.
