Libby and Novick’s generalized beta exponential distribution. (English) Zbl 1457.62068
Summary: A new family of skewed distributions is presented. Some properties and estimation procedures for Libby and Novick’s generalized beta exponential distribution, a particular member of the family, are derived. Real applications using two original data sets are described to show superior performance versus at least six known models.
