Abstract

The four-parameter generalized lambda distribution (GLD) was proposed in [1]. We say the GLD is of type V, if the quantile function corresponds to Case(v) in of [2], that is,

where u 2 (0, 1) and a, b 2 (−1, 0). In this short note, we introduce the T-R {Generalized Lambda V} Families of Distributions and show a sub-model of this class of distributions is significant in modeling real life data, in particular the Wheaton river data, [2]. We conjecture the new class of distributions can be used to fit biological and health data.

Keywords and Phrases: Generalized Lambda Distribution; Exponential Distribution; Weibull Distribution
