A Bimodal Extension of the Generalized Gamma Distribution

A Bimodal Extension of the Generalized Gamma Distribution

A bimodal extension of the generalized gamma distribution is proposed by using a mixing approach. Some distributional properties of the new distribution are investigated. The maximum likelihood (ML) estimators for the parameters of the new distribution are obtained. Real data examples are given to s...
