Exponentiated Models

Gauss M. Cordeiro, Rodrigo B. Silva and Abraão D. C. Nascimento

Abstract

The exponentiation transform of cumulative distributions can furnish more exible models. Such procedure generates the exponentiated G (exp-G) distributions. This chapter presents a survey on the exp-G models and its mathematical properties. In particular, explicit expressions for the quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, income measures, order statistics and entropies are addressed.
