TLDR
In this paper, a new family of generalized distributions for double-bounded random processes with hydrological applications is described, including Kw-normal, Kw-Weibull and Kw-Gamma distributions.Abstract:
Kumaraswamy [Generalized probability density-function for double-bounded random-processes, J. Hydrol. 462 (1980), pp. 79–88] introduced a distribution for double-bounded random processes with hydrological applications. For the first time, based on this distribution, we describe a new family of generalized distributions (denoted with the prefix ‘Kw’) to extend the normal, Weibull, gamma, Gumbel, inverse Gaussian distributions, among several well-known distributions. Some special distributions in the new family such as the Kw-normal, Kw-Weibull, Kw-gamma, Kw-Gumbel and Kw-inverse Gaussian distribution are discussed. We express the ordinary moments of any Kw generalized distribution as linear functions of probability weighted moments (PWMs) of the parent distribution. We also obtain the ordinary moments of order statistics as functions of PWMs of the baseline distribution. We use the method of maximum likelihood to fit the distributions in the new class and illustrate the potentiality of the new model with a...read more

Generalized additive models for location, scale and shape
TL;DR: The generalized additive model for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS) as mentioned in this paper is a general class of statistical models for a univariate response variable, which assumes independent observations of the response variable y given the parameters, the explanatory variables and the values of the random effects.
