The Generalized Marshall-Olkin-Kumaraswamy-G family of distributions

Abstract: A new family of distribution is proposed by using Kumaraswamy-G (Cordeiro and de Castro, 2011) distribution as the base line distribution in the Generalized Marshal-Olkin (Jayakumar and Mathew, 2008) Construction. A number of special cases are presented. By expanding the probability density function and the survival function as infinite series the proposed family is seen as infinite mixtures of the Kumaraswamy-G (Cordeiro and de Castro, 2011) distribution. Density function and its series expansions for order statistics are also obtained. Order statistics, moments, moment generating function, R\'enyi entropy, quantile function, random sample generation, asymptotes, shapes and stochastic orderings are also investigated. The methods of parameter estimation by method of maximum likelihood and method of moment are presented. Large sample standard error and confidence intervals for the mles are also discussed. One real life application of comparative data fitting with some of the important sub models of the family and some other models is considered.
