Abstract
A new class of weighted generalized gamma distribution (WGGD) and related distributions are presented. Theoretical properties of the generalized gamma model, WGGD including the hazard function, reverse hazard function, moments, coefficient of variation, coefficient of skewness, coefficient of kurtosis, and entropy measures are derived. The results presented here generalizes the generalized gamma distribution and includes several distributions as special cases. The special cases include generalized gamma, weighted gamma, weighted exponential, weighted Weibull, weighted Rayleigh distributions, and their underlying or parent distributions.
