Comparison Studies of Estimators for the Generalized Gamma Distribution and New Findings

The Generalized Gamma Distribution (GGD) is a three-parameter distribution with desirable properties. For certain values of the parameters, the GGD can reduce to the gamma, exponential and lognormal distribution, among others. This makes it a flexible distribution that can be used in various scenarios. The problem with implementation of the GGD...
