Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2018, vol. 47, issue 10, 2520-2526

Abstract: In this paper we generalize the exponential family (EF) of distributions into a wider family which includes important distributions such as the normal, log-normal, Student-t, Cauchy, logistic and Birnbaum–Saunders distributions. Furthermore, we derive several characteristics of the proposed family. The importance of such family is also discussed.
