We propose a generalization of the three-parameters Zenga distribution obtaining a four-parameters model. The generalization is performed using the confluent hypergeometric distribution as mixing distributions in place of the classical beta. We compare the flexibility of the resulting model with that of the Zenga distribution observing some improvements.

Abstract

We propose a generalization of the three-parameters Zenga distribution obtaining a four-parameters model. The generalization is performed using the confluent hypergeometric distribution as mixing distributions in place of the classical beta. We compare the flexibility of the resulting model with that of the Zenga distribution observing some improvements.
