34Amoroso Distribution

The Amoroso distribution[28] is defined by the PDF

Figure 34.1 shows, with α set to 0 and β to 1, the effect of varying δ1 and δ2.

f(x) vs. x displaying three curves for δ1 = 1, δ2 = 2; δ1 = 2, δ2 = 1; and δ1 = 1, δ2 = 1.

As mentioned in Section 31.3, the generalised gamma distribution is a special case of the Amoroso distribution in which α is set to zero. This, however, is just a trivial example of what other distributions can be represented. Table 34.1 lists such distributions that are covered elsewhere in this book, showing how each PDF is derived from Equation (34.1).
