Generalized Kumaraswamy Distribution Family

v1.1.2 · Jan 8, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Implements the five-parameter Generalized Kumaraswamy ('gkw') distribution proposed by 'Carrasco, Ferrari and Cordeiro (2010)' <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1004.0911> and its seven nested sub-families for modeling bounded continuous data on the unit interval (0,1). The 'gkw' distribution extends the Kumaraswamy distribution described by Jones (2009) <doi:10.1016/j.stamet.2008.04.001>. Provides density, distribution, quantile, and random generation functions, along with analytical log-likelihood, gradient, and Hessian functions implemented in 'C++' via 'RcppArmadillo' for maximum computational efficiency. Suitable for modeling proportions, rates, percentages, and indices exhibiting complex features such as asymmetry, or heavy tails and other shapes not adequately captured by standard distributions like simple Beta or Kumaraswamy.
