Abstract

In the recent literature, attempts have been made to propose new statistical distributions for modeling real phenomena of nature by adding one or more additional shape parameter (s) to the distribution of baseline random variable. The major contribution of these distributions are to obtain monotonic and non-monotonic shaped failure rates. This short article, offers a clarification to the research articles proposed by Al-Kadim and Boshi [4], El-Bassiouny et al. [9] and El-Desouky et al. [10]. A brief discussion on the properties of this general class is given. A future research motivation on this subject is also provided.
