The Kaniadakis Generalized Gamma distribution (or κ-Generalized Gamma distribution) is a four-parameter family of continuous statistical distributions, supported on a semi-infinite interval [0,∞), which arising from the Kaniadakis statistics. It is one example of a Kaniadakis distribution. The κ-Gamma is a deformation of the Generalized Gamma distribution.

Definitions

Probability density function

[edit]

The Kaniadakis κ-Gamma distribution has the following probability density function:[1]

valid for , where is the entropic index associated with the Kaniadakis entropy, , is the scale parameter, and is the shape parameter.

The ordinary generalized Gamma distribution is recovered as : .

Cumulative distribution function

[edit]

The cumulative distribution function of κ-Gamma distribution assumes the form:

valid for , where . The cumulative Generalized Gamma distribution is recovered in the classical limit .
