Abstract:	A class of generalized gamma distribution is proposed, the properties of this distribution are addressed, namely Beta-Gamma distribution in this paper. The properties of this distribution are addressed, including moments, limiting cases and percentiles. Graphs of the density functions are used to illustrate the shape properties for different combinations of parameters. Reliability and hazard functions are also derived.
