Abstract

Alzaatreh et al. (2013) proposed the so called T-X family of distributions. Several members of the T-X family have been proposed and studied in the literature. In this paper, we present short introduction related to some work in generalized continuous distributions field. We propose a family of generalized Cauchy distribution (GCD) using the T-X framework. Some properties of the GCD family are studied.
