Abstract
A new class of heavy-tailed distribution functions,, containing the lognormal distribution as a particular case is introduced. The class thus obtained depends on a set of three parameters, incorporating an additional distribution to the classical lognormal one. This new class of heavy-tailed distribution is presented as an alternative to other useful heavy-tailed distributions, such as the lognormal, Weibull, and Pareto distributions. The density and distribution functions of this new class are given by a closed expression which allows us to easily compute probabilities, quantiles, moments, and related measurements. Finally, some applications are shown as examples.
