Abstract
For the first time, a four-parameter beta generalized logistic distribution is obtained by compounding the beta and generalized logistic distributions. The new model extends some well-known distributions and its shape is quite flexible, specially the skewness and the tail weights, due to the extra shape parameters. We obtain general expansions for the moment generating and quantile functions. The estimation of the parameters is investigated by maximum likelihood. An application to a real data set is given to show the flexibility and potentiality of our distribution.
