We present some specialmodels and investigate the asymptotes and shapes. The density function of the new family can be expressed as a mixture of exponentiateddensities based on the same baseline distribution. We derive a powerseries for its quantile function. Explicit expressions for the ordinary andincomplete moments, quantile and generating functions, Shannon andRényi entropies and order statistics, which hold for any baseline model,are determined. We estimate the model parameters by maximum likelihood. Two real data sets are used to illustrate the potentiality of theproposed family KW - Estimation KW - Gamma distribution KW - Generated family KW - Maximum likelihood KW - Mean deviation KW - Moment KW - Quantile function CR - . . .
