In this seminar, we discuss four main generators of new distributions. Some special lifetime models are discussed such as the beta modified Weibull and Kumaraswamy-log-logistic distributions. Two applications to real data sets illustrate the proposed models. We briefly discuss how to determine several possible generators.
