• Resumen

  • Gamma-Weibull variates with five parameters are defined by multiplication of gamma and Weibull densities and renormalising. Sums of independent such variates are distributed as combinations of products of gammas and confluent hypergeometric functions and are explicitly determined. Sums of independent non-identical Weibulls arise as a special case. These variates can be used to model moderately extreme scenarios between gamma and Weibull that occur in many natural applications. All results are exact.
