The Kaniadakis Generalized Gamma distribution (or κ-Generalized Gamma distribution) is a four-parameter family of continuous statistical distributions, supported on a semi-infinite interval [0,∞), which arising from the Kaniadakis statistics. It is one example of a Kaniadakis distribution. The κ-Gamma is a deformation of the Generalized Gamma distribution.

Definitions

Probability density function

The Kaniadakis κ-Gamma distribution has the following probability density function:^[1]

${\displaystyle f_{_{\kappa }}(x)=(1+\kappa \nu )(2\kappa )^{\nu }{\frac {\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}+{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}{\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}-{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}}{\frac {\alpha \beta ^{\nu }}{\Gamma {\big (}\nu {\big )}}}x^{\alpha \nu -1}\exp _{\kappa }(-\beta x^{\alpha })}$

valid for ${\displaystyle x\geq 0}$, where ${\displaystyle 0\leq |\kappa |<1}$ is the entropic index associated with the Kaniadakis entropy, ${\displaystyle 0<\nu <1/\kappa }$, ${\displaystyle \beta >0}$ is the scale parameter, and ${\displaystyle \alpha >0}$ is the shape parameter.

The ordinary generalized Gamma distribution is recovered as ${\displaystyle \kappa \rightarrow 0}$: ${\displaystyle f_{_{0}}(x)={\frac {|\alpha |\beta ^{\nu }}{\Gamma \left(\nu \right)}}x^{\alpha \nu -1}\exp _{\kappa }(-\beta x^{\alpha })}$.

Cumulative distribution function

The cumulative distribution function of κ-Gamma distribution assumes the form:

${\displaystyle F_{\kappa }(x)=(1+\kappa \nu )(2\kappa )^{\nu }{\frac {\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}+{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}{\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}-{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}}{\frac {\alpha \beta ^{\nu }}{\Gamma {\big (}\nu {\big )}}}\int _{0}^{x}z^{\alpha \nu -1}\exp _{\kappa }(-\beta z^{\alpha })dz}$

valid for ${\displaystyle x\geq 0}$, where ${\displaystyle 0\leq |\kappa |<1}$. The cumulative Generalized Gamma distribution is recovered in the classical limit ${\displaystyle \kappa \rightarrow 0}$.

Properties

Moments and mode

The κ-Gamma distribution has moment of order ${\displaystyle m}$ given by^[1]

${\displaystyle \operatorname {E} [X^{m}]=\beta ^{-m/\alpha }{\frac {(1+\kappa \nu )(2\kappa )^{-m/\alpha }}{1+\kappa {\big (}\nu +{\frac {m}{\alpha }}{\big )}}}{\frac {\Gamma {\big (}\nu +{\frac {m}{\alpha }}{\big )}}{\Gamma (\nu )}}{\frac {\Gamma {\Big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}+{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\Big )}}{\Gamma {\Big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}-{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\Big )}}}{\frac {\Gamma {\Big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}-{\frac {\nu }{2}}-{\frac {m}{2\alpha }}{\Big )}}{\Gamma {\Big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}+{\frac {\nu }{2}}+{\frac {m}{2\alpha }}{\Big )}}}}$

The moment of order ${\displaystyle m}$ of the κ-Gamma distribution is finite for ${\displaystyle 0<\nu +m/\alpha <1/\kappa }$.

The mode is given by:

${\displaystyle x_{\textrm {mode}}=\beta ^{-1/\alpha }{\Bigg (}\nu -{\frac {1}{\alpha }}{\Bigg )}^{\frac {1}{\alpha }}{\Bigg [}1-\kappa ^{2}{\bigg (}\nu -{\frac {1}{\alpha }}{\bigg )}^{2}{\Bigg ]}^{-{\frac {1}{2\alpha }}}}$

Asymptotic behavior

The κ-Gamma distribution behaves asymptotically as follows:^[1]

${\displaystyle \lim _{x\to +\infty }f_{\kappa }(x)\sim (2\kappa \beta )^{-1/\kappa }(1+\kappa \nu )(2\kappa )^{\nu }{\frac {\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}+{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}{\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}-{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}}{\frac {\alpha \beta ^{\nu }}{\Gamma {\big (}\nu {\big )}}}x^{\alpha \nu -1-\alpha /\kappa }}$

${\displaystyle \lim _{x\to 0^{+}}f_{\kappa }(x)=(1+\kappa \nu )(2\kappa )^{\nu }{\frac {\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}+{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}{\Gamma {\big (}{\frac {1}{2\kappa }}-{\frac {\nu }{2}}{\big )}}}{\frac {\alpha \beta ^{\nu }}{\Gamma {\big (}\nu {\big )}}}x^{\alpha \nu -1}}$
