Abstract

A comprehensive review of transmuted distributions is provided. Nearly thirty such distributions are reviewed. Real data applications are provided comparing the reviewed distributions to other classes of distributions. This review could serve as an important reference and encourage developments of further transmuted distributions that could model complicated phenomena more accurately.
