A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF TRANSMUTED DISTRIBUTIONS
In recent years, the development of flexible statistical distributions has gained considerable attention due to the increasing complexity of real-world data. Among various generalization techniques, the transmuted family of distributions has emerged as an effective and mathematically tractable approach for enhancing classical distributions. This family is generated using the quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM), which introduces an additional parameter to control skewness and kurtosis. The present paper provides a comprehensive review of transmuted distributions, discussing their theoretical foundation, historical development, major contributions, and applications. The study also classifies the existing literature and identifies potential areas for future research.
