Abstract
Some new survival distributions are introduced based on a generalised exponential function. This class of distributions includes heavy-tailed generalisations of exponential, Weibull and gamma distributions. Properties of the distributions are described, and R code is available for computation of pdf, quantiles, inverse quantiles, random numbers, etc. A use of these distributions for robust inference is suggested, and this is exemplified with a Monte-Carlo study.
