Abstract
In this article we introduce an extension of the Akash distribution. We use the slash 1
methodology to make the kurtosis of the Akash distribution more flexible. We study the general 2
density of this new distribution, some properties, moments, coefficients of asymmetry and kurtosis. 3
Statistical inference is performed using the methods of moments and maximum likelihood via the 4
EM algorithm. A simulation study is carried out to observe the behavior of the maximum likelihood 5
estimator. An application to a real data set with high kurtosis is considered, where it is shown that 6
the new distribution fits better than other extensions of the Akash distribution.
