| contents | In fitting a continuous bounded data, the generalized beta (and several variants of this distribution) and the two-parameter Kumaraswamy (KW) distributions are the two most prominent univariate continuous distributions that come to our mind. There are some common features between these two rival probability models and to select one of them in a practical situation can be of great interest. Consequently, in this paper, we discuss various methods of selection between the generalized beta proposed by Libby and Novick (1982) (LNGB) and the KW distributions, such as the criteria based on probability of correct selection which is an improvement over the likelihood ratio statistic approach, and also based on pseudo-distance measures. We obtain an approximation for the probability of correct selection under the hypotheses HLNGB and HKW , and select the model that maximizes it. However, our proposal is more appealing in the sense that we provide the comparison study for the LNGB distribution that subsumes both types of classical beta and exponentiated generators (see, for details, Cordeiro et al. 2014; Libby and Novick 1982) which can be a natural competitor of a two-parameter KW distribution in an appropriate scenario. |
