In this paper, we introduce a new probability distribution, the Lasso distribution. We derive several fundamental properties of the distribution, including closed-form expressions for its moments and moment-generating function.…

Probability distributions defined on the unit interval are widely used in fields ranging from econometrics to reliability studies. Traditional models such as the beta and Kumaraswamy distributions are well-established due to their…
