A New One‐Parameter Gamma Family Derived via Fractional Differential Equations and Its Application to Malaria Indicator Data

Journal of Probability and Statistics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In this work, we use a fractional differential equation to create a new family of one‐parameter probability distributions. We build a generalized version of the typical exponential‐type model using methods from fractional calculus, namely, the UD fractional derivative.
