Abstract :A new distribution, namely, the Gamma-Half-Cauchy distribution is Gamma-Half-Cauchy distribution proposed. Various properties of the are studied in detail such as limiting behavior, moments, mean devi- ations and Shannon entropy. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and the observed information ma- trix is obtained. Two data sets are used to illustrate the applications of Gamma-Half-Cauchy distribution.Keywords : Folded Cauchy distribution, half Cauchy distribution, gamma dis tribution, Shannon entropy
