Herein, we review the properties of the Amoroso distribution, the natural
unification of the gamma and extreme value distribution families. Over 50
distinct, named distributions (and twice as many synonyms) occur as special
cases or limiting forms. Consequently, this single simple functional form
encapsulates and systematizes an extensive menagerie of interesting and common
probability distributions.
