Abstract :
The 3-parameter generalized Gamma distribution (GG3) is very versatile for life distributions. Basic properties of GG3 are reviewed here, together with the major available inferential work on its parameters. Original results are presented on the hazard rate of GG3 and on its stress-strength model
