A New Regression Model on the Unit Interval: Properties, Estimation, and Application

Abstract

A new and flexible distribution is introduced for modeling proportional data based on the quantile of the generalized extreme value distribution. We obtain explicit expressions for the moments, quantiles, and other structural properties. An extended regression model is constructed as an alternative to compete with the beta regression. Some simulations from the Bayesian perspectives are developed, and an illustrative application to real data involving the comparison of models and influence diagnostics is also addressed.
