This is done by parameter induction into an existing distribution and therefore remains an approach to generalizing distributions. In this article, families of generalized distributions are generated by sequential application of methods in permutations of five distinct parameter induction methods: Lehmann Alternative 1 (LA1); Lehmann Alternative 2 (LA2); Marshal and Olkin Method (M-OM); α-Power Transformation (APT); and Power Transformation Method (PTM). This is done by taken two methods at a time. Sixteen distinct families of generalized distributions were generated. Some of the families of generalized distributions obtained are already in existence while several others are entirely new.enGeneralized distributions; Lehmann Alternatives; α-Power Transformation Method; Power Transformation Method; Marshall and Olkin Method.Article
