We study some moment properties, and derive exact and explicit formulas for the mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis. In addition, we also give a theorem to characterize this distribution and discuss its limiting distributions as the shape parameters tend to zero or infinity. Finally, possible applications of this distribution in bioassays as a dose response curve are discussed and illustrated with two examples. rv:
