Abstract
In this research, we consider certain results characterizing the generalization of Beta and Half Normal distribution through their distribution functions and asymptotic properties. The resulting Beta-HalfNormal Distribution [BHND] was defined and some of its properties like moment generating function, survival rate function, hazard rate function and cumulative distribution function were investigated. The distribution was found to generalize some known distributions thereby providing a great flexibility in modeling symmetric heavy tailed, skewed and bimodal distributions.
