Consideramos una función de distribución continua arbitraria F(x) con función de densidad de probabilidad f(x) = dF(x)=dx y función de riesgo hf (x) = f(x)=[1 ? F(x)]: En este artículo proponemos una nueva familia de distribuciones cuya función de riesgo es proporcional a la función de riesgo hf (x). El modelo propuesto puede ajustar datos con alta asimetría o curtosis fuera del rango de cobertura permitido por la distribución normal, t-Student, logística, entre otras. Estimamos los parámetros del modelo usando máxima verosimilitud, verosimilitud perfilada y el método elemental de percentiles. Calculamos las matrices de información esperada y observada. Consideramos test de verosimilitudes para algunas hipótesis de interés en el modelo con función de riesgo proporcional a la distribución normal. Presentamos una aplicación con datos reales que ilustra que el modelo propuesto es adecuado.
