Abstract
Luckstead and Devadoss (2017) fitted a distribution made up of lower tail Pareto, lognormal body, and upper tail Pareto to city sizes in the US. Here, we propose a class of distributions providing better fits. The fits are assessed in terms of Akaike Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion and probability plots.
