Abstract
We propose the log-q-Gaussian distribution which is obtained as the distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is q-Gaussian. Various types of properties of the new distribution are given such as the moments, the cumulative distribution function, the extreme value distribution, the likelihood estimation, and so on. Some examples for real data are also given.
