In the following dissertation, the family of Burr distributions and its applications in actuarial science will be examined. The aforementioned distribution family consists of twelve basic continuous distributions that are applied in various scientific fields. Considering the versatile application of Burr distributions in multiple scientific disciplines, some of them have been applied in the field of actuarial as well as in other scientific fields. The dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter provides an introduction to all the fundamental concepts that will be used in the subsequent chapters. Next, the second chapter focuses on the year 1942 as a reference point when Burr introduced the twelve cumulative distribution functions. A presentation of the twelve distributions is given, followed by a detailed analysis of the most significant ones. Finally, in the third chapter, utilizing the programming language R, we fit some of the Burr distributions to real data and compare them to other well-known distributions with the ultimate goal of drawing conclusions.
