Abstract
Several fractional calculus operators have been introduced and investigated. In this sequence, we aim to establish the Marichev-Saigo-Maeda (MSM) fractional calculus operators and Caputo-type MSM fractional differential operators of extended Mittag-Leffler function (EMLF). We also investigate the statistical distribution associated with the EMLF. Finally, we derive some of the particular cases of the main results.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Fractional calculus (FC) is a discipline of mathematics that derives from the conventional definitions of integral and derivative operators by considering fractional values. The reason for attracting the scientist towards FC is that fractional derivatives have been recognized as powerful modeling and simulation tools for engineering problems. Many physical laws are expressed more accurately in terms of differential equations of arbitrary order. The fractal calculus can efficiently deal with kinetics, which is termed the fractal kinetics [1,2,3]. The Mittag-Leffler (M-L) function and its generalizations are widely used in the field of fractals. The generalized M-L law with fractal calculus appears in [4]. The use of M-L function in the medical field with fractals is given in [5]. In [6], authors defined the M-L function on fractal sets. For more details about the use of the Mittag-Leffler function in the field of fractal calculus and applications, interested readers can refer to [7,8,9]. FC has potential applications in the variational iteration method (VIM). In [10], authors used the local fractional operators to investigate the application of local fractional VIM for solving the local fractional Laplace equations. A new VIM for a class of fractional convection-diffusion equations is given in [11]. Numerous papers on VIM and its various applications are found in many research articles [12,13,14].

The integral operators of the types (9) and (10) have been introduced by Marichev [28] and later extended and studied by Saigo and Maeda [29]. Recently, many researchers (see [30,31,32,33,34,35,36]) have studied the image formulas for MSM fractional integral operators involving various special functions.
The corresponding fractional differential operators have their respective forms:

The objective of this paper is to present generalized fractional integral and differential operators of EMLF and their application to statistical distribution. The presented work is arranged as follows: In Section 2 and Section 3, a form of MSM fractional integral and differential representations of (5) is presented alongside its properties. In Section 4, Caputo-type MSM fractional differential operators are discussed. In Section 5, we also presented some statistical distribution regarding (5) and conclusion drawn in Section 6.

6. Concluding Remarks
FC operators have significant applications in the field of science and engineering. Many research papers have been used to solve nonlinear differential equations, VIMs, and fractal related problems with the help of fractional operators. In this lineage, we established generalized fractional formulas to derive numerous results. The operators developed in this paper may have applications in applied mathematics and physics. The significant generality of these results rendered some existing results as particular cases of our result. For instance, if we let , then we obtain MSM fractional integral, MSM fractional differential formulas and Caputo-type MSM fractional differentiation formulas of Mittag-Leffler function defined in (3) (see [34]).
