Using Skew-Logistic Probability Density Function as a Model for Age-Specific Fertility Rate Pattern
Fertility rate is one of the most important global indexes. Past researchers found models which fit to age-specific fertility rates. For example, mixture probability density functions have been proposed for situations with bi-modal fertility patterns. This model is less useful for unimodal age-specific fertility rate patterns, so a model based on skew-symmetric (skew-normal) pdf was proposed by...
متن کاملA Flexible Class of Skew Logistic Distribution
‎Here we consider a new class of skew logistic distribution as a generalized mixture of the standard logistic and skew logistic distributions‎, ‎and study some of its important aspects‎. ‎The tail behaviour of the distribution is compared with that of the skew logistic distribution and a location-scale extension of the distribution is proposed‎. ‎Fu...
متن کاملA Generalized Skew Logistic Distribution
• In this paper, we introduce a generalized skew logistic distribution that contains the usual skew logistic distribution as a special case. Several mathematical properties of the distribution are discussed like the cumulative distribution function and moments. Furthermore, estimation using the method of maximum likelihood and the Fisher information matrix are investigated. Two real data applic...
متن کاملFitting age-specific fertility rates by a skew- symmetric probability density function
Mixture probability density functions had recently been proposed to describe some fertility patterns characterized by a bi-modal shape. These mixture probability density functions appear to be adequate when the fertility pattern is actually bi-modal but less useful when the shape of age-specific fertility rates is unimodal. A further model is proposed based on skew-symmetric probability density...
متن کاملGraduating the age-specific fertility pattern using Support Vector Machines
A topic of interest in demographic literature is the graduation of the age-specific fertility pattern. A classical graduation technique extensively used by demographers is to fit parametric models that accurately reproduce it. Standard non parametric statistical methodology, as kernels and splines, might alternately be used for this graduation purpose. Support Vector Machines (SVM) is an innova...
