Characterizing the generalized lambda distribution by L-moments
The generalized lambda distribution (GLD) is a flexible four parameter distribution with many practical applications. L-moments of the GLD can be expressed in closed form and are good alternatives for the central moments. The L-moments of the GLD up to an arbitrary order are presented, and a study of L-skewness and L-kurtosis that can be achieved by the GLD is provided. The boundaries of L-skew...
متن کاملL-moments and TL-moments of the generalized lambda distribution
The 4-parameter generalized lambda distribution (GLD) is a flexible distribution capable of mimicking the shapes of many distributions and data samples including those with heavy tails. The method of L-moments and the recently developed method of trimmed L-moments (TL-moments) are attractive techniques for parameter estimation for heavy-tailed distributions for which the Land TL-moments have be...
متن کاملGeneralized Lambda Distribution and its Properties
Generalized Lambda Distribution is an extension of Tukey's lambda distribution, that is very flexible in modeling information and statistical data. In this paper, We introduced two parameterization of this distribution. Then We estimate parameters by moment matching, percentile, starship and maximum likelihood methods and compare two parameterization and parameter estimation method...
متن کاملMethod of L-moment estimation for the generalized lambda distribution
The generalized lambda distribution (GLD) is a flexible distribution for statistical modelling, but existing estimation methodologies for the GLD are computationally difficult, rendering the GLD impractical for many practitioners. We derive a parameterization of the GLD with closed-form expressions for the method of L-moment estimators. A numerical example involving the age of coronary heart di...
متن کاملFitting the Generalized Logistic Distribution by LQ-Moments
The method of LQ-moments (LQMOM) for estimating parameters and quantiles of the Generalized Logistic (GL) distribution are introduced. We explore and extend class of LQMOM with consideration combinations of p and α values in the range 0 and 0.5. The popular quantile estimator namely the weighted kernel quantile (WKQ) estimator is proposed to estimate the quantile function. A comparison of these...
