Estimating the closed skew-normal distributions parameters using weighted moments
Skewness is often present in a wide range of applied problems. One possible approach to model this skewness is based on the class of skew normal distributions. Fitting such distributions remains an inference challenge in various cases. In this paper, we propose and study novel estimators using weighted moments for the closed multivariate skew-normal distribution.
متن کاملTail dependence in bivariate skew-Normal and skew-t distributions
Quantifying dependence between extreme values is a central problem in many theoretical and applied studies. The main distinction is between asymptotically independent and asymptotically dependent extremes, with important theoretical examples of these general limiting classes being the extremal behaviour of a bivariate Normal distribution, for asymptotic independence, and of the bivariate t dist...
متن کاملShape mixtures of multivariate skew-normal distributions
Classes of shape mixtures of independent and dependent multivariate skew-normal distributions are considered and some of their main properties are studied. If interpreted from a Bayesian point of view, the results obtained in this paper bring tractability to the problem of inference for the shape parameter, that is, the posterior distribution can be written in analytic form. Robust inference fo...
متن کاملMultivariate extremes of generalized skew-normal distributions
We explore extremal properties of a family of skewed distributions extended from the multivariate normal distribution by introducing a skewing function π . We give sufficient conditions on the skewing function for the pairwise asymptotic independence to hold. We apply our results to a special case of the bivariate skew-normal distribution and finally support our conclusions by a simulation stud...
