Flexible Univariate Continuous Distributions
Based on a constructive representation, which distinguishes between a skewing mechanism P and an underlying symmetric distribution F , we introduce two flexible classes of distributions. They are generated by nonparametric modelling of either P or F . We examine properties of these distributions and consider how they can help us to identify which aspects of the data are badly captured by simple...
متن کاملA Few Characterizations of the Univariate Continuous Distributions
Various characterizations of distributions, in their generality, are presented in terms of the conditional expectations. Some special examples are given as well.
متن کاملSmall Parameter Behavior of Families of Distributions
For each t > 0 let Yt be a positive random variable with distribution Ft and Laplace Stieltjes transform (LST) ψt. In [1] it was shown that as t → 0, Y −t t converges in distribution to some Y with distribution F as t → 0 if and only if ψt(u) → 1 − F (u) for all continuity points u of F . The applicability of this result was demonstrated for numerous examples, all in which the limiting distribu...
متن کاملRényi divergence measures for commonly used univariate continuous distributions
Probabilistic ‘distances’ (also called divergences), which in some sense assess how ‘close’ two probability distributions are from one another, have been widely employed in probability, statistics, information theory, and related fields. Of particular importance due to their generality and applicability are the Rényi divergence measures. This paper presents closed-form expressions for the Rényi...
متن کاملRelationships Among Common Univariate Distributions
limits can be used in conjunction with a normalizing transformation, as illustrated by the logarithmic transformation in the preceding example from Nelson (1982). Transformations to achieve approximate normality are especially important in light of the lack of robustness of the prediction limits noted earlier. 2. Some instructors may wish to contrast prediction limits with tolerance limits; the...
