Estimating the closed skew-normal distributions parameters using weighted moments
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

An Extension of the Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution Based on Skew-Normal t Distribution
In this paper, we introducte a family of univariate Birnbaum-Saunders distributions arising from the skew-normal-t distribution. We obtain several properties of this distribution such as its moments, the maximum likelihood estimation procedure via an EM-algorithm and a method to evaluate standard errors using the EM-algorithm. Finally, we apply these methods to a real data set to demonstr...
متن کاملA Family of Skew-Slash Distributions and Estimation of its Parameters via an EM Algorithm
Abstract. In this paper, a family of skew-slash distributions is defined and investigated. We define the new family by the scale mixture of a skew-elliptically distributed random variable with the power of a uniform random variable. This family of distributions contains slash-elliptical and skew-slash distributions. We obtain the moments and some distributional properties of the new family of d...
متن کاملSkew-t distribution is an appropriate alternative for the weighted exponential distribution
In this manuscript first a brief introduction to the Skew-t and Weighted exponential distributions is considered and some of their important properties will be studied. Then we will show that the Skew-t distribution is prefered to the Weighted exponential distribution in fitting by using the real data. Finally we will prove our claim by using the simulation method.
متن کاملA Review on Slash and Related Distributions
The normal distribution plays an important role in statistical analysis. However, a researcher may also wish to construct another symmetric distributions which fit the data better than the normal distribution. For this purpose, more flexible distributions have been introduced. In this thesis, we introduce some of such distributions. We first introduce the slash distribution as a f...
متن کاملConstrained local likelihood estimators for semiparametric skew-normal distributions
A local likelihood estimator for a nonparametric nuisance function is proposed in the context of semiparametric skew-normal distributions. Constraints imposed on such functions result in a nonparametric estimator with a different target function for maximization from classical local likelihood estimators. The optimal asymptotic semiparametric efficiency bound on parameters of interest is achiev...
