Robustness aspects of the generalized normal distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the paper is to study the robustness features of the generalized normal distribution. To this end the properties of maximum likelihood estimators of the location and scale parameters are investigated and compared with those of the Huber proposal II estimator and with those of the estimators of the Student t distribution.

Generalized half-normal distribution: Model and properties
In this article new generalization of half-normal distribution as the half generalized normal distribution is introduced. This distribution, contains the half-normal distribution as special case. We provide mathematical properties of this distribution. We also derive the pdf, cdf, -th moment, the asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients and the moment generating function. We discuss some inferenti...
متن کاملA Flexible Skew-Generalized Normal Distribution
In this paper, we consider a flexible skew-generalized normal distribution. This distribution is denoted by $FSGN(/lambda _1, /lambda _2 /theta)$. It contains the normal, skew-normal (Azzalini, 1985), skew generalized normal (Arellano-Valle et al., 2004) and skew flexible-normal (Gomez et al., 2011) distributions as special cases. Some important properties of this distribution are establi...
متن کاملGeneralizations of the Skew t-Normal Distribution and their Properties
In this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. Also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. Next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, Nickel and Vanadium, associated with crude oil in Shadgan wetland in the south-...
متن کاملGeneralized Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution
The two-parameter Birnbaum–Saunders (BS) distribution was originally proposed as a failure time distribution for fatigue failure caused under cyclic loading. BS model is a positively skewed statistical distribution which has received great attention in recent decades. Several extensions of this distribution with various degrees of skewness, kurtosis and modality are considered. In particular, a...
متن کاملAn Extended Generalized Lindley Distribution and Its Applications to Lifetime Data
In this paper, a four parameters extension of the generalized Lindley distribution is introduced. The new distribution includes the power Lindley, Lindley, generalized (Stacy) gamma, gamma, Weibull, Rayleigh, exponential and half-normal distribution. Several statistical properties of the distribution are explored. Then, a bivariate version of the proposed distribution is derived. Using a simula...
