On the skewed sinh-normal distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Leiva et al. [10] introduce the skewed sinh-normal distribution, which is a skewed version of the sinh-normal distribution, discussed some of its properties and characterized an extension of the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution associated with this distribution. In this paper, we will introduce further properties of the skewed sinh-normal distribution, and introduce a new approximate form of its probability density function and cumulative distribution function (cdf), along with numerical comparison between the exact and approximate values of its cdf. Moreover, a random number generator for the distribution will be suggested and a goodness of fit test will be carried out to examine the effectiveness of the proposed random number generator. Finally, maximum likelihood estimation for the unknown parameter of the skewed sinh-normal distribution will be investigated, and numerical illustration for the new results will be discussed.

Sinh-arcsinh distributions: a broad family giving rise to powerful tests of normality and symmetry
We introduce the ‘sinh-arcsinh transformation’ and thence, by applying it to random variables from some ‘generating’ distribution with no further parameters beyond location and scale (which we take for most of the paper to be the normal), a new family of ‘sinh-arcsinh distributions’. This four parameter family has both symmetric and skewed members and allows for tailweights that are both heavie...

متن کاملInvestigation of linear and non-linear estimation methods in highly-skewed gold distribution
The purpose of this work is to compare the linear and non-linear kriging methods in the mineral resource estimation of the Qolqoleh gold deposit in Saqqez, NW Iran. Considering the fact that the gold distribution is positively skewed and has a significant difference with a normal curve, a geostatistical estimation is complicated in these cases. Linear kriging, as a resource estimation method, c...
متن کاملThe Family of Scale-Mixture of Skew-Normal Distributions and Its Application in Bayesian Nonlinear Regression Models
In previous studies on fitting non-linear regression models with the symmetric structure the normality is usually assumed in the analysis of data. This choice may be inappropriate when the distribution of residual terms is asymmetric. Recently, the family of scale-mixture of skew-normal distributions is the main concern of many researchers. This family includes several skewed and heavy-tailed d...
متن کاملPower Normal-Geometric Distribution: Model, Properties and Applications
In this paper, we introduce a new skewed distribution of which normal and power normal distributions are two special cases. This distribution is obtained by taking geometric maximum of independent identically distributed power normal random variables. We call this distribution as the power normal--geometric distribution. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are presented. Maximu...
