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...

Characterizations of Certain Continuous Univariate Distributions Based on the Conditional Distribution of Generalized Order Statistics

The problem of characterizing probability distributions is an interesting problem which has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. Various characterization results have been established in different directions as reported in the literature. We present here, various characterizations of certain univariate continuous distributions based on the conditional distribution of generalize...

Characterizations of Certain Marshall-Olkin Generalized Distributions

Several characterizations of Marshall-Olkin generalized distributions, introduced by Gui (2013) and by Al-Saiari et al. (2014) are presented. These characterizations are based on: (i) a simple relationship between two truncated moments ; (ii) the hazard function.

The Weighted Exponentiated Family of Distributions: Properties, Applications and Characterizations

In this paper a new method of introducing an additional parameter to a continuous distribution is proposed, which leads to a new class of distributions, called the weighted exponentiated family. A special sub-model is discussed. General expressions for some of the mathematical properties of this class such as the moments, quantile function, generating function and order statistics are derived;...

Rényi 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...

A continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE

The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...
