Abstract:

‎Here we consider  a new class of skew logistic  distribution as a generalized mixture of the standard logistic and skew logistic distributions‎, ‎and study some of its important aspects‎. ‎The tail behaviour of the  distribution is compared with that of the skew logistic distribution and a location-scale extension of the distribution is proposed‎. ‎Further the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the extended class of distribution is attempted. The usefulness of the proposed  class of distribution is illustrated with the help of a data set‎.

A 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...

A Generalized Skew Logistic Distribution

• In this paper, we introduce a generalized skew logistic distribution that contains the usual skew logistic distribution as a special case. Several mathematical properties of the distribution are discussed like the cumulative distribution function and moments. Furthermore, estimation using the method of maximum likelihood and the Fisher information matrix are investigated. Two real data applic...

Flexible Class of Skew-Symmetric Distributions

We propose a flexible class of skew-symmetric distributions for which the probability density function has the form of a product of a symmetric density and a skewing function. By constructing an enumerable dense subset of skewing functions on a compact set, we are able to consider a family of distributions, which can capture skewness, heavy tails and multimodality systematically. We present thr...

A Two-parameter Generalized Skew-Cauchy Distribution

In this paper, we discuss a new generalization of univariate skew-Cauchy distribution with two parameters, we denoted this by GSC(&lambda1, &lambda2), that it has more flexible than the skew-Cauchy distribution (denoted by SC(&lambda)), introduced by Behboodian et al. (2006). Furthermore, we establish some useful properties of this distribution and by two numerical example, show that GSC(&lambd...
