A New Skew-normal Density
Authors
Abstract:
We present a new skew-normal distribution, denoted by NSN($lambada$). We first derive the density and moment generating function of NSN($lambada$). The properties of SN($lambada$), the known skew-normal distribution of Azzalini, and NSN($lambada$) are compared with each other. Finally, a numerical example for testing about the parameter $lambada$ in NSN($lambada$) is given.

A Two-parameter Balakrishnan Skew-normal Distribution
In this paper, we discuss a generalization of Balakrishnan skew-normal distribution with two parameters that contains the skew-normal, the Balakrishnan skew-normal and the two-parameter generalized skew-normal distributions as special cases. Furthermore, we establish some useful properties and two extensions of this distribution.
full textA 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...
full textAnalyzing Near-Normal Data Using a New Density Function within Azzalini’s Class of Skew Distributions
A family of distributions, which was first introduced by O’Hagan and Leonard [9] for Bayesian analysis of normal means and was later investigated in detail by Azzalini [3, 4], is modified leading to a new class of asymmetric distributions. A new score test is derived for detecting non-normality within the new class of asymmetric distributions. The maximum likelihood estimates are derived for lo...
full textNote on a new generalization of the skew-normal distribution
In this paper we define and study a three-parameter distribution, referred to as the Beta skew-normal distribution (BSN), which is a generalization of the skewnormal distribution introduced by Azzalini [1]. This family is obtained using the generator approach suggested by Eugene et al. [2] and Jones [3]. Some properties of the proposed distribution are discussed: among others the moment generat...
full textGeometric Skew Normal Distribution
In this article we introduce a new three parameter skewed distribution of which normal distribution is a special case. This distribution is obtained by using geometric sum of independent identically distributed normal random variables. We call this distribution as the geometric skew normal distribution. Different properties of this new distribution have been investigated. The probability densit...
