A Review on Slash and Related Distributions‎

author

Abstract:

The normal distribution plays an important role in statistical analysis‎. ‎However‎, ‎a researcher may also wish to construct another symmetric distributions which fit the data better than the normal distribution‎. ‎For this purpose‎, ‎more flexible distributions have been introduced‎. ‎In this thesis‎, ‎we introduce some of such distributions‎. ‎We first introduce the slash distribution as a family of mixed-normal scale distributions‎. ‎The slash distribution can be used instead of normal distribution‎, ‎in many situations‎. ‎We also introduce Skew-slash‎. ‎Then‎, ‎a new modified-slash distribution is discussed‎. ‎We also study a modified Skew-slash distribution‎. ‎Some properties of the distributions discussed in this thesis are given‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we present the stochastic representations‎, ‎density functions and moments of the distributions‎.

The multivariate slash and skew-slash student t distributions

In this article, we introduce the multivariate slash and skew-slash t distributions which provide alternative choices in simulating and fitting skewed and heavy tailed data. We study their relationships with other distributions and give the densities, stochastic representations, moments, marginal distributions, distributions of linear combinations and characteristic functions of the random vect...

A Family of Skew-Slash Distributions and Estimation of its Parameters via an EM Algorithm

Abstract. In this paper, a family of skew-slash distributions is defined and investigated. We define the new family by the scale mixture of a skew-elliptically distributed random variable with the power of a uniform random variable. This family of distributions contains slash-elliptical and skew-slash distributions. We obtain the moments and some distributional properties of the new family of d...

On discrete a-unimodal and a-monotone distributions

Unimodality is one of the building structures of distributions that like skewness, kurtosis and symmetry is visible in the shape of a function. Comparing two different distributions, can be a very difficult task. But if both the distributions are of the same types, for example both are unimodal, for comparison we may just compare the modes, dispersions and skewness. So, the concept of unimodali...

CRB1-Related Leber Congenital Amaurosis: Reporting Novel Pathogenic Variants and a Brief Review on Mutations Spectrum

Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a rare inherited retinal disease causing severe visual impairment in infancy. It has been reported that 9-15% of LCA cases have mutations in CRB1 gene. The complex of CRB1 protein with other associated proteins affects the determination of cell polarity, orientation, and morphogenesis of photoreceptors. Here, we report three novel pathogenic varia...
