Generalized half-normal distribution: Model and properties
Authors
Abstract:
In this article new generalization of half-normal distribution as the half generalized normal distribution is introduced. This distribution, contains the half-normal distribution as special case. We provide mathematical properties of this distribution. We also derive the pdf, cdf, -th moment, the asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients and the moment generating function. We discuss some inferential aspects related to the maximum likelihood estimation. Finally we illustrate the flexibility of this type of distribution with applications to real data sets.

Power 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...
full textThe Type I Generalized Half Logistic Distribution
In this paper, we considered the half logistic model and derived a probability density function that generalized it. The cumulative distribution function, the $n^{th}$ moment, the median, the mode and the 100$k$-percentage points of the generalized distribution were established. Estimation of the parameters of the distribution through maximum likelihood method was accomplished with the aid of c...
full textA Perturbed Half-normal Distribution and Its Applications
In this paper, a new generalization of the half-normal distribution which is called the perturbed half-normal distribution is introduced. The new distribution belongs to a family of distributions which includes the half-normal distribution along with an extra parameter to regulate skewness. The probability density function (pdf) is derived and some various properties of the new distribution are...
full textGeneralized Lambda Distribution and its Properties
Generalized Lambda Distribution is an extension of Tukey's lambda distribution, that is very flexible in modeling information and statistical data. In this paper, We introduced two parameterization of this distribution. Then We estimate parameters by moment matching, percentile, starship and maximum likelihood methods and compare two parameterization and parameter estimation method...
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 textOn the Properties of the Generalized Normal Distribution
The target of this paper is to provide a critical review and to enlarge the theory related to the Generalized Normal Distributions (GND). This three term (position, scale shape) distribution is based in a strong theoretical background due to Logarithm Sobolev Inequalities. Moreover, the GND is the appropriate one to support the Generalized entropy type Fisher’s information measure.
