Skew-t distribution is an appropriate alternative for the weighted exponential distribution
Authors
Abstract:
In this manuscript first a brief introduction to the Skew-t and Weighted exponential distributions is considered and some of their important properties will be studied. Then we will show that the Skew-t distribution is prefered to the Weighted exponential distribution in fitting by using the real data. Finally we will prove our claim by using the simulation method.

An Extension of the Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution Based on Skew-Normal t Distribution
In this paper, we introducte a family of univariate Birnbaum-Saunders distributions arising from the skew-normal-t distribution. We obtain several properties of this distribution such as its moments, the maximum likelihood estimation procedure via an EM-algorithm and a method to evaluate standard errors using the EM-algorithm. Finally, we apply these methods to a real data set to demonstr...
full textGeneralizations of the Skew t-Normal Distribution and their Properties
In this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. Also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. Next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, Nickel and Vanadium, associated with crude oil in Shadgan wetland in the south-...
full textA weighted inverted exponential distribution
In this paper, a generalized version of the inverted exponential distribution called the weighted inverted exponential distribution is introduced. The proposed distribution is used to analyze lifetime data. Several statistical properties of the weighted inverted exponential distribution are studied and derived. Least squares estimation, maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation meth...
full textOn The Moments Of The Time To Ruin Distribution When The Initial Reserve Is Large And Claim Amount Distribution Is Two Stage Hypo Exponential Distribution
In any classical risk model one of the important random variable is time to ruin. As time to ruin warns the management for possible adverse situations that may arise, the distribution of time to ruin place a vital role in the day to day transactions of the any insurance company. Moments of the distribution are also important as coefficient of skewness of the distribution is very important in ac...
full textThe Generalised Hyperbolic Skew Student’s t-distribution
The empirical distribution of daily returns from financial market variables such as exchange rates, equity prices, and interest rates, is often skewed, having one heavy, and one semiheavy, or more Gaussian-like tail. The NIG distribution, that has two semi-heavy tails, models skewness rather well, but only in cases where the tails are not too heavy. On the other hand, the skew Student’s t-distr...
full textAccurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution
Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...
