[ 1 ] - 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...
