In this article, we establish properties that relate quantiles of the log-skew-normal distribution to its parameters, allowing us investigate relationship between a positive skewed response variable and set explanatory variables via linear regression model. We compute maximum likelihood estimates parameters through correspondence skew-normal models. Monte Carlo simulations show satisfactory per...

In this paper, a class of multivariate skew distributions has been explored. Then its properties are derived. The relationship between the multivariate skew normal and the Wishart distribution is also studied. @ 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
