Birnbaum and Saunders introduced a two‐parameter lifetime distribution to model the
fatigue life of a metal, subject to cyclic stress. Since then, extensive work has been done on …

Interest in the skew-normal and related families of distributions has grown enormously over
recent years, as theory has advanced, challenges of data have grown, and computational …

Coronaviruses are a huge family of viruses that affect neurological, gastrointestinal, hepatic
and respiratory systems. The numbers of confirmed cases are increased daily in different …

This book reviews the state-of-the-art advances in skew-elliptical distributions and provides
many new developments in a single volume, collecting theoretical results and applications …

We model permanent and transitory changes of the predictive density of US GDP growth. A
substantial increase in downside risk to US economic growth emerges over the last 30 …

Parametric families of multivariate nonnormal distributions have received considerable
attention in the past few decades. The authors propose a new definition of a selection …

The new distribution class, Asymmetric Exponential Power Distribution (AEPD), proposed in
this paper generalizes the class of Skewed Exponential Power Distributions (SEPD) in a …

The main object of this paper is to introduce an alternative form of generate asymmetry in the
normal distribution that allows to fit unimodal and bimodal data sets. Basic properties of this …

Univariate continuous distributions are one of the fundamental components on which
statistical modelling, ancient and modern, frequentist and Bayesian, multi‐dimensional and …

In this paper we study a general family of skew‐symmetric distributions which are generated
by the cumulative distribution of the normal distribution. For some distributions, moments are …
