A NEW FAMILY OF UNI/BI-MODAL DISTRIBUTIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Myung Cheol Kim (Korea), Hea-Jung Kim (Korea) and Hwang Kangjin (Korea)
|
Abstract: In this paper we present a new family of distributions that allows a continuous variation not only from normality to non-normality but also from unimodality to bimodality. Its properties are especially useful in studying and making inferences about models involving the univariate truncated normal distribution. The properties of the family and its applications are given. |
Keywords and phrases: family of distributions, moments of random function, functional binary regression, tolerance interval. |
