A doubling method for the generalized lambda distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces a new family of generalized lambda distributions (GLDs) based on a method of doubling symmetric GLDs. The focus of the development is in the context of L-moments and L-correlation theory. As such, ...
Characterizing Tukey h and h-h distributions through L-moments and the L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces the Tukey family of symmetric h and asymmetric hh-distributions in the contexts of univariate L-moments and the L-correlation. Included is the development of a procedure for specifying nonnormal ...
A L-moment based analog for the Schmeiser-Deutsch class of distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper characterizes the conventional moment-based Schmeiser-Deutsch (S-D) class of distributions through the method of L-moments. The system can be used in a variety of settings such as simulation or modeling various ...
Characterizing Log-Logistic (LL) Distributions through Methods of Percentiles and L-Moments
(HIKARI Ltd, January 25)
The main purpose of this paper is to characterize the log-logistic
(LL) distributions through the methods of percentiles and L-moments
and contrast with the method of (product) moments. The method of
(product) moments ...
A method for simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-skew, L-kurtosis, and L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces two families of distributions referred to as the symmetric κ and asymmetric
κL-κR distributions. The families are based on transformations of standard logistic pseudo-random
deviates. The primary ...
Simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations
(Blackwell Publishing,, 2012)
This paper derives a procedure for simulating continuous non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations in the context of power method polynomials of order three. It is demonstrated that the proposed ...
On simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type III and Type XII distributions
(Hikari Ltd,, 2010)
This paper describes a method for simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type III and Type XII distributions with specified correlation matrices. The methodology is based on the derivation of the parametric forms of ...
A logistic L-moment based analog for the Tukey g-h, g, h, and h-h system of distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces a standard logistic L-moment-based system of distributions. The proposed
system is an analog to the standard normal conventional moment-based Tukey g-h, g, h, and h-h
system of distributions. The ...
