SIG en la nube: WebSIG para la enseñanza de la geografía
(Grupo de Didáctica de la Geografía de la Asociación de Geógrafos EspañolesDepartment of Instruction and Curriculum, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2011)There is no doubt among most geography educators that GIS is an important tool for teaching and learning, but its use has been slowed by issues such as the cost of the software and the management of large spatial data ... -
Simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations
(Blackwell Publishing,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ... -
A doubling technique for the power method transformations
(Hikari Ltd,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012)Power method polynomials are used for simulating non-normal distributions with specified product moments or L-moments. The power method is capable of producing distributions with extreme values of skew (L-skew) and kurtosis ... -
A L-moment based analog for the Schmeiser-Deutsch class of distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 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 Tukey h and h-h distributions through L-moments and the L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 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 doubling method for the generalized lambda distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 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, ... -
A method for simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-skew, L-kurtosis, and L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,Department of Curriculum & Instruction, The University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ...
