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 ...
On the order statistics of standard normal based power method distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper derives a procedure for determining the expectations of order statistics associated with
the standard normal distribution Z and its powers of order three and five Z3 and Z5. The
procedure is demonstrated for ...
A Method for Simulating Burr Type III and Type XII Distributions through 𝐿-Moments and 𝐿-Correlations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This paper derives the Burr Type III and Type XII family of distributions in the contexts of univariate 𝐿-moments and the 𝐿-
correlations. Included is the development of a procedure for specifying nonnormal distributions ...
An L-Moment Based Characterization of the Family of Dagum Distributions
(Scienpress Ltd., 2013)
This paper introduces a method for simulating univariate and multivariate Dagum
distributions through the method of 𝐿-moments and 𝐿-correlations. A method is developed
for characterizing non-normal Dagum distributions ...
Twenty-Six Years of Changes in Education Students’ Attitudes
(Center for Promoting Ideas, USA, 2015-12)
The main purpose of this quantitative study was to compare graduate education students from 1988 with graduate
and undergraduate education students from 2014 in regard to their attitudes and expectations about teaching,
schools, ...
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 ...
Simulating Uniform- and Triangular- Based Double Power Method Distributions
(Scienpress Ltd, 2017)
Power method (PM) polynomials have been used for simulating non-normal
distributions in a variety of settings such as toxicology research, price risk,
business-cycle features, microarray analysis, computer adaptive ...
Using a Generalized Linear Mixed Model Approach to Explore the Role of Age, Motor Proficiency, and Cognitive Styles in Children's Reach Estimation Accuracy
(Sage Publishing, 2014)
The purpose was to use a multi-level statistical technique to analyze how children's age, motor proficiency, and cognitive styles interact to affect
accuracy on reach estimation tasks via Motor Imagery and Visual Imagery. ...
