The half-normal distribution is composited with the Pareto model to obtain a uni-parametric distribution with a heavy right tail, called the composite half-normal-Pareto distribution. This new distribution is useful for modeling positive data with atypical observations. We study the properties and the behavior of the right tail of this new distribution. We estimate the parameter using a method based on percentiles and the maximum likelihood method and assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator using Monte Carlo. We report three applications, one with simulated data and the others with income and expenditure data, in which the new distribution presents better performance than the Pareto distribution.

In this paper, we consider a transformation in a random variable which follows a bimodal Birnbaum-Saunders distribution. We propose the unit-bimodal Birnbaum-Saunders (UBBS) distribution and investigate some of its important properties, like cumulative distribution function, moments, survival function and risk function. We apply the UBBS distribution to censored data inflated at zero and one. We used the maximum likelihood approach for parameter estimation and to compare the models. Given the flexibility in UBBS distribution modes, our proposal performs best in beta regression models with zero and/or one excess. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the scale mixture of the Gleser (SMG) distribution is introduced. This new distribution is the product of a scale mixture between the Gleser (G) distribution and the Beta (a , 1) distribution. The SMG distribution is an alternative to distributions with two parameters and a heavy right tail. We study its representation and some basic properties, maximum likelihood inference, and Fisher's information matrix. We present an application to a real dataset in which the SMG distribution shows a better fit than two other known distributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the development of a new extension of the generalized skew-normal distribution introduced in Gómez et al. [Generalized skew-normal models: properties and inference. Statistics. 2006;40(6):495–505]. To produce the generalization a new parameter is introduced, the signal of which has the flexibility of yielding unimodal as well as bimodal distributions. We study its properties, derive a stochastic representation and state some expressions that facilitate moments derivation. Maximum likelihood is implemented via the EM algorithm which is based on the stochastic representation derived. We show that the Fisher information matrix is singular and discuss ways of getting round this problem. An illustration using real data reveals that the model can capture well special data features such as bimodality and asymmetry. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In this paper, we extend the Lomax–Rayleigh distribution to increase its kurtosis. The construction of this distribution is based on the idea of the Slash distribution, that is, its representation is based on the quotient of two independent random variables, one being a random variable with a Lomax–Rayleigh distribution and the other a beta (q , 1) . Based on the representation of this family, we study its basic properties, such as moments, coefficients of skewness, and kurtosis. We perform statistical inference using the methods of moments and maximum likelihood. To illustrate this methodology, we apply it to two real data sets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we introduce a new distribution, called the modified slash Lindley distribution, which can be seen as an extension of the Lindley distribution. We show that this new distribution provides more flexibility in terms of kurtosis and skewness than the Lindley distribution. We derive moments and some basic properties for the new distribution. Moment estimators and maximum likelihood estimators are calculated using numerical procedures. We carry out a simulation study for the maximum likelihood estimators. A fit of the proposed model indicates good performance when compared with other less flexible models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The slash-weighted Lindley model is introduced due to the need to obtain a model with more kurtosis than the weighted Lindley distribution. Several expressions for the pdf of this model are given. Its cumulative distribution function is expressed in terms of a generalized hypergeometric function and the incomplete gamma function. Moments and maximum likelihood estimation were studied. A simulation study was carried out to illustrate the good performance of the estimates. Finally, two real applications are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose a nonlinear regression model with exponentiated skew-elliptical errors distributed, which can be fitted to datasets with high levels of asymmetry and kurtosis. Maximum likelihood estimation procedures in finite samples are discussed and the information matrix is deduced. We carried out a diagnosis of the influence for the nonlinear model. To analyze the sensitivity of the maximum likelihood estimators of the model's parameters to small perturbations in distribution assumptions and parameter estimation, we studied the perturbation schemes, the case weight, and the explanatory and response variables of perturbations; we also carried out a residual analysis of the deviance components. Simulation studies were performed to assess some properties of the estimators, showing the good performance of the proposed estimation procedure in finite samples. Finally, an application to a real dataset is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
We establish two-point distortion theorems for sense-preserving planar harmonic mappings f = h + g ¯ in the unit disk D which satisfy harmonic versions of the univalence criteria due to Becker and Nehari. In addition, we also find two-point distortion theorems for the cases when h is a normalized convex function and, more generally, when h (D) is a c-linearly connected domain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an alternative skew Student-t family of distributions is studied. It is obtained as an extension of the generalized Student-t (GS-t) family introduced by McDonald and Newey [10]. The extension that is obtained can be seen as a reparametrization of the skewed GS-t distribution considered by Theodossiou [14]. A key element in the construction of such an extension is that it can be stochastically represented as a mixture of an epsilon-skew-power-exponential distribution [1] and a generalized-gamma distribution. From this representation, we can readily derive theoretical properties and easy-to-implement simulation schemes. Furthermore, we study some of its main properties including stochastic representation, moments and asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients. We also derive the Fisher information matrix, which is shown to be nonsingular for some special cases such as when the asymmetry parameter is null, that is, at the vicinity of symmetry, and discuss maximum-likelihood estimation. Simulation studies for some particular cases and real data analysis are also reported, illustrating the usefulness of the extension considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we show that certain skew-normal parametric statistical models are a result of rescalings of the skew normal model studied by Azzalini (1985). Using this procedure we define a class of skew-normal distributions and we study its moment, skewness and kurtosis coefficients. At the end of this article we will use this class of distribution to make some extensions of the skew-normal model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce a new class of skew-symmetric distributions which are formulated based on cumulative distributions of skew-symmetric densities. This new class is an extension of other skew-symmetric distributions that have already been studied. We give special attention to a family from this class that could be seen as an extension of the skew-generalized-normal model introduced by Arellano-Valle et al. (2004). We study the main properties, stochastic representation, moments and an extension of this new model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work presents an extension of the slash Lindley–Weibull distribution, of which it can be considered a modification. The new family is obtained by using the quotient of two independent random variables: a two-parameter Lindley–Weibull distribution divided by a power of the exponential distribution with parameter equal to 2. We present the pdf and cdf of the new distribution, analyzing their risk functions. Some statistical properties are studied and the moments and coefficients of asymmetry and kurtosis are shown. The parameter estimation problem is carried out by the maximum likelihood method. The method is assessed by a Monte Carlo simulation study. We use nutrition data, which are characterized by high kurtosis, to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In actuarial statistics, distributions with heavy tails are of great interest to actuaries, as they represent a better description of risk exposure through a type of indicator with a certain probability. These risk indicators are used to determine companies' exposure to a particular risk. In this paper, we present a distribution with heavy right tail, studying its properties and the behaviour of the tail. We estimate the parameters using the maximum likelihood method and evaluate the performance of these estimators using Monte Carlo. We analyse one set of simulated data and another set of real data, showing that the distribution studied can be used to model income data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FISHER information , *MAXIMUM likelihood statistics , *AIR pollutants , *PARAMETER estimation , *LOGNORMAL distribution , *PROBLEM solving - Abstract
In this study, we consider an alternative to the log-skew-normal distribution. It is called the modified log-skew-normal distribution and introduces greater flexibility in the skewness and kurtosis parameters. We first study several of the main probabilistic properties of the new distribution, such as the computation of its moments and the non-existence of the moment-generating function. Parameter estimation by the maximum likelihood approach is also studied. This approach presents an overestimation problem in the shape parameter, which in some cases, can even be infinite. However, as we demonstrate, this problem is solved by adapting bias reduction using Firth's approach. We also show that the modified log-skew-normal model likewise inherits the non-singularity of the Fisher information matrix of the untransformed model, when the shape parameter is null. Finally, we apply the modified log-skew-normal model to a real example related to pollution data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DISTRIBUTION (Probability theory) , *MAXIMUM likelihood statistics , *RANDOM variables , *STRESS fractures (Orthopedics) , *HAZARD function (Statistics) , *KURTOSIS - Abstract
In this paper, an extension of the power half-normal (PHN) distribution is introduced. This new model is built on the application of slash methodology for positive random variables. The result is a distribution with greater kurtosis than the PHN; i.e., its right tail is heavier than the PHN distribution. Its probability density, survival and hazard rate function are studied, and moments, skewness and kurtosis coefficientes are obtained, along with relevant properties of interest in reliability. It is also proven that the new model can be expressed as the scale mixture of a PHN and a uniform distribution. Moreover, the new model holds the PHN distribution as a limit case when the new parameter tends to infinity. The parameters in the model are estimated by the method of moments and maximum likelihood. A simulation study is given to illustrate the good behavior of maximum likelihood estimators. Two real applications to survival and fatigue fracture data are included, in which our proposal outperforms other models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes a new distribution, the Confluent hypergeometric slashed-Rayleigh distribution. The new distribution can be seen as an alternative to the slashed-Rayleigh distribution. It arises as quotient of two independent random variables, one being a Rayleigh distribution in the numerator the other a square root of the beta distribution in the denominator. Several structural properties (such as the density function, hazard rate function and moments) are derived. Parameters estimation is performed based on the moment and maximum likelihood methods. Finally, two applications are presented in which the utility of the new model in the analysis of real data is illustrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents an extended distribution that builds upon the exponential distribution. This extension is based on a scale mixture between the exponential and beta distributions. By utilizing this approach, we obtain a distribution that offers increased flexibility in terms of the kurtosis coefficient. We explore the general density, properties, moments, asymmetry, and kurtosis coefficients of this distribution. Statistical inference is performed using both the moments and maximum likelihood methods. To show the performance of this new model, it is applied to a real dataset with atypical observations. The results indicate that the new model outperforms two other extensions of the exponential distribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a new family of continuous distributions with positive support is introduced. This family is generated by a truncation of the family of univariate symmetrical distributions. In this new family of distributions, general properties, such as moments, asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients, are derived. Particular cases of interest based on the normal, logistic, Laplace and Cauchy models are discussed in depth. The estimation of parameters is carried out by applying moments and maximum likelihood methods. Also, a simulation study was conducted to illustrate the good performance of estimators. An application to the Survival Times (in days) of Guinea Pigs dataset is included, where the special cases of distributions in this family are fitted. The option which provides the best fit is ultimately chosen. An R package, called "tpn", has been implemented, which includes the relevant cases of interest in this family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FISHER information , *INFERENCE (Logic) , *DEGREES of freedom , *ESTUARIES - Abstract
In this paper, likelihood-based inference and bias correction based on Firth's approach are developed in the modified skew-t-normal (MStN) distribution. The latter model exhibits a greater flexibility than the modified skew-normal (MSN) distribution since it is able to model heavily skewed data and thick tails. In addition, the tails are controlled by the shape parameter and the degrees of freedom. We provide the density of this new distribution and present some of its more important properties including a general expression for the moments. The Fisher's information matrix together with the observed matrix associated with the log-likelihood are also given. Furthermore, the non-singularity of the Fisher's information matrix for the MStN model is demonstrated when the shape parameter is zero. As the MStN model presents an inferential problem in the shape parameter, Firth's method for bias reduction was applied for the scalar case and for the location and scale case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a new distribution, the product of the mixture between Maxwell-Boltzmann and a particular case of the generalized gamma distributions. The resulting distribution, called the Scale Mixture Maxwell-Boltzmann, presents greater kurtosis than the recently introduced slash Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. We obtained closed-form expressions for its probability density and cumulative distribution functions. We studied some of its properties and moments, as well as its skewness and kurtosis coefficients. Parameters were estimated by the moments and maximum likelihood methods, via the Expectation-Maximization algorithm for the latter case. A simulation study was performed to illustrate the parameter recovery. The results of an application to a real data set indicate that the new model performs very well in the presence of outliers compared with other alternatives in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we develop two fully parametric quantile regression models, based on the power Johnson S B distribution for modeling unit interval response in different quantiles. In particular, the conditional distribution is modeled by the power Johnson S B distribution. The maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method is employed to estimate the model parameters. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the performance of the ML estimators in finite samples. Furthermore, we discuss influence diagnostic tools and residuals. The effectiveness of our proposals is illustrated with a data set of the mortality rate of COVID-19 in different countries. The results of our models with this data set show the potential of using the new methodology. Thus, we conclude that the results are favorable to the use of proposed quantile regression models for fitting double bounded data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we introduce a new family of symmetric-asymmetric distributions based on skew distributions and on the family of order statistics with proportional hazards. This new family of distributions is able to fit both unimodal and bimodal asymmetric data. Furthermore, it contains, as special cases, the symmetric distribution and the "skew-symmetric" family, and therefore the skew-normal distribution. Another interesting feature of the family is that the parameter controlling the distributional shape in bimodal cases takes values in the interval (0, 1); this is an advantage for computing maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters, which is performed by numerical methods. The practical utility of the proposed distribution is illustrated in two real data applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The probability density function of the new model can assume bimodal or unimodal shapes, and one of the parameters controls the skewness of the model. Three simulation studies are reported and two real data applications illustrate the flexibility of the model compared with traditional proposals in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTEGRAL transforms , *GEOMETRIC function theory - Abstract
Bieberbach's conjecture was very important in the development of geometric function theory, not only because of the result itself, but also due to the large amount of methods that have been developed in search of its proof. It is in this context that the integral transformations of the type f α (z) = ∫ 0 z (f (ζ) / ζ) α d ζ or F α (z) = ∫ 0 z (f ′ (ζ)) α d ζ appear. In this note we extend the classical problem of finding the values of α ∈ C for which either f α or F α are univalent, whenever f belongs to some subclasses of univalent mappings in D , to the case of logharmonic mappings by considering the extension of the shear construction introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in (Clunie and Sheil-Small in Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Ser. A I 9:3–25, 1984) to this new scenario. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we introduce a distribution which is an extension of the power Maxwell distribution. This new distribution is constructed based on the quotient of two independent random variables, the distributions of which are the power Maxwell distribution and a function of the uniform distribution (0,1) respectively. Thus the result is a distribution with greater kurtosis than the power Maxwell. We study the general density of this distribution, and some properties, moments, asymmetry and kurtosis coefficients. Maximum likelihood and moments estimators are studied. We also develop the expectation–maximization algorithm to make a simulation study and present two applications to real data.

The main object of this paper is to develop an alternative construction for the bimodal skew-normal distribution. The construction is based upon a study of the mixture of skew-normal distributions. We study some basic properties of this family, its stochastic representations and expressions for its moments. Parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is carried out to observe the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, we compare the efficiency of the new distribution with other distributions in the literature using a real data set. The study shows that the proposed approach presents satisfactory results.

GAUSSIAN distribution , *FISHER information - Abstract
In this article we study the properties, inference, and statistical applications to a parametric generalization of the truncation positive normal distribution, introducing a new parameter so as to increase the flexibility of the new model. For certain combinations of parameters, the model includes both symmetric and asymmetric shapes. We study the model's basic properties, maximum likelihood estimators and Fisher information matrix. Finally, we apply it to two real data sets to show the model's good performance compared to other models with positive support: the first, related to the height of the drum of the roller and the second, related to daily cholesterol consumption.

QUANTILE regression , *CUMULATIVE distribution function - Abstract
In this article, we study an extension of the sinh Cauchy model in order to obtain asymmetric bimodality. The behavior of the distribution may be either unimodal or bimodal. We calculate its cumulative distribution function and use it to carry out quantile regression. We calculate the maximum likelihood estimators and carry out a simulation study. Two applications are analyzed based on real data to illustrate the flexibility of the distribution for modeling unimodal and bimodal data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EXPONENTIAL functions , *MAXIMUM likelihood statistics - Abstract
This article introduces an extension of the Power Muth (PM) distribution for modeling positive data sets with a high coefficient of kurtosis. The resulting distribution has greater kurtosis than the PM distribution. We show that the density can be represented based on the incomplete generalized integro-exponential function. We study some of its properties and moments, and its coefficients of asymmetry and kurtosis. We apply estimations using the moments and maximum likelihood methods and present a simulation study to illustrate parameter recovery. The results of application to two real data sets indicate that the new model performs very well in the presence of outliers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Marshall-Olkin extended family of distributions is an alternative for modeling lifetimes, and considers more or less asymmetry than its parent model, achieved by incorporating just one extra parameter. We investigate the bias of maximum likelihood estimators and use it to develop an estimator with less bias than traditional estimators, by a modification of the score function. Unlike other proposals, in this paper, we consider a bias reduction methodology that can be applied to any member of the family and not necessarily to any particular distribution. We conduct a Monte Carlo simulation in order to study the performance of the corrected estimators in finite samples. This simulation shows that the maximum likelihood estimator is quite biased and the proposed estimator is much less biased; in small sample sizes, the bias is reduced by around 50 percent. Two applications, related to the air conditioning system of an airplane and precipitations, are presented to illustrate the results. In those applications, the bias reduction for the shape parameters is close to 25% and the bias reduction also reduces, among others things, the width of the 95% confidence intervals for quantiles lower than 0.594.
