Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Distributions in Statistics and Data Science.

This document is an editorial introducing a special issue of the journal "Symmetry" on the topic of symmetrical and asymmetrical distributions in statistics and data science. The editorial provides a summary of the contributions to the special issue, which include studies on topics such as control charts, copulas, statistical distributions, discretization methods, spatial dependence, queuing models, survival analysis, and reliability analysis. The authors invite researchers to submit contributions to a second volume of the special issue, with a potential focus on the hypergeometric and negative hypergeometric distributions.
