Multivariate Geometric Skew-Normal Distribution [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics, 2017
Azzalini (1985) introduced a skew-normal distribution of which normal distribution is a special case. Recently Kundu (2014) introduced a geometric skew-normal distribution and showed that it has certain advantages over Azzalini's skew-normal distribution.

An analysis of skewness and skewness persistence in three emerging markets [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging Markets Review, 2005
This paper reports an investigation into the extent and persistence of skewness in stock returns in three emerging markets, namely the Czech Republic, Kenya and Poland. The study is undertaken using the extended skew normal distribution and an asymmetric

On Multivariate Skewness and Kurtosis [PDF]

open access: yesSankhya A, 2020
AbstractA unified treatment of all currently available cumulant-based indexes of multivariate skewness and kurtosis is provided here, expressing them in terms of the third and fourth-order cumulant vectors respectively. Such a treatment helps reveal many subtle features and inter-connections among the existing indexes as well as some deficiencies ...

On a Vector-Valued Measure of Multivariate Skewness [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
The canonical skewness vector is an analytically simple function of the third-order, standardized moments of a random vector. Statistical applications of this skewness measure include semiparametric modeling, independent component analysis, model-based clustering, and multivariate normality testing.

On the singularity of multivariate skew-symmetric models [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 2010
Using a colloquial style and awkward notation, the authors first solve the problem of characterizing the symmetric kernels leading to singular Fisher information matrices in the vicinity of symmetry for a class of multivariate skew-symmetric distributions.

Exploiting skewness to build an optimal hedge fund with a currency overlay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper documents an investigation into the use of portfolio selection methods to construct a hedge fund with a currency overlay. The fund, which is based on number of international stock and bond market indices and is constructed from the perspective
