A New Class of Skew-Normal Distributions
Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2004 We introduce a new family of asymmetric normal distributions that contains Azzalini's skew-normal (SN) distribution as a special case. We study the main properties of this new family, showing in particular that it may be generated via mixtures on the SN asymmetry parameter when the mixing distribution is normal.

Approximate skew normal distribution
Journal of Advanced Research, 2010 We propose a new approximate skew normal distribution, it is easy to calculate, convenient, mathematically tractable and is in a closed form. It is particularly useful when the probability density function occurs in an expression to be used for further ...

On the Unification of Families of Skew-normal Distributions
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 2006 Abstract. The distribution theory literature connected to the multivariate skew‐normal distribution has grown rapidly in recent years, and a number of extensions and alternative formulations have been put forward. Presently there are various coexisting proposals, similar but not identical, and with rather unclear connections.

The Skew-Normal Distribution in SPC
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2013 Modeling real data sets, even when we have some potential (as)symmetric models for the underlying data distribution, is always a very difficult task due to some uncontrollable perturbation factors.

An Extension of the Epsilon-Skew-Normal Distribution
Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2010 This article is related with the probabilistic and statistical properties of an parametric extension of the so-called epsilon-skew-normal (ESN) distribution introduced by Mudholkar and Hutson (2000), which considers an additional shape parameter in order to increase the flexibility of the ESN distribution.

Statistical applications of the multivariate skew normal distribution
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 1999 Summary Azzalini and Dalla Valle have recently discussed the multivariate skew normal distribution which extends the class of normal distributions by the addition of a shape parameter. The first part of the present paper examines further probabilistic properties of the distribution, with special emphasis on aspects of statistical ...

A new family of skewed slash distributions generated by the normal kernel
Statistica, 2013 The present paper is a generalization of the recent paper by Nadaraja and Kotz (2003) (Skewed distributions generated by the normal kernel, “Statistics & Probability Letters’’, 65, pp. 269-277). The new family of univariate skewed slash distributions

Generalized Skew-Normal Negentropy and Its Application to Fish Condition Factor Time Series
Entropy, 2017 The problem of measuring the disparity of a particular probability density function from a normal one has been addressed in several recent studies. The most used technique to deal with the problem has been exact expressions using information measures ...
