Balakrishnan et al. proposed a two-piece skew logistic distribution by making use of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of half distributions as the building block, to give rise to an asymmetric family of two-piece ...

Improving vibration-induced discomfort often requires a reduction in the vibration experienced by vehicle occupants. Simulation software and test equipment are able to measure changes in vibration that are too small for ...

The LULU smoothers are effective nonlinear smoothers for signals. We investigate their ability to remove different noise types, namely symmetrical and skewed, as well as heavy- and light-tailed, thereby uncovering the true ...

In this article, the kurtosis of the logistic-exponential distribution is analyzed. All the moments of this survival distribution are finite, but do not possess closed-form expressions. The standardized fourth central moment, ...

In this paper we analyze and compare four different methods, designed to deal with the problem of an inflated batting average due to the presence of a high proportion of not-out innings. Batting records from the 2010 IPL ...

We show that the quantile-based skew logistic distribution possesses kurtosis measures based on L-moments and on quantiles which are skewness invariant. We furthermore derive closed-form expressions for method of L-moments ...

The purpose of this study was to document tongue position and its relation to the cause of death and sequential stages of body decomposition, as observed during the routine forensic pathological examination of bodies. The ...
