dc.description.abstract 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 estimators for the distribution’s parameters together with asymptotic standard errors for these estimators. en_US
