Skew‐normal distributions extend the traditional normal model by incorporating a parameter that accounts for asymmetry, thereby providing a more flexible framework for modelling real‐world data.

In this note it is shown that P(η - ξ > 0) can easily be calculated using tables of the bivariate normal distribution, where ξ, η are independent, ξ has a normal distribution, and η has a truncated ...

Forecasting for any small business involves guesswork. You know your business and its past performance, but you may not be comfortable predicting the future. Using Excel is a great way to perform what ...

The normal distribution (also known as the Gaussian distribution) is arguably the most important distribution in Statistics. It is often used to represent continuous random variables occurring in ...

This work presents an application of the EM-algorithm to two problems of estimation and testing in a multivariate normal distribution with missing data. The assumptions are that the observations are ...
