Tests on asymmetry for ordered categorical variables

Klein, Ingo; Doll, Monika - 2018

Skewness is a well-established statistical concept for continuous and to a lesser extent for discrete quantitative statistical variables. However, for ordered categorical variables almost no literature concerning skewness exists, although this type of variables is common for behavioral,...

Van Zwet ordering for Fechner asymmetry

Klein, Ingo - 2011

There are several procedures to construct a skewed distribution. One of these procedures splits the value of a parameter of scale for the two halfs of a symmetric distribution. Fechner proposed this procedure in his famous book Kollektivmaßlehre (1897), p. 295ff.. A similar proposal comes from...

Van Zwet ordering and the Ferreira-Steel family of skewed distributions

Klein, Ingo - 2011

was refined by Ferreira and Steel. Up to now, it is an open question whether the famous skewness ordering of van Zwet will … be preserved for this proposal. There is a general condition under which the van Zwets skewness ordering will be …. First, the skewness ordering will be preserved starting for symmetric distributions that are leptokurtic like the logistic …
