Empirical probability distribution of journal impact factor and over-the-samples stability in its estimated parameters
Mishra, SK - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
The data on JIFs provided by Thomson Scientific can only be considered as a sample since they do not cover the entire universe of those documents that cite an intellectual output (paper, article, etc) or are cited by others. Then, questions arise if the empirical distribution (best fit to the...

Moments of the generalized hyperbolic distribution
Scott, David J; Würtz, Diethelm; Dong, Christine; … - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
In this paper we demonstrate a recursive method for obtaining the moments of the generalized hyperbolic distribution. The method is readily programmable for numerical evaluation of moments. For low order moments we also give an alternative derivation of the moments of the generalized hyperbolic...

Temporal changes in the parameters of statistical distribution of journal impact factor
Mishra, SK - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
Statistical distribution of Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is characteristically asymmetric and non-mesokurtic. Even the distribution of log10(JIF) exhibits conspicuous skewness and non-mesokurticity. In this paper we estimate the parameters of Johnson SU distribution fitting to the log10(JIF) data...
