This paper develops a skewed extension of the type III generalized logistic distribution and presents the analytical equations for the computation of its moments, cumulative probabilities and quantile values. It is demonstrated through an example that the distribution provides an excellent fit...

This paper presents a unified framework for the popular Skewed Generalized t (SGT) distribution and its special cases the Skewed Generalized Error Distribution (SGED), the skewed student's t, the skewed Laplace and skewed normal distributions. The analytical moment equations presented can be...

The impact of the cognitive biases of overconfidence, underconfidence and anchoring on the distribution of errors of forecasting models is analyzed using an analytical framework based on a flexible two-piece generalized distribution. The total forecasting bias, measured by the expected value of...

This paper discusses three families of flexible parametric probability density functions: the skewed generalized t, the exponential generalized beta of the second kind, and the inverse hyperbolic sin distributions. These families allow quite flexible modeling the first four moments of a...
