Developing flexible classes of distributions to account for both skewness and bimodality
share
We develop two novel approaches for constructing skewed and bimodal flexible distributions that can effectively generalize classical symmetric distributions. We illustrate the application of introduced techniques by extending normal, student-t, and Laplace distributions. We also study the properties of the newly constructed distributions. The method of maximum likelihood is proposed for estimating the model parameters. Furthermore, the application of new distributions is represented using real-life data.
