. A 2022 paper [8] introduced the notion of true positive and negative skewness for continuous random variables via Fr´echet p -means. In this work, we find novel criteria for true skewness, establish true skewness for the Weibull, L´evy, skew-normal, and chi-squared distributions, and discuss the extension of true skewness to discrete and multivariate settings. Furthermore, some relevant properties of the p -means of random variables are established.

On homogeneous skewness of unimodal distributions

We introduce a new concept of skewness for unimodal continuous distributions which is built on the asymmetry of the density function around its mode. The asymmetry is captured through a skewness…

SKEWNESS FOR THE WEIBULL FAMILY

. The skewness of the Weibull family of distributions is discussed for all values of the shape parameter. This class includes unimodal probability densities for which the coefficient of skewness…

A New Life of Pearson’s Skewness

In this work, we show how coupling and stochastic dominance methods can be successfully applied to a classical problem of rigorizing Pearson’s skewness. Here, we use Fréchet means to define…

Multivariate skew-normal/independent distributions: properties and inference

Liu (1996) discussed a class of robust normal/independent distributions which contains a group of thick-tailed cases. In this article, we develop a skewed version of these distributions in the…

We investigate stochastic comparisons between exponential family distributions and their mixtures with respect to the usual stochastic order, the hazard rate order, the reversed hazard rate order,…

THE MEAN-MEDIAN-MODE INEQUALITY: COUNTEREXAMPLES

Let x be a random variable whose first three moments exist. If the density of x is unimodal and positively skewed, then counterexamples are provided which show that the inequality mode ≤ median ≤…

THE MEAN-MEDIAN-MODE INEQUALITY AND NONCENTRAL CHI SQUARE DISTRIBUTIONS*

SUMMARY. The usual ordering of the mean, median and mode for a central chi square distribution is extended for the noncentral case. In this context, the mean is known to be addi tive, while it is…

The Skew-Normal and Related Families

This comprehensive treatment, blending theory and practice, will be the standard resource for statisticians and applied researchers, and Assuming only basic knowledge of (non-measure-theoretic) probability and statistical inference, the book is accessible to the wide range of researchers who use statistical modelling techniques.

Heavy‐tailed densities

The concept of heavy‐ or long‐tailed densities (or distributions) has attracted much well‐deserved attention in the literature. A quick search in Google using the keywords long‐tailed statistics…

Strong and Weak Multivariate First-Order Stochastic Dominance

In this article we deal with three types of multivariate first-order stochastic dominance which serve for comparing random vectors. The first one is the strongest and it is generated by all…
