A doubling method for the generalized lambda distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces a new family of generalized lambda distributions (GLDs) based on a method of doubling symmetric GLDs. The focus of the development is in the context of L-moments and L-correlation theory. As such, ...
Characterizing Tukey h and h-h distributions through L-moments and the L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces the Tukey family of symmetric h and asymmetric hh-distributions in the contexts of univariate L-moments and the L-correlation. Included is the development of a procedure for specifying nonnormal ...
A L-moment based analog for the Schmeiser-Deutsch class of distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper characterizes the conventional moment-based Schmeiser-Deutsch (S-D) class of distributions through the method of L-moments. The system can be used in a variety of settings such as simulation or modeling various ...
On the order statistics of standard normal based power method distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper derives a procedure for determining the expectations of order statistics associated with
the standard normal distribution Z and its powers of order three and five Z3 and Z5. The
procedure is demonstrated for ...
Around the world with geospatial technologies

A doubling technique for the power method transformations
(Hikari Ltd,, 2012)
Power method polynomials are used for simulating non-normal distributions with specified product moments or L-moments. The power method is capable of producing distributions with extreme values of skew (L-skew) and kurtosis ...
A method for simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-skew, L-kurtosis, and L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces two families of distributions referred to as the symmetric κ and asymmetric
κL-κR distributions. The families are based on transformations of standard logistic pseudo-random
deviates. The primary ...
Simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations
(Blackwell Publishing,, 2012)
This paper derives a procedure for simulating continuous non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations in the context of power method polynomials of order three. It is demonstrated that the proposed ...
Can adults become fluent in newly learned scripts?
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
Adults learning new scripts have difficulty becoming automatic readers. They typically read haltingly, understand little of what they read, and may forget letter values. This article presents the hypothesis that halting ...
A logistic L-moment based analog for the Tukey g-h, g, h, and h-h system of distributions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces a standard logistic L-moment-based system of distributions. The proposed
system is an analog to the standard normal conventional moment-based Tukey g-h, g, h, and h-h
system of distributions. The ...
