Statistical distributions are fundamental to statistical science and are a prime indispensable tool for its applications. This monograph is the first to examine an important but somewhat neglected area in this field -- univariate continuous distributions on a bounded domain, excluding the beta distribution. It provides an elementary but thorough discussion of "novel" contributions developed in recent years and some of their applications. It contains a comprehensive chapter on the triangular distribution as well as a chapter on earlier extensions of this distribution not emphasized in existing statistical literature. Special attention is given to estimation, in particular, non-standard maximum likelihood procedures.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
... a general framework for constructing two sided distributions is described. -- Mathematical Reviews
A good starting-point for models for variables whose domain is necessarily bounded and which may require more flexibility. -- Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A
Together with the historical notes, this monograph is an interesting piece of work. -- Short Book Reviews
