tailieunhanh - Approximate skew normal distribution

We propose a new approximate skew normal distribution, it is easy to calculate, convenient, mathematically tractable and is in a closed form. It is particularly useful when the probability density function occurs in an expression to be used for further mathematical derivation or in programs for the skew normal distribution. Also, we propose approximate first moment second moment and variance to the skew normal distribution. A numerical comparison between exact and approximate values of pdf and cdf of the skew normal distribution is carried out. | Journal of Advanced Research 2010 1 341-350 Cairo University Journal of Advanced Research ORIGINAL ARTICLE Approximate skew normal distribution Samir K.

The term skew normal SN refers to a parametric class of probability distributions that extend the normal distribution by an additional shape parameter that regulates the skewness allowing for a .
