Symmetric and Asymmetric Distributions: Theoretical Developments and Applications

Abstract

In this Special Issue on symmetrical distributions, researchers are invited to contribute original research papers and case studies related to this topic. Submissions that extend the Azzalini's scheme or propose alternatives, both for univariate and multivariate, continuous and discrete distributions are welcome. Researchers are also invited to offer theoretical and applied proposals that have connection with this subject. Applications in the fields of economics (inflation forecasting, stochastic frontier models, insurance, etc.), environmental sciences (climate changes, for instance), biometrics, engineering (reliability, classification of satellite image, etc.), and others fields.
