terrà un seminario dal titolo:

The Sinh-arcsinh Transformation and Distributions Arising from It.

Abstract

My talk will begin with a description of the `sinh-arcsinh'
transformation, which will then be used to define the sinh-arcsinh family
of distributions. The four-parameter location-scale extension of this
family contains symmetric as well as asymmetric members and allows for
tailweights that are heavier or lighter than those of the transformed
generating distribution. When the generating distribution is standard
normal, the `normal sinh-arcsinh' (NSAS) class of distributions is
obtained.  As will be shown, the NSAS class is highly tractable and has
many appealing properties. Likelihood based inference for it will also be
considered and applied in the analysis of real data. Finally, the options
used within the sinh-arcsinh formulation, as well as its extension, will
be discussed.



Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
