Two concepts of symmetry for the distributions of positive random variables $Y$ are log-symmetry (symmetry of the distribution of $\log Y$) and R-symmetry [7]. In this paper, we characterise the distributions that have both properties,…

To make inferences about the shape of a population distribution, the widely popular mean regression model, for example, is inadequate if the distribution is not approximately Gaussian (or symmetric). Compared to conventional mean regression…
