The Jarque-Bera's fitting test for normality is a celebrated and powerful one. In this paper, we consider general Jarque-Bera tests for any distribution function df having at least 4k finite moments for k greater than 2. The tests use as…
In this paper we have introduced a generalized version of alpha beta skew normal distribution in the same line of Sharafi et al. (2017) and investigated some of its basic properties. The extensions of the proposed distribution have also…
The assumption of normality has underlain much of the development of statistics, including spatial statistics, and many tests have been proposed. In this work, we focus on the multivariate setting and first review the recent advances in…
For clinical studies with continuous outcomes, when the data are potentially skewed, researchers may choose to report the whole or part of the five-number summary (the sample median, the first and third quartiles, and the minimum and…
This paper investigates the distribution of marks obtained by students across multiple courses to explore whether the data conforms to a skew-normal distribution. Traditional methods for assessing normality, such as the Shapiro Wilk test,…
We propose a new skewness test statistic for normality based on the Pearson measure of skewness. We obtain asymptotic first four moments of the null distribution for this statistic by using a computer algebra system and its normalizing…
It is well known that the finite-sample null distribution of the Jarque-Bera Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test for normality and its adjusted version (ALM) introduced by Urzua differ considerably from their asymptotic chi^2(2) limit. Here, we…
Azzalini (1985) introduced a skew-normal distribution of which normal distribution is a special case. Recently Kundu (2014) introduced a geometric skew-normal distribution and showed that it has certain advantages over Azzalini's…
There are three classical divergence measures exist in the literature on information theory and statistics. These are namely, Jeffryes-Kullback-Leiber J-divergence. Sibson-Burbea-Rao Jensen-Shannon divegernce and Taneja Arithmetic-Geometric…
With the advent of so-called default Bayesian hypothesis tests, scientists in applied fields have gained access to a powerful and principled method for testing hypotheses. However, such default tests usually come with a compromise,…
In this paper the testing of normality for unconditionally heteroscedastic macroeconomic time series is studied. It is underlined that the classical Jarque-Bera test (JB hereafter) for normality is inadequate in our framework. On the other…
Skewed generalizations of the normal distribution have been a topic of great interest in the statistics community due to their diverse applications across several domains. One of the most popular skew normal distributions, due to its…
Statistical laws describe regular patterns observed in diverse scientific domains, ranging from the magnitude of earthquakes (Gutenberg-Richter law) and metabolic rates in organisms (Kleiber's law), to the frequency distribution of words in…
Real-world datasets often exhibit imbalanced data distribution, where certain class levels are severely underrepresented. In such cases, traditional pattern classifiers have shown a bias towards the majority class, impeding accurate…
We use a system of first-order partial differential equations that characterize the moment generating function of the $d$-variate standard normal distribution to construct a class of affine invariant tests for normality in any dimension. We…
The aim of this article is to introduce a new family of distributions, which generalizes the skew normal distribution (SN). This new family, called Beta skew-normal (BSN), arises naturally when we consider the distributions of order…
Testing for normality is a widely used procedure in statistics and data analysis, often applied prior to employing methods that rely on the assumption of normally distributed data. While several existing tests target distributional…
The $\beta$-generalized quasi-geostrophic equation is studied in the range of $\alpha \in (0, 1), \beta \in (1/2, 1), 1/2 < \alpha + \beta < 3/2$. When $\alpha \in (1/2, 1), \beta \in (1/2, 1)$ such that $1 \leq \alpha + \beta < 3/2$, using…
The new field of adaptive data analysis seeks to provide algorithms and provable guarantees for models of machine learning that allow researchers to reuse their data, which normally falls outside of the usual statistical paradigm of static…
Normality is the most often mathematical supposition used in data modeling. Nonetheless, even based on the law of large numbers (LLN), normality is a strong presumption given that the presence of asymmetry and multi-modality in real-world…
