Another Generalization of Unimodality

Abstract

A general characterization for \alpha-unimodal distributions was provided by Alamatsaz (1985) who later introduced a multivariate extension of them (Alamatsaz 1993). Here, by solving the related equations, another generalization for unimodality is presented. As a result of this generalization, a simpler proof of a conjecture, as well as a characterization for generalized arcsin distributions and some generalizations of the author's earlier works, have been obtained. Last, but not the least, it is shown that some elementary methods can be more powerful than some more advanced techniques.
