Abstract
We consider a new generalization of the skew-normal distribution introduced by Azzalini (1985). We denote this distribution Beta skew-normal (BSN) since it is a special case of the Beta generated distribution (Jones (2004)). Some properties of the BSN are studied. We pay attention to some generalizations of the skew-normal distribution (Bahrami et al. (2009), Shara and Behboodian (2008), Yadegari et al. (2008)) and to their relations with the BSN.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
