A robust alternative to the normal distribution |
|
| Authors: | D. L. McLeish |
| Abstract: | A wider-tailed family of distributions is suggested as an alternative to the normal distribution having many of the desirable properties of the normal family. One advantage of this alternative is the greater robustness of maximum-likelihood estimates. |
