A substantial part of examining the properties of a distributional family consists of considering shape properties. It is important that this examination is sufficiently thorough to enable understanding of the behaviour of the family, its comparison with others, and to assist in developing future families. The g-and-h distributions and the Johnson system are examined here in these terms |
