| Abstract: | In this paper, we develop a generalized version of the two-piece skew normal distribution of Kim On a class of two-piece skew-normal distributions, Statistics 39(6) (2005), pp. 537–553] and derive explicit expressions for its distribution function and characteristic function and discuss some of its important properties. Further estimation of the parameters of the generalized distribution is carried out. |
