Abstract:
We consider a generalization of the Azzalini skew–normal distribution. We denote this distribution by SNBn(λ). Some properties of SNBn(λ) are studied. Its moment generating function is derived, and the bivariate case of SNBn(λ) is introduced. Finally, we illustrate a numerical example and we present an application for order statistics.
