Exponential and Gamma Distributions on Positive Semigroups, with Applications to Dirichlet Distributions

In this paper, we give new characterizations of exponential distributions on positive semigroups and we study the corresponding gamma distributions that govern semigroup products of independent and ...

A new theoretical strategy for generating asymmetric distributions in probability and statistics

As is well known, the normal distribution is a key tool in probability and statistics. It can be described as a distribution that obeys a universal rule derived from one of the most important theorems ...
