Azzalini (Scand J Stat 12:171–178, <CitationRef CitationID="CR3">1985</CitationRef>) provided a methodology to introduce skewness in a normal distribution. Using the same method of Azzalini (<CitationRef CitationID="CR3">1985</CitationRef>), the skew logistic distribution can be easily obtained by introducing skewness to the logistic distribution. For the skew logistic...</citationref></citationref>

We show that the correlation between the estimates of two parameters is almost unchanged if they are each transformed in an arbitrary way. To be more specific, the correlation of two estimates is invariant (except for a possible sign change) up to a first order approximation, to smooth...

A review is given of the exponentiated Weibull distribution, the first generalization of the two-parameter Weibull distribution to accommodate nonmonotone hazard rates. The properties reviewed include: moments, order statistics, characterizations, generalizations and related distributions,...

A family of confidence bands (simultaneous confidence regions) is given for EY=<Emphasis Type="Bold">x′<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">β that are piecewise-linear in <Emphasis Type="Bold">x.
