There are several possibilities to introduce skewness into a symmetric distribution. One of these procedures applies two dfferent parameters of scale - with possibly different weights - to the positive and the negative part of a symmetric density. Within this work we show that this technique...

There are several procedures to construct a skewed distribution. One of these procedures splits the value of a parameter of scale for the two halfs of a symmetric distribution. Fechner proposed this procedure in his famous book Kollektivmaßlehre (1897), p. 295ff.. A similar proposal comes from...

There are several procedures to construct a skewed distribution. One of these procedures is based on a symmetric distribution that will be distorted by a skewed distribution defined on (0; 1). This proposal stems from Arellano-Valle et al. and was refined by Ferreira and Steel. Up to now, it is...
