This paper concerns a family of univariate distributions suggested by Topp & Leone in 1955. Topp & Leone provided no motivation for this new family and by way of properties they derived only the first four integer-order moments, i.e. E(Xn) for n=1, r 2, r 3, r 4 . In this paper we provide a...

It is shown that the total amount of income earned during a reference period can be expressed as the products of components of bivariate Pareto distributions. The exact distribution of the total amount of income P = XY and the corresponding moment properties are derived when (X, Y ) follows...

Various q-type distributions have appeared in the physics literature in the recent years, see e.g. L.C. Malacarne, R.S. Mendes, E. K. Lenzi, q-exponential distribution in urban agglomeration, Phys. Rev. E 65, (2002) 017106. S.M.D. Queiros, On a possible dynamical scenario leading to a...

Measurement error can impact estimator precision, obscure estimated relationships between variables, and distort the estimated intertemporal behavior of important economic characteristics. A commonly known model for measurement error assumes that measured income is the product of true income and...

The exact distribution of visiting rates does not appear to be widely known in the marketing literature. Here, analytical expressions are derived for the exact distribution, and their performance is compared with some known approximation. Some computer programs are provided for practical use.
