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 & Steel. Up to now, it is an...

J.M. Keynes (1911) shows how distributions look like for which the arithmetic, the geometric and the harmonic mean are "most probable values". We propose a general class of distributions for which the quasi-arithmetic means are ML-estimators such that these distributions can be transformed into...

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...
