For my contribution to this collection I have been tasked, first, with examining whether international courts and tribunals ‘challenge or reinforce the distribution of international justice' and, second, with exploring the extent to which international courts and tribunals have achieved ‘the...

While the Poisson distribution is a classical statistical model for count data, the distributional model hinges on the constraining property that its mean equal its variance. This text instead introduces the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution and motivates its use in developing flexible...

This paper explores the ability of some popular income distributions to model observed skewness and kurtosis. We present the generalized beta type 1 (GB1) and type 2 (GB2) distributions' skewness-kurtosis spaces and clarify and expand on previously known results on other distributions'...

This paper presents some properties and limitations of the Tukey's g and h family of distributions. It develops the density function when the parameters g and h are not constant, which is a major breakthrough considering the recurrence of this in the applications of the behaviour of...
