However, the likelihood ratio test is sometimes intractable such as the skew-normal distribution because of the irregular likelihood behavior. In this paper, we investigate the testing problem concerning the skew parameter based on Bayes factor, which is just the ratio of the integrals of the ...
Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the data around the sample mean. If skewness is negative, the data spreads out more to the left of the mean than to the right. If skewness is positive, the data spreads out more to the right. The skewness of thenormal distribution(or any perfe...

The skew-normal distribution presents itself as a natural candidate for modelling conditional heteroskedasticity in financial time series since it generalises the normal distribution as a special case and departures from normality are skewed and leptokurtic. Conditional heteroskesdacity models are presented ...
In probability theory and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. For example, the normal distribution is a symmetrical distribution where the three measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) are...

Some distributions of data, such as thebell curveornormal distribution, are symmetric. This means that the right and the left of the distribution are perfect mirror images of one another. Not every distribution of data is symmetric. Sets of data that are not symmetric are said to be asymmetri...
In the GARCH framework, it is typically assumed that returns are drawn from a symmetric conditional distribution such as the normal, Student-t or power exponential. However, the use of a symmetric distribution is inappropriate if the true conditional distribution of returns is skewed. This study ...
Zero skew merely indicates a balance or, in other words, an absence of skewness. A normal distribution is a distribution that fits a particular bell-shaped curve and has the following characteristics: It can be described by two parameters: mean and variance. Its mean and median values are...
A normal distribution is a bell curve with a perfect symmetric shape. If the curve becomes asymmetric or extends toward the right or left, it is called a skewed bell curve. What is skewness? Skewness in statistics represents an imbalance of a normal distribution. This means that the data set...
