A new family of skew slash logistic distributions

摘要

In this paper we present a new family of univariate slash distributions, which arises as the ratio of logistic distribution and independent uniform power function distribution. Slash logistic and skew Slash logistic distributions were derived and the properties were studied. Logistic and skew logistic distributions are special cases of this new family. These distributions provide us an alternative choices in simulation study and in particular, in fitting skewed data sets with heavy tails.
