Abstract: | This paper concerns a two-parameter two-sided power distribution introduced by van Dorp and Kotz on the interval [0,1]. We introduce a reformulated two-sided power distribution (with the same number of parameters) and provide evidence to prove that it is more flexible than the one suggested by van Dorp and Kotz. We derive various properties of the new distribution as well as provide several hitherto unknown properties of the distribution due to van Dorp and Kotz. We also discuss estimation by the method of moments and the method of maximum likelihood.Received September 2003 |
