@ARTICLE{Behboodian, author = {Sharafi, Maryam and Behboodian, javad and }, title = { A New Skew-normal Density }, volume = {3}, number = {1}, abstract ={We present a new skew-normal distribution, denoted by NSN($lambada$). We first derive the density and moment generating function of NSN($lambada$). The properties of SN($lambada$), the known skew-normal distribution of Azzalini, and NSN($lambada$) are compared with each other. Finally, a numerical example for testing about the parameter $lambada$ in NSN($lambada$) is given. }, URL = {http://jsri.srtc.ac.ir/article-1-159-en.html}, eprint = {http://jsri.srtc.ac.ir/article-1-159-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Statistical Research of Iran}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.jsri.3.1.47}, year = {2006} }
