A geometric random variable with parameter p will be denoted by GE(p), and it has the probability mass function (PMF); p(1 ? p)n?1, for n = 1,2, Now we
Another characterization based on the quadratic statistics X 2 and (X + a) 2 for some constant a r 0 will be given In Section 3, the decomposition of a larger
Some key words: Bivariate distribution; Multivariate normal distribution; conditioning mechanism can be used to obtain the skew-normal distribution as a
Note that even in potential normal situations there is some possibility of hav- ing disturbances in the data, and the skew-normal family of distributions can
