Abstract:
We present a new skew-normal distribution, denoted by NSN(λ). We first derive the density and moment generating function of NSN(λ). The properties of SN(λ), the known skew-normal distribution of Azzalini, and NSN(λ) are compared with each other. Finally, a numerical example for testing about the parameter in NSN(λ) is given.
