The T-R {Generalized Lambda V} Families of Distributions
Journal Title: Current Trends on Biostatistics & Biometrics - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The four-parameter generalized lambda distribution (GLD) was proposed in [1]. We say the GLD is of type V, if the quantile function corresponds to Case(v) in of [2], that is, where u 2 (0, 1) and a, b 2 (−1, 0). In this short note, we introduce the T-R {Generalized Lambda V} Families of Distributions and show a sub-model of this class of distributions is significant in modeling real life data, in particular the Wheaton river data, [2]. We conjecture the new class of distributions can be used to fit biological and health data.

P Value and Statistical Significance
The practice of reporting P-values is commonplace in applied research. Presenting the result of a test only as the rejection or acceptance of the null hypothesis at a certain level of significance, does not make full use...
