Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a generalized skew logistic distribution that contains the usual skew logistic distribution as a special case. Several mathematical properties of the distribution are discussed like the cumulative distribution function and moments. Furthermore, estimation using the method of maximum likelihood and the Fisher information matrix are investigated. Two real data applications illustrate the performance of the distribution.
