Abstract: In this paper, we develop a matching prior for the common mean in several log-normal distributions. For this problem, assigning priors appropriately for the common log-normal mean is challenging owing to the presence of nuisance… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT In this work, first some distributional properties of extended two-piece skew normal distributions are presented. Next we revisit the special case, that is two-piece skew normal distributions. Then two distributions related to two-piece skew… read more here.

Abstract: It is commonly encountered in many fields to detect whether a change occurs on a population after a special process. Based on observations for describing the population before and after the process, we formulate this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0280351
Abstract: The log-normal distribution, often used to model animal abundance and its uncertainty, is central to ecological modeling and conservation but its statistical properties are less intuitive than those of the normal distribution. The right skew… read more here.
