Abstract: | Asymmetric distributions are widely used in probability modeling and statistical analysis. Recently, various asymmetric distributions are being developed by many researchers for modeling various data sets in real life contexts. In the present paper, we introduce a new class of q-type asymmetric distributions which include q-analogues of asymmetric Laplace, exponential power, Weibull etc. and corresponding standard distributions as special cases. Also we show that this pathway model can be obtained by optimizing Mathai’s generalized entropy with more general setup, which is a generalization of various entropy measures due to Shannon and others. |
