Handbook of Fitting Statistical Distributions with R

Strengthened by examples taken from the scientific literature, this handbook provides statisticians and researchers across the physical and social sciences with cutting-edge methods for fitting continuous probability distributions. It presents families with wide-ranging applicability, including Johnson's system, kappa distribution, and generalized lambda distribution. By providing the necessary R programs, the book enables practitioners to implement the techniques using R computer code. To cover distribution method combinations not included in the book's extensive tables, the authors delve int
