Generalized Lambda Distribution for Flexibly Testing Differences beyond the Mean in the Distribution of a Dependent Variable like Body Mass Index
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Conventional statistical methods often test for group differences in a single parameter of a distribution, usually the conditional mean (e.g., differences in mean body mass index [BMI; kg/m(2)] by education category) under specific distributional assumptions. However, paramete...
