With the current interest in copula methods, and fat-tailed or other non-normal distributions, it is appropriate to investigate technologies for managing marginal distributions of interest. We explore ...

A parametric family of distributions is a collection of distributions with a known form that is indexed by a set of quantities called parameters. Methods based on parametric distributions of normal, ...
