Abstract: Tables are presented for parameters c,k of the Burr III and XII distribution, which cover a wide grid of skewness and kurtosis values. These enable distributions, whose first four moments are known, to be approximated. The form of the Burr HI and XII distribution functions allows p-values to be readily calculated. Applications include hypothesis testing, modelling and simulation studies in a range of disciplines.
