Statistics & Probability Letters, 2015, vol. 104, issue C, 75-81

Abstract: We propose a new generalization of the skew-normal distribution (Azzalini, 1985) referred to as the Kumaraswamy skew-normal. The new distribution is computationally more tractable than the Beta skew-normal distribution (Mameli and Musio, 2013) with which it shares some properties.
