Distributions and Composite Models for Size-Type Data

Corinne Sinner and Yves Dominicy

A chapter in Advances in Statistical Methodologies and Their Application to Real Problems from IntechOpen

Abstract: In the first part of this chapter, we present a sample of the best known and most used classical size distributions with their main statistical properties. In the second part, we introduce the concept of composite models and based on the size distributions of the first part, we describe those which already exist in the literature. In the last part of this chapter, we apply the described statistical size distributions and some of the composite models to two real data examples and compare their goodness-of-fit.
