de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.math.statistics.distribution.SkewGeneralizedNormalDistribution

All Implemented Interfaces:

Distribution

public class SkewGeneralizedNormalDistribution
extends AbstractDistribution

Generalized Gaussian distribution by adding a skew term, similar to lognormal distributions. This is one kind of generalized normal distributions. Note that there are multiple that go by the name of a "Generalized Normal Distribution".
