An Asymmetric Distribution with Heavy Tails and Its Expectation–Maximization (EM) Algorithm Implementation

In this paper we introduce a new distribution constructed on the basis of the quotient of two independent random variables whose distributions are the half-normal distribution and a power of the exponential distribution with parameter 2 respectively. The result is a distribution with greater kurtosi...
