Statistical distributions are fundamental to Statistical Science and are a prime indispensable tool for its applications. This monograph is the first to examine an important but somewhat neglected field — univariate continuous distribution on a bounded domain, excluding the beta distribution. It provides an elementary but thorough discussion of “novel” contributions developed in recent years, such as the two-sided power, generalized trapezoidal and generalized Topp and Leone distributions, among others. It discusses a general framework for constructing two-sided distributions and some of its properties. It contains a comprehensive chapter on the triangular distribution as well as a chapter on earlier extensions not emphasized in existing literature. Special attention is given to estimation, in particular, non-standard maximum likelihood procedures. The applications are drawn mainly from the econometric and engineering domains.Refer to http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~dorpjr/tab4/publications_book.html for data files for the BEYOND BETA book and software programs for the maximum likelihood procedures.Contents:The Triangular DistributionSome Early Extensions of the Triangular DistributionThe Standard Two-Sided Power DistributionThe Two-Sided Power DistributionThe Generalized Trapezoidal DistributionUneven Two-Sided Power DistributionsThe Reflected Generalized Topp and Leone DistributionA Generalized Framework for Two-Sided DistributionsReadership: Students, lecturers, researchers and practitioners of statistical sciences.
