Sommario/riassunto

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
