Many of these theoretical and applied statistical works are related to distributions that try to break the symmetry of the normal distribution and other similar symmetric models, mainly using Azzalini's scheme. This strategy uses a symmetric distribution as a baseline case, then an extra parameter is added to the parent model to control the skewness of the new family of probability distributions. The most widespread and popular model is the one based on the normal distribution that produces the skewed normal distribution. In this Special Issue on symmetric and asymmetric distributions, works related to this topic are presented, as well as theoretical and applied proposals that have connections with and implications for this topic. Immediate applications of this line of work include different scenarios such as economics, environmental sciences, biometrics, engineering, health, etc. This Special Issue comprises nine works that follow this methodology derived using a simple process while retaining the rigor that the subject deserves. Readers of this Issue will surely find future lines of work that will enable them to achieve fruitful research results.Symmetric and Asymmetric Distributions HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscasymmetric bimodal distributionbimodalbimodalitybivariate densitiesEM algorithmEpsilon-skew-CauchyEpsilon-skew-NormalFisher information matrixfitting distributionsflexible skew-normal distributiongeneralized Cauchy distributionshalf-normal distributionidentifiabilitykurtosislikelihoodmaximum likelihoodmaximum likelihood estimatesmaximum likelihood estimationmomentsnormal distributionorderingpositive and negative skewnesspower-normal distributionprobabilistic distribution classskew Birnbaum-Saunders distributionskewness coefficientslashed half-normal distributiontruncationtype I and II censoringWeibull censored dataHumanitiesSocial interactionGómez Déniz Emilioedt1310957Gómez Déniz EmilioothBOOK9910557299303321Symmetric and Asymmetric Distributions3029951UNINA03532nam 2200853z- 450 991067109970332120220812(CKB)5600000000483063(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/91124(oapen)doab91124(EXLCZ)99560000000048306320202208d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTrends in Ornamental Plant ProductionBaselMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (116 p.)3-0365-4685-5 3-0365-4686-3 The available range of ornamental plants (cut flowers, potted plants, perennials, bulbous, woody ornamental plants) is constantly being supplemented with new species and cultivars; thus, new methods for their production are required. The sustainable development of the floriculture industry requires modern and environmentally friendly solutions that can maximize the plant's potential. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt flower production methods to actual conditions and take into account the energy transformation and biological, technical, and organizational advances. This Special Issue is a collection of seven well-written research works covering the current state-of-the-art of ornamental crop production. The main body of the Special Issue gives an interesting coverage of new strategies that can be utilized for plant reproduction, regulating their growth and flowering, adapting production technologies to fit the concept of sustainable development, and optimizing supply chain management. This Special Issue will provide a good reference source for growers, research scientists, and advanced undergraduate students.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicssc1-Naphthylacetic acidabscissionAHPantioxidant activitybiostimulantsbulb coatingcape primrosechrysanthemumsCO2 footprintcompostDPPHeco-dormancyenvironmental impactfloricultural sectorfloricultureflowering pot plantgerberasGesneriaceaehydroponicslife cycle impact assessment (LCIA)metabolitesn/aoxalic acidphyllomorphyplant enhancementplant growth regulatorsplant protectionpolysaccharidespropagationreducing power abilityroot zone heatingrootingrosessalicylic acidSCORshrubsstimulantsStreptocarpus formosussupply chain performancesustainabilitysustainable greenhouse productionBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalSalachna Piotredt1335810Salachna PiotrothBOOK9910671099703321Trends in Ornamental Plant Production3050810UNINA
