On a probability function useful in size modelling
Muhammad Aslam Chaudhry, Munir Ahmad · Canadian Journal of Forest Research · 1993
A probability function has been derived as a solution to a generalized Pearson differential equation. Some statistical properties of the function are investigated. An interesting relationship between the present distribution and the inverse Gaussian distribution is stated. It is demonstrated that the function is more suitable than other probability densities in some applications of size models.
