Reviews

"""The generalized lambda family of distributions is a very broad family of continuous univariate probability distributions. The authors have been at the forefront in investigating this distributionthey thoroughly explore the relationship of the generalized lambda family of distributions to many commonly used families of distributionsprovide a thorough exploration of the generalized lambda family of distributions and its use in the fitting of data. Practitioners who wish to fit data with a generalized lambda distribution will find this book useful. Numerous examples with actual datasets illustrate the utility of the techniquesIn summary, the authors have presented a complete exploration of the use of a particular family of distributions in fitting data."" - Thomas E. Wehrly, Texas A & M University, Technometrics, May 2002 ""In this outstanding treatise the GLD is explored in depth. The writing is clear and the mathematical analyses are easy to follow."" -Telegraphic Reviews ""This book is clearly written, and provides an excellent summary of what is currently known about the GLD, and indeed the authors have made major contributions to this body of knowledge in the last few years"" --M. S. Ridout, Biometrics, June 2001"
