Some results on multivariate measures of elliptical and skew-elliptical distributions: higher-order moments, skewness and kurtosis

Xueying Yu et al.

Summary: The kurtosis and skewness are important measures for shape characterization of distributions. While there have been many results for symmetric distributions, characterizing skew distributions still poses difficulties and challenges. Building on previous work on kurtosis measures for elliptical distributions by Zografos [1], we generalize the results and study measures for both elliptical and skew-elliptical distributions. We derive moment expressions for skew-elliptical distributions using those of skew-normal distributions, and provide examples using skew-t, skew-Pearson type VII, and skew-Pearson type II distributions.

An overview of skew distributions in model-based clustering

Sharon X. Lee et al.

Summary: The literature on non-normal model-based clustering has been expanding in recent years. These models often use a mixture of component densities to provide flexibility in distributional shapes and handle skewness. Skewing is typically achieved by introducing latent variables or considering marginal transformations of the original variables.
