A Method for Simulating Burr Type III and Type XII Distributions through -Moments and -Correlations

Figure 3

Histograms of the ankle circumference data superimposed by (a) conventional moment- and (b) -moment-based Burr Type XII distributions. To superimpose the Burr Type XII distribution (dashed curves), the quantile function from (3) was transformed as (a) , and (b) , respectively, where , and , are the values of mean and standard deviation, whereas , and , are the values of -mean and -scale obtained from the actual data and the Burr Type XII distribution, respectively.
