Throughout the physical and social sciences, investigators face a common major problem: fitting a statistical distribution to a set of data. Researchers have proposed various schemes to address this issue, resulting in an even more intractable problem: for a specific application, there may be 39 or more applicable distributions. In Fitting Statistical Distributions, the authors present in-depth discussions of the Generalized Lambda Distribution (GLD) - a flexible, four-parameter family of probability distributions - and the Extended GLD (EGLD), which provides an even more effective way of using the GLD.
