Abstract:Any empirical data can be approximated to one of Pearson distributions using the first four moments of the data (Elderton and Johnson, 1969;Pearson, 1895;Solomon and Stephens, 1978). Thus, Pearson distributions made statistical analysis possible for data with unknown distributions. There are both extant old-fashioned in-print tables (Pearson and Hartley, 1972) and contemporary computer programs (Amos and Daniel, 1971;Bouver and Bargmann, 1974;Bowman and Shenton, 1979;Davis and Stephens, 1983;Pan, 2009) availab… Show more
