Linear mixed models based on skew scale mixtures of normal distributions

2021 International Statistical Institute Mahalanobis Award: A Tribute to Heleno Bolfarine

“…In fact, both papers are the most cited papers of Professor Bolfarine according to Google Scholar. Further publications related to these topics include Lachos et al (2007) published in a special issue in skew distributions and more recently by Ferreira et al (2021), where the scale mixtures of skew-normal distribution were used to model the random terms. Inferential procedures and model evaluation tools related to the skew-normal linear mixed model and its extensions have been included in the R library skewlmm available at CRAN.…”
