Statistics of Particle Size Data
本文识别了颗粒大小测量与分析中的多种统计问题，提出对数偏斜拉普拉斯分布作为简单有效的模型，并与对数正态和对数双曲分布对比，分析赫布里底群岛沙粒数据。
SUMMARY This paper identifies various statistical problems in the measurement and analysis of particle sizes. The log-skew-Laplace distribution is proposed as a simple but effective model for particle sizes which can be readily extended to handle more complex situations such as mixtures and the marrying of measurements of different aspects of size. The model is compared with other contenders, the lognormal and log-hyperbolic distributions, in the analysis of sand grain data from the Hebrides.
