This book addresses a major problem in statistics that occurs througho ut the physical and social sciences concerning the fitting of a statis tical distribution to a set of data. Because of this situation many in vestigators have proposed various schemes to address this problem. How ever, this creates an even knottier problem due to the fact that in a specific application there may be 39 or more applicable distributions. In this new book the authors discuss the use of the Generalized Lambd a Distribution as well as the extended GLD which is an even more effec tive way of using the GLD to fit distributions to data. The book can b e used as a text on GLD's at the graduate level in statistics or by pr ofessionals working in statistics, engineering, the sciences and allie d fields.
