The probability density function for the range of a sample from a population whose distribution can be represented by an Edgeworth series is developed. Moments of the range are obtained and the numerical values of the corrective functions arising due to nonnormality tabulated. Results for moments of the range of various nonnormal distributions are compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
