Bucket plot: A visual tool for skewness and kurtosis comparisons
This study introduces the bucket plot, a visual tool to detect skewness and kurtosis in a continuously distributed random variable. The plot can be applied to both moment and centile skewness and kurtosis. The bucket plot is used to detect skewness and kurtosis either in a response variable, or in the residuals from a fitted model as a diagnostic tool by which to assess the adequacy of a fitted distribution to the response variable regarding skewness and kurtosis. We demonstrate the bucket plot in nine simulated skewness and kurtosis scenarios, and the usefulness of the plot is shown in a real-data situation.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics aims to publish high quality research papers in applied probability, applied statistics, computational statistics, mathematical statistics, probability theory and stochastic processes.
More specifically, the following types of contributions will be considered:
(i) Original articles dealing with methodological developments, comparison of competing techniques or their computational aspects.
(ii) Original articles developing theoretical results.
(iii) Articles that contain novel applications of existing methodologies to practical problems. For these papers the focus is in the importance and originality of the applied problem, as well as, applications of the best available methodologies to solve it.
(iv) Survey articles containing a thorough coverage of topics of broad interest to probability and statistics. The journal will occasionally publish book reviews, invited papers and essays on the teaching of statistics.
