Characterizations of univariate continuous distributions (Q524246)

After 15 pages of introduction, the other five chapters of this book are as follows: Chapter 2 lists several continous distributions, and the other four chapters present characterizations of them. Among the used examples of distributions are: beta, Cauchy, chi-squared, exponential, gamma, Gumbel, Laplace, logistic, normal, Pareto, Students \(t\), and Weibull. The extensive reference list covers 26 pages, i.e. 20 per cent of the whole book. See also by the same author: [Extreme value distributions. Amsterdam: Atlantis Press (2016; Zbl 1359.60002)]. Publisher's description: This book provides in an organized manner characterizations of univariate probability distributions with many new results published in this area since the 1978 work of \textit{J. Galambos} and \textit{S. Kotz} [Characterizations of probability distributions. A unified approach with an emphasis on exponential and related models. Berlin-Heidelberg-New York: Springer (1978; Zbl 0381.62011)], together with applications of the theory in model fitting and predictions.
