Abstract

Several papers on distributions to model rates and proportions have been recently published; their fitting in numerous instances is better than the alternative beta distribution, which has been the distribution to follow when it is necessary to quantify the average of a response variable based on a set of covariates. Despite the great usefulness of this distribution to fit the responses on the ( 0 , 1 ) unit interval, its relevance loses objectivity when the interest is quantifying the influence of these covariates on the quantiles of the variable response in ( 0 , 1 ) ; being the most critical situation when the distribution presents high asymmetry and/or kurtosis. The main objective of this work is to introduce a distribution for modeling rates and proportions. The introduced distribution is obtained from the alpha-power extension of the skew–normal distribution, which is known in the literature as the power–skew–normal distribution.
