Asymmetrical Frequency Curves
TLDR
In this article, a generalized form of the probability curve which fits with a great degree of accuracy such curves, and propose to discuss it at length shortly, has been obtained, although not with the completeness of the referred to continuous curve.Abstract:
SOME six years ago (September 1, 1887) Dr. Venn wrote to you pointing out the asymmetrical character of certain frequency curves occurring in physical and biological measurements. I have recently obtained a generalized form of the probability curve which fits with a great degree of accuracy such curves, and propose to discuss it at length shortly. Meanwhile I wish to point out that an asymmetrical point binomial may be readily fitted to such curves, although not with the completeness of the above referred to continuous curve. Let n be the number of events in a group, p the probability for single event, and q that against it; let c be the horizontal space selected as the basis of each rectangle forming the point binomial, and let a be the total area. Then we have the following diagram given by the point system:read more

Survey of developments in the theory of continuous skewed distributions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace developments in the theory of skewed continuous distributions (univariate and multivariate) which commenced in the late 19 th century and after some dormant period during the most of the 20 th century, were invigorated in the middle 80's of 20th century and has become in the last 20 years an

A History of Regression and Related Model-Fitting in the Earth Sciences (1636?-2000)
TL;DR: Technical advances in regression analysis during the 1970s embraced the development of regression diagnostics and consequent attention to outliers; the recognition of problems caused by correlated predictors, and the subsequent introduction of ridge regression to overcome them; and techniques for fitting errors-in-variables and mixture models.

Learning Implicit Generative Models with the Method of Learned Moments
TL;DR: This paper proposed a method of moments (MoM) algorithm for training large-scale implicit generative models, which defines the moments as the hidden units and the gradient of the network's output with respect to its parameters.
