Measures of radial asymmetry for bivariate random vectors

Measures of radial asymmetry for bivariate random vectors

This article considers the problem of measuring radial asymmetry of a bivariate vector of continuous random variables whose components are symmetric about the center of symmetry. We introduce a set of axioms for measures of radial asymmetry, define new measures satisfying the axiomatic, study some p...

Zusammenfassung:This article considers the problem of measuring radial asymmetry of a bivariate vector of continuous random variables whose components are symmetric about the center of symmetry. We introduce a set of axioms for measures of radial asymmetry, define new measures satisfying the axiomatic, study some properties, and present corresponding results for sample statistics. Several examples illustrate our results.
