Abstract
We introduce the univariate two-piece sinh–arcsinh distribution, which contains two shape parameters that separately control skewness and kurtosis. We show that this new model can capture higher levels of asymmetry than the original sinh–arcsinh distribution [Biometrika 96 (2009) 761–780], in terms of some asymmetry measures, while keeping flexibility of the tails and tractability. We illustrate the performance of the proposed model with real data, and compare it to appropriate alternatives. Although we focus on the study of the univariate versions of the proposed distributions, we point out some multivariate extensions.
