Characterization and statistical test using truncated expectations for a class of skew distributions. (English) Zbl 0584.62021

Math. Soc. Sci. 10, 169-178 (1985).
The expectation of left truncated Waring and Pareto distributions is a linear function of the point of truncation. Based on this property, a characterization theorem and statistical tests can be constructed.
