Abstract

The log-epsilon-skew-normal distributions family is generalized class of log-normal distribution. Is widely used to model non-negative data in many areas of applied research. We give necessary and/or sufficient conditions for some stochastic orders of log-epsilon-skew-normal distributions. Also, we give sufficient conditions for orders of moments and Gini indexes. Finally, it is presented a real data application.
