Description Readers' comments

A new three-parameter density function f ðx : ; ; Þ for non-negative variables, obtained as a mixture of ‘‘Polisicchio’s truncated Pareto distributions’’, is proposed. The expectation of f ðx : ; ; Þ is equal to the parameter > 0. The new density has positive asymmetry and Paretian right tail. The variance is equal to 2 3 ð þ 1Þ ½2 þ ð 1Þ . The moments, the upper and lower truncated moments (with truncation at x ¼ ), are compact expressions of beta functions. Keywords: Income Distribution, Positive Asymmetry, Paretian Tail, Mixture Density, Beta Weights
