Nonlinear regression approach to estimating Johnson SB parameters for diameter data

A nonlinear regression approach is proposed to estimate the parameters of the Johnson S(B) distribution. This method was compared to five other methods; these were the four percentile points method, the Knoebel-Burkhart method, the linear regression method, the maximum likelihood (Newton-Raphson) me...
