Abstract

The estimation of parameters is a challenge issue for skew normal family. Based on inferential models, the plausibility regions for two parameters of skew normal family are investigated in two cases, when either the scale parameter \(\sigma \) or the shape parameter \(\delta \) is known. For illustration of our results, simulation studies are proceeded.
