Abstract

In this article the alpha skew version of truncated Cauchy distribution using the methodology of Elal-Olivero (Alpha–skew–normal distribution. Proyecciones Journal of Mathematics. 29: 224-240, 2010) has been derived. The important distributional properties have been investigated. An application of the distribution in modeling exchange rate data from the field of finance has been presented.
