Generalized lambda distribution for flexibly testing differences beyond the mean in the distribution of a dependent variable such as body mass index

Conventional statistical methods often test for group differences in a single parameter of a distribution, usually the conditional mean (for example, differences in mean body mass index (BMI; kg m −2) ...
