APPROXIMATIONS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE SUM OF
RANDOM VARIABLES FROM THE GENERALIZED LOGISTIC
DISTRIBUTIONM. O. OjoDepartment of Mathematics, Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife Nigeria.Abstract. In this
paper, mixture approximations are proposed for the distribution
function of the sum of the generalized logistic random variables.
These approximations are quite comparable with the existing
t-approximation and are indeed simpler to evaluate. Moreover, an
added advantage of the new approximations is that statistical
tables may not be required for their implementation.
