Abstract
In this article, we introduce a skewed version of the sinh-normal distribution and discuss some of its properties. In addition, we characterize an extension of the Birnbaum-Saunders model associated with this distribution from a probabilistic viewpoint along with a lifetime analysis based on its hazard rate. Finally, one of the proposed models is applied to air pollution data in order to illustrate its usefulness.
