Alternatives to Chebyshev's Inequality (309637)

Keywords: Dispersion

Chebyshev's Inequality is being used to find what is the least percentage of observations fall within the specified sigma limits of the distribution. However, most of the distributions the industry experience with are asymmetric ones for which standard deviation are not the proper measure of dispersion. I this paper a new form of Chebyshev's Inequality has been developed not based on sigma limits.
