      abstract = {Restrictions on the hyperbolic trigonometric (HT)  transformation are imposed to guarantee that a probability  density function is obtained from the maximum likelihood  estimation.  Performance of the restricted HT  transformation using data generated from normal, beta,  gamma, logistic, log-normal, Pareto, Weibull, order  statistic, and bimodal populations is investigated via  sampling experiments.  Results suggest that the restricted  HT transformaltion is sufficiently flexible to compete with  the actual population distributions in most cases.   Application of the restricted HT transformation is  illustrated by characterizing uncertain net income per acre  for community-supported agriculture farms in the  northeastern United States.},
