Typical success-rate prediction models for tapping exclude targets near screen edges. However, design constraints often force such placements, and in scrollable user interfaces, any element can move close to the screen edges. In this work, we model how target-edge distance affects touch pointing accuracy. We propose the Skewed Dual Normal Distribution Model, which assumes the tap-coordinate distribution is skewed by a nearby edge. The results showed that as targets approached the edge, the distribution's peak shifted toward the edge, and its tail extended away. In contrast to prior reports, the success rate improved when the target touched the edge, suggesting a strategy of ``tapping the target together with the edge.'' Our model predicts success rates across a wide range of conditions, including edge-adjacent targets. Through three experiments of horizontal, vertical, and 2D pointing, we demonstrated the generalizability and utility of our proposed model.
