On characterizing the Pólya distribution

Héctor M. Ramos, David Almorza, Juan A. García-Ramos (2002)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper two characterizations of the Pólya distribution are obtained when its contagion parameter is negative. One of them is based on mixtures and the other one is obtained by characterizing a subfamily of the discrete Pearson system.

Conditional problem for objective probability

Otakar Kříž (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Marginal problem (see [Kel]) consists in finding a joint distribution whose marginals are equal to the given less-dimensional distributions. Let’s generalize the problem so that there are given not only less-dimensional distributions but also conditional probabilities. It is necessary to distinguish between objective (Kolmogorov) probability and subjective (de Finetti) approach ([Col,Sco]). In the latter, the coherence problem incorporates both probabilities and conditional probabilities...

Construction of multivariate distributions: a review of some recent results.

José María Sarabia, Emilio Gómez-Déniz (2008)

SORT

Similarity:

The construction of multivariate distributions is an active field of research in theoretical and applied statistics. In this paper some recent developments in this field are reviewed. Specifically, we study and review the following set of methods: (a) Construction of multivariate distributions based on order statistics, (b) Methods based on mixtures, (c) Conditionally specified distributions, (d) Multivariate skew distributions, (e) Distributions based on the method of the variables...
