On Testing the Dimensionality of Regression Coefficients.
Shanbhag (1972, 1979) showed that the diagonality of the Bhattacharyya matrix characterizes the set of normal, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, gamma or Meixner hypergeometric distributions. In this note, using Shanbhag's techniques, we show that if a certain generalized version of the Bhattacharyya matrix is diagonal, then the bivariate distribution is either normal, Poisson, binomial, negative binomial, gamma or Meixner hypergeometric. Bartoszewicz (1980) extended the result of Blight and...
This paper deals with the exact distribution of L1(vc) of Votaw. The results are given in terms of Meijer's G-function as well as in series form suitable for computation of percentage points.
The target of this paper is to provide a critical review and to enlarge the theory related to the Generalized Normal Distributions (GND). This three term (position, scale shape) distribution is based in a strong theoretical background due to Logarithm Sobolev Inequalities. Moreover, the GND is the appropriate one to support the Generalized entropy type Fisher's information measure.
The article establishes relationships between the matrix derivatives of F with respect to X as introduced by von Rosen (1988), Kollo and von Rosen (2000) and the Magnus-Neudecker (1999) matrix derivative. The usual transformations apply and the Moore-Penrose inverse of the duplication matrix is used. Both X and F have the same dimension.
We introduce four families of semilinear copulas (i.e. copulas that are linear in at least one coordinate of any point of the unit square) of which the diagonal and opposite diagonal sections are given functions. For each of these families, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which given diagonal and opposite diagonal functions can be the diagonal and opposite diagonal sections of a semilinear copula belonging to that family. We focus particular attention on the family of orbital...
Robust estimation presented in the following paper is based on Fisher consistent and Fréchet differentiable statistical functionals. The method has been used in the multivariate normal model with variance components [5]. To transfer the method to estimate vector of expectations and positive definite covariance matrix of the multivariate normal model it is required to express the covariance matrix as a linear combination of basic elements of the vector space of real, square and symmetric matrices....
