HYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.

An Accept-Reject Algorithm For the Positive Multivariate Normal Distribution

The need to simulate from a positive multivariate normal distribution arises in several settings, specifically in Bayesian analysis. A variety of algorithms can be used to sample from this distribution, but most of these algorithms involve Gibbs sampling. Since the sample is generated from a Markov chain, the user has to account for the fact that sequential draws in the sample depend on one ano...
