Univariate and multivariate skewness and kurtosis for measuring nonnormality: Prevalence, influence and estimation.
Nonnormality of univariate data has been extensively examined previously (Blanca et al., Methodology: European Journal of Research Methods for the Behavioral and Social Sciences, 9(2), 78-84, 2013; Miceeri, Psychological Bulletin, 105(1), 156, 1989). However, less is known of the potential nonnormality of multivariate data although multivariate analysis is commonly used in psychological and edu...
متن کاملUnivariate Parametric Survival Analysis using GS-distributions
The GS-distribution is a family of distributions that provide an accurate representation of any unimodal univariate continuous distribution. In this contribution we explore the utility of this family as a general model in survival analysis. We show that the survival function based on the GS-distribution is able to provide a model for univariate survival data and that appropriate estimates can b...
متن کاملAsymptotic expansions of the null distributions of test statistics for multivariate linear hypothesis under nonnormality
This paper is concerned with the distributions of some test statistics for a multivariate linear hypothesis under nonnormality. The test statistics considered include the likelihood ratio statistic, the Lawley-Hotelling trace criterion and the BartlettNanda-Pillai trace criterion, under normality. We derive asymptotic expansions of the null distributions of these test statistics up to the order...
متن کاملFlexible Univariate Continuous Distributions
Based on a constructive representation, which distinguishes between a skewing mechanism P and an underlying symmetric distribution F , we introduce two flexible classes of distributions. They are generated by nonparametric modelling of either P or F . We examine properties of these distributions and consider how they can help us to identify which aspects of the data are badly captured by simple...
متن کاملUnivariate and Multivariate Merit Factors
Merit factor of a binary sequence is reviewed, and constructions are described that appear to satisfy an asymptotic merit factor of 6.3421 . . .Multivariate merit factor is characterised and recursive Boolean constructions are presented which satisfy a non-vanishing asymptote in multivariate merit factor. Clifford merit factor is characterised as a generalisation of multivariate merit factor an...
