Family of multivariate generalized t distributions

Hessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications

In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...

Multivariate extremes of generalized skew-normal distributions

We explore extremal properties of a family of skewed distributions extended from the multivariate normal distribution by introducing a skewing function π . We give sufficient conditions on the skewing function for the pairwise asymptotic independence to hold. We apply our results to a special case of the bivariate skew-normal distribution and finally support our conclusions by a simulation stud...

Multivariate t Distributions and Their Applications

Comparing Mean Vectors Via Generalized Inference in Multivariate Log-Normal Distributions

Abstract In this paper, we consider the problem of means in several multivariate log-normal distributions and propose a useful method called as generalized variable method. Simulation studies show that suggested method has a appropriate size and power regardless sample size. To evaluation this method, we compare this method with traditional MANOVA such that the actual sizes of the two methods ...

Characterizations of Certain Marshall-Olkin Generalized Distributions

Several characterizations of Marshall-Olkin generalized distributions, introduced by Gui (2013) and by Al-Saiari et al. (2014) are presented. These characterizations are based on: (i) a simple relationship between two truncated moments ; (ii) the hazard function.
