Natural Exponential Families and Generalized Hypergeometric Measures
Let ν be a positive Borel measure on R and pFq(a1, . . . , ap; b1, . . . , bq; s) be a generalized hypergeometric series. We define a generalized hypergeometric measure, μp,q := pFq(a1, . . . , ap; b1, . . . , bq; ν), as a series of convolution powers of the measure ν, and we investigate classes of probability distributions which are expressible as such a measure. We show that the Kemp family o...
متن کاملNatural Exponential Families with Polynomial Variance Function and Umbral Calculus
In this paper we use the Umbral Calculus to investigate the relation between natural exponential families and Sheeer polynomials. We give a new proof for the classiication of univariate natural exponential families with quadratic variance function. We also show how our methods apply to natural exponential families with variance function of any order and to multivariate natural exponential famil...
متن کاملConjugate Priors for Exponential Families Having Cubic Variance Functions
In this paper, we give three equivalent properties of the class of multivariate simple cubic natural exponential families (NEF’s). The first property says that the cumulant function of any basis of the family is a solution of some Monge-Ampère equation, the second is that the variance function satisfies a differential equation, and the third is characterized by the equality between two families...
متن کاملRI: Small: Collaborative Research: Probabilistic Models using Generalized Exponential Families
Minimizing convex loss functions is the holy grail of Machine Learning. A plethora of models based on this paradigm have been proposed over the past several decades. A fundamental problem with all such models is that they are not robust to outliers. In contrast, we explore the consequences of building probabilistic models with a parametric family of distributions that have been proposed in stat...
متن کاملGeneralized maximum likelihood estimates for infinite dimensional exponential families
The notion of generalized maximum likelihood estimate for finite dimensional canonically convex exponential families, studied in detail in previous works of the authors, is extended to an infinite dimensional setting. Existence of the estimate when a generalized log-likelihood function is bounded above, and a continuity property are established. Related literature and examples are discussed. MS...
