Increasing interdependence of multivariate distributions
In many economic contexts, it is of interest to know whether one set of random variables displays a greater degree of interdependence than another. Orderings of interdependence are useful in the assessment of ex post inequality under uncertainty; in comparisons of multidimensional inequality; in assessments of the degree of conformity of behavior in social learning situations; in comparisons of...
متن کاملIncreasing Interdependence in Multivariate Distributions
This paper compares n-dimensional random vectors in terms of their interdependence. We adopt the stochastic dominance approach, relating orderings of interdependence expressed directly in terms of joint probability distributions to orderings expressed indirectly through properties of objective functions whose expectations are used to evaluate distributions. Since the expected values of additive...
متن کاملConcentration Inequalities for Multivariate Distributions: I. Multivariate Norivial Distributions
Let X rv Np(O, E), the p-variate normal distribution with mean °and positive definite covariance matrix .E. Anderson (1955) showed that if .E2 .E1 is positive semidefinite then PEl (C) 2: P E2(C) for every centrally symmetric (-C = convex set C ~ RP. Fefferman, Jodeit, and Perlman (1972) extended this result to elliptically contoured distributions. In the present paper similar multivariate f f"...
متن کاملMultivariate matrix-exponential distributions
In this extended abstract we define a class of distributions which we shall refer to as multivariate matrix–exponential distributions (MVME). They are defined in a natural way, inspired by the definition of univariate matrix– exponential distributions, as the distributions on R+ having a rational (multidimensional) Laplace transform. A multidimensional rational function is the fraction between ...
متن کاملRandom Multivariate Multimodal Distributions
Bayesian nonparametric inference for unimodal and multimodal random probability measures on a finite dimensional Euclidean space is examined. After a short discussion on several concepts of multivatiate unimodality, we introduce and study a new class of nonparametric prior distributions on the subspace of random multivariate multimodal distributions. This class in a way generalizes the very res...
