MM Algorithms for Some Discrete Multivariate Distributions.
The MM (minorization-maximization) principle is a versatile tool for constructing optimization algorithms. Every EM algorithm is an MM algorithm but not vice versa. This article derives MM algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation with discrete multivariate distributions such as the Dirichlet-multinomial and Connor-Mosimann distributions, the Neerchal-Morel distribution, the negative-multino...
متن کاملOn strong unimodality of multivariate discrete distributions
A discrete function f defined on Zn is said to be logconcave if f(λx+(1− λ)y) ≥ [f(x)]λ[f(y)]1−λ for x, y, λx + (1− λ)y ∈ Zn. A more restrictive notion is strong unimodality. Following Barndorff-Nielsen (1973) a discrete function p(z), z ∈ Zn is called strongly unimodal if there exists a convex function f(x), x ∈ Rn such that f(x) = − log p(x), if x ∈ Zn. In this paper sufficient conditions are...
متن کاملEstimating Multivariate Discrete Distributions Using Bernstein Copulas
Measuring the dependence between random variables is one of the most fundamental problems in statistics, and therefore, determining the joint distribution of the relevant variables is crucial. Copulas have recently become an important tool for properly inferring the joint distribution of the variables of interest. Although many studies have addressed the case of continuous variables, few studie...
متن کاملEntropic Graph Embedding via Multivariate Degree Distributions
Although there are many existing alternative methods for using structural characterizations of undirected graphs for embedding, clustering and classification problems, there is relatively little literature aimed at dealing with such problems for directed graphs. In this paper we present a novel method for characterizing graph structure that can be used to embed directed graphs into a feature sp...
متن کاملComparing 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 ...
