Information Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Burr III and Logistic Distributions
Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملOn empirical Bayes estimation of multivariate regression coefficient
We investigate the empirical Bayes estimation problem of multivariate regression coefficients under squared error loss function. In particular, we consider the regression model Y = Xβ+ ε, where Y is an m-vector of observations, X is a known m× k matrix, β is an unknown k-vector, and ε is anm-vector of unobservable random variables. The problem is squared error loss estimation of β based on some...
متن کاملCovariance Matrices for Mean Field Variational Bayes
With increasingly efficient data collection methods, scientists are interested in quickly analyzing ever larger data sets. In particular, the promise of these large data sets is not simply to fit old models but instead to learn more nuanced patterns from data than has been possible in the past. In theory, the Bayesian paradigm promises exactly these desiderata. Hierarchical modeling allows prac...
متن کاملInformation and Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Pareto (IV), Burr, and Related Distributions
Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrix for multivariate Pareto, Burr and related distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in reliability, actuarial science, economics, finance and telecommunications. We showed that all the calculations can be obtained from one main moment multidimensional integr...
