Natural 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 کاملNonparametric Regression in Natural Exponential Families
Abstract: Theory and methodology for nonparametric regression have been particularly well developed in the case of additive homoscedastic Gaussian noise. Inspired by asymptotic equivalence theory, there have been ongoing efforts in recent years to construct explicit procedures that turn other function estimation problems into a standard nonparametric regression with Gaussian noise. Then in prin...
متن کاملBayesian approach to cubic natural exponential families
For a natural exponential family (NEF), one can associate in a natural way two standard families of conjugate priors, one on the natural parameter and the other on the mean parameter. These families of conjugate priors have been used to establish some remarkable properties and characterization results of the quadratic NEF’s. In the present paper, we show that for a NEF, we can associate a class...
متن کاملNatural 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...
