Mixture of Normal Mean-Variance of Lindley Distributions
‎Abstract: In this paper, a new mixture modelling using the normal mean-variance mixture of Lindley (NMVL) distribution has been considered. The proposed model is heavy-tailed and multimodal and can be used in dealing with asymmetric data in various theoretic and applied problems. We present a feasible computationally analytical EM algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood estimates. T...
متن کاملInferences on Correlation Coefficients of Bivariate Log-normal Distributions
This article considers inference on correlation coefficients of bivariate log-normal distributions. We developed generalized confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for the correlation coefficient, and extended the results for comparing two independent correlations. Simulation studies show that the suggested methods work well even for small samples. The methods are illustrated using two pract...
متن کاملWhy are Normal Distributions Normal?
We seem to be surrounded by bell curves—curves more formally known as normal distributions, or Gaussian distributions. All manner of things appear to be distributed normally: people’s heights, sizes of snowflakes, errors in measurements, lifetimes of lightbulbs, IQ scores, weights of loaves of bread, and so on. I argue that the standard explanation for why such quantities are normally distribut...
متن کاملGrowth mixture modeling with non-normal distributions.
A limiting feature of previous work on growth mixture modeling is the assumption of normally distributed variables within each latent class. With strongly non-normal outcomes, this means that several latent classes are required to capture the observed variable distributions. Being able to relax the assumption of within-class normality has the advantage that a non-normal observed distribution do...
