Ordered Random Variables from Discontinuous Distributions
In the absolutely continuous case, order statistics, record values and several other models of ordered random variables can be viewed as special cases of generalized order statistics, which enables a unified treatment of their theory. This paper deals with discontinuous generalized order statistics, continuing on the recent work of Tran (2006). Specifically, we show that in general neither re...
متن کاملA method for efficiently sampling from distributions with correlated dimensions.
Bayesian estimation has played a pivotal role in the understanding of individual differences. However, for many models in psychology, Bayesian estimation of model parameters can be difficult. One reason for this difficulty is that conventional sampling algorithms, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), can be inefficient and impractical when little is known about the target distribution--part...
متن کاملA Fast Method for sampling from Laplacian Type Distributions
This paper deals with the problem of generating samples from a commonly used form of Laplacian distribution. The algorithm was developed particularly for use in generating samples from priors which deene models for images. It is shown that by ranking the independent variables in the distribution, an analytic expression for the Cumulative Density function can be derived. This can be used to gene...
متن کاملPerfectly random sampling of truncated multinormal distributions
A “coupling from the past” construction of the Gibbs sampler process is used to perfectly simulate a random vector in a box B, a Cartesian product of bounded intervals. An algorithm to sample vectors with multinormal distribution truncated to B is implemented. AMS Classification 60G15 60G10 65C05
