Rao ’ S Distance for Negative Multinomial Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
SUMMARY. Rao (1945) proposed a method, based on Fisher's information matrix, for measuring distance between distributions of a parametric family satisfying certain regularity conditions. In this paper, Rao's (1945) method is applied to obtain the distance between two negative multinomial distributions. Some other properties are discussed too.

On Dirichlet Multinomial Distributions
Dedicated to Professor Y. S. Chow on the Occasion of his 80th Birthday By Robert W. Keener and Wei Biao Wu Abstract Let Y have a symmetric Dirichlet multinomial distributions in R, and let Sm = h(Y1)+· · ·+h(Ym). We derive a central limit theorem for Sm as the sample size n and the number of cells m tend to infinity at the same rate. The rate of convergence is shown to be of order m. The approa...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Bayesian Probit Regression of Binary and Polychotomous Response Data
The goal of this study is to introduce a statistical method regarding the analysis of specific latent data for regression analysis of the discrete data and to build a relation between a probit regression model (related to the discrete response) and normal linear regression model (related to the latent data of continuous response). This method provides precise inferences on binary and multinomia...
متن کاملProbability Distributions and Coherent States of B r , C r and D r Algebras
A new approach to probability theory based on quantum mechanical and Lie algebraic ideas is proposed and developed. The underlying fact is the observation that the coherent states of the Heisenberg-Weyl, su(2), su(r+1), su(1, 1) and su(r, 1) algebras in certain symmetric (bosonic) representations give the “probability amplitudes” (or the “square roots”) of the well-known Poisson, binomial, mult...

متن کاملPartition Functions from Rao-Blackwellized Tempered Sampling
Partition functions of probability distributions are important quantities for model evaluation and comparisons. We present a new method to compute partition functions of complex and multimodal distributions. Such distributions are often sampled using simulated tempering, which augments the target space with an auxiliary inverse temperature variable. Our method exploits the multinomial probabili...
