Dependency Models based on Generalized Gaussian Scale Mixtures and Normal Variance Mean Mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the Gaussian scale mixture model of dependent subspace source densities to include non-radially symmetric densities using Generalized Gaussian random variables linked by a common variance. We also introduce the modeling of skew using the Normal Variance-Mean mixture model. We give closed form expressions for likelihoods and parameter updates in the EM algorithm.

Data augmentation for non-Gaussian regression models using variance-mean mixtures
We use the theory of normal variance-mean mixtures to derive a data-augmentation scheme that unifies a wide class of statistical models under a single framework. This generalizes existing theory on normal variance mixtures for priors in regression and classification. It also allows variants of the expectation-maximization algorithm to be brought to bear on a much wider range of models than prev...
متن کاملA Generalized Normal Mean Variance Mixture for Return Processes in Finance
Time-changed Brownian motions are extensively applied as mathematical models for asset returns in Finance. Time change is interpreted as a switch to trade-related business time, different from calendar time. Time-changed Brownian motions can be generated by infinite divisible normal mixtures. The standard multivariate normal mean variance mixtures assume a common mixing variable. This correspon...
متن کاملForecasting Financial Risks By Modified Grid-Based Decomposition Algorithm For Normal Variance-Mean Mixtures
We describe an algorithm to forecast financial risks using parametrized models of normal variance-mean mixtures. The proposed method takes a set of vectors as the input, containing a fixed number of the distribution parameters – the final result of the modified two-step grid-based decomposition algorithm applied to a moving time window. In this article we use the class of generalized hyperbolic...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Mixtures of Generalized Linear Mixed - effects Models
Finite mixtures of simpler component models such as mixtures of normals and mixtures of generalized linear models (GLM) have proven useful for modelling data arising from a heterogeneous population, typically under an independence assumption. Mixed-effects models are often used to handle correlation as arises in longitudinal or other clustered data. In Chapter 3 of this dissertation, we present...
متن کاملScale Mixtures of Gaussians and the Statistics of Natural Images
The statistics of photographic images, when represented using multiscale (wavelet) bases, exhibit two striking types of nonGaussian behavior. First, the marginal densities of the coefficients have extended heavy tails. Second, the joint densities exhibit variance dependencies not captured by second-order models. We examine properties of the class of Gaussian scale mixtures, and show that these ...
