A Characterization of the Multivariate Normal Distribution by Using the Hazard Gradient
نویسندگان
چکیده
A b s t r a c t . We give a general result to characterize a multivariate distribution from a relationship between the left truncated mean function and the hazard gradient function. This result allows us to obtain new characterizations of multivariate distributions. In particular, we show that, for the multivariate normal distribution, the simple relationship, obtained in standardized form by McGill (1992, Communications in Statistics. Theory Methods, 21(11), 3053-3060), actually characterizes the multivariate normal distribution.

The aim of this research was to generate a landslide hazard zoning map by using the multivariate linear regression method in the Kohsar Watershed, Northwest of Tehran. Initially, we used field surveys, local interview and review of studies outside and inside of Iran. Eleven effective factors were recognized on landslide. These factors included: slope degree, slope aspect, elevation, lithology, ...
متن کاملOn the Canonical-Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Multivariate Skew-Normality
It is well-known that the skew-normal distribution can provide an alternative model to the normal distribution for analyzing asymmetric data. The aim of this paper is to propose two goodness-of-fit tests for assessing whether a sample comes from a multivariate skew-normal (MSN) distribution. We address the problem of multivariate skew-normality goodness-of-fit based on the empirical Laplace tra...
متن کاملCharacterization of rare earth elements by coupling multivariate analysis, factor analysis, and geostatistical simulation; case-study of Gazestan deposit, central Iran
The traditional approaches of modeling and estimation of highly skewed deposits have led to incorrect evaluations, creating challenges and risks in resource management. The low concentration of the rare earth element (REE) deposits, on one hand, and their strategic importance, on the other, enhances the necessity of multivariate modeling of these deposits. The wide variations of the grades and ...
