Nonlinear Regression Models Based on Slash Skew-Elliptical Errors
Authors
Abstract:
‎In this paper‎, ‎the nonlinear regression models when the model errors follow a slash‎ ‎skew-elliptical distribution‎, ‎are considered‎. ‎In the special case‎ ‎of nonlinear regression models under slash skew-t distribution‎, ‎we‎ ‎present some distributional properties‎, ‎and to estimate their‎ ‎parameters‎, ‎we use an EM-type algorithm‎. ‎Also‎, ‎to find the‎ ‎estimation errors‎, ‎we derive the observed information matrix‎ ‎analytically‎. ‎To describe the influence of the observations on the‎ ‎ML estimates‎, ‎we use a sensitivity analysis‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we conduct‎ ‎some simulation studies and a real data analysis to show the‎ ‎performance of the proposed model‎. ‎

Skew-slash distribution and its application in topics regression
In many issues of statistical modeling, the common assumption is that observations are normally distributed. In many real data applications, however, the true distribution is deviated from the normal. Thus, the main concern of most recent studies on analyzing data is to construct and the use of alternative distributions. In this regard, new classes of distributions such as slash and skew-sla...
full textHeteroscedastic nonlinear regression models based on scale mixtures of skew-normal distributions.
An extension of some standard likelihood based procedures to heteroscedastic nonlinear regression models under scale mixtures of skew-normal (SMSN) distributions is developed. We derive a simple EM-type algorithm for iteratively computing maximum likelihood (ML) estimates and the observed information matrix is derived analytically. Simulation studies demonstrate the robustness of this flexible ...
full textThe multivariate skew-slash distribution
The slash distribution is often used as a challenging distribution for a statistical procedure. In this article, we define a skewed version of the slash distribution in the multivariate setting and derive several of its properties. The multivariate skew-slash distribution is shown to be easy to simulate from and can therefore be used in simulation studies. We provide various examples for illust...
full textThe multivariate slash and skew-slash student t distributions
In this article, we introduce the multivariate slash and skew-slash t distributions which provide alternative choices in simulating and fitting skewed and heavy tailed data. We study their relationships with other distributions and give the densities, stochastic representations, moments, marginal distributions, distributions of linear combinations and characteristic functions of the random vect...
full textEstimating nonlinear regression errors without doing regression
A method for estimating nonlinear regression errors and their distributions without performing regression is presented. Assuming continuity of the modeling function the variance is given in terms of conditional probabilities extracted from the data. For N data points the computational demand is N. Comparing the predicted residual errors with those derived from a linear model assumption provides...
full textThe Family of Scale-Mixture of Skew-Normal Distributions and Its Application in Bayesian Nonlinear Regression Models
In previous studies on fitting non-linear regression models with the symmetric structure the normality is usually assumed in the analysis of data. This choice may be inappropriate when the distribution of residual terms is asymmetric. Recently, the family of scale-mixture of skew-normal distributions is the main concern of many researchers. This family includes several skewed and heavy-tailed d...
