We examined time-dependent statistical properties of electromyographic (EMG) signals recorded from intrinsic hand muscles during handwriting. Our analysis showed that trial-to-trial neuronal variability of EMG signals is well described by the lognormal distribution clearly distinguished from the Gaussian (normal) distribution. This finding indicates that EMG formation cannot be described by a c...

In this article we construct bivariate discrete distribution in Z. We make use of a generalized trivariate reduction technique. The special case leading to bivariate Skellam distributions is studied in detail. Properties of the derived models as well as estimation are examined. Real data application is provided. Discussion of extensions to different models is also mentioned.

In this paper, a class of multivariate skew distributions has been explored. Then its properties are derived. The relationship between the multivariate skew normal and the Wishart distribution is also studied. @ 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
