We consider nested sequences of hierarchical loglinear models when expected frequencies are subject to linear constraints and we study the problem of finding the model in the the nested sequence that is able to explain more clearly the given data. It will be necessary to give a method to estimate the parameters of the loglinear models and also a procedure to choose the best model among the mode...

In this paper, we introduce a Goodness-of-Fit test for the Multivariate Exponential Power (MEP) distribution, a multivariate extension of the Generalized Gaussian, which has recently gained considerable interest as a model for wavelet coefficients in the context of color image retrieval and spread-spectrum watermarking. We present a size and power study of this test and show Goodness-of-Fit res...
