In this article, a multivariate extension of the unit-sinh-normal (USHN) distribution is presented. The new distribution, which obtained from conditionally specified distributions methodology, absolutely continuous, and its marginal are univariate USHN. properties USHN studied in detail, statistical inference carried out classical approach using maximum likelihood method. suitable for modeling ...

This paper concerns segmented multivariate regression models, models which have different linear forms in different subdomains of the domain of an independent variable. Without knowing that number and their boundaries, we first estimate the number of these subdomains using a modified Schwarz criterion. The estimated number of regions proves to be weakly consistent under fairly general condition...

Bayesian analyses of multivariate binary or categorical outcomes typically rely on probit or mixed effects logistic regression models that do not have a marginal logistic structure for the individual outcomes. In addition, difficulties arise when simple noninformative priors are chosen for the covariance parameters. Motivated by these problems, we propose a new type of multivariate logistic dis...

Abstract Background and purpose: High-risk pregnancy is referred to a situation in which mother, fetus or neonate are in higher risk of morbidity or mortality. Because of adverse outcomes of high-risk pregnancies, this study aims to determine these outcomes in the North of Iran.  Materials and Methods: We recruited 803 urban and rural pregnant women in this crosssectional ...
