Book A Compendium of Variance Functions for Real Natural Exponential Families

Download or read book A Compendium of Variance Functions for Real Natural Exponential Families written by A. C. Vandal and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Natural Exponential Families (NEF) belonging to the Grand-Babel class have variance functions (VF) of the form V$ sb{F}$(m) = P(m)$ Delta(m)$ + Q(m)$ sqrt{ Delta(m)},$ with P,Q and $ Delta$ polynomials with deg P $ geq$ 3, deg Q $ geq$ 2 and deg $ Delta$ $ geq$ 2. Although the members of this class have not as yet all been enumerated, several useful sub-classes have been fully described, namely the Morris class, with at most quadratic polynomial VFs: the Mora class, with cubic polynomial Vfs; the Babel class, with deg P = 0, deg Q $ leq$ 1 and deg $ Delta$ $ leq$ 2; and the Seshadri class, with deg P = degQ = deg$ Delta$ = 1. In order to motivate a uniform presentation of each member of these classes in compendium form, the basic properties of NEFs are surveyed, with special insistence on extension models such as convolution families, exponential dispersion models and affinities of NEFs. The Grand-Babel NEFs are presented with both a canonical parametrization which emphasizes the link to their basis measure and a more familiar or utilitarian parametrization. Expressions for the variance function, the cumulant transform, the mean-domain mapping, the density (when available), the Legendre transform and some asymptotics are given for each NEF, thus providing links to the theories of Likelihood and Quasi-likelihood, Generalized Linear Models, Saddlepoint approximation, Large deviations, Distributions and Asymptotic approximation. The notion of Canonical Caste Member (CCM), an easily identifiable representative of the equivalence class of all affinities of a NEF, is introduced; correspondingly, a table of variance functions for the CCMs of the currently classified Grand-Babel NEFs is provided." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous Multivariate Distributions, Volume 1, Second Edition provides a remarkably comprehensive, self-contained resource for this critical statistical area. It covers all significant advances that have occurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory, methodology, inferential procedures, computational and simulational aspects, and applications of continuous multivariate distributions. In-depth coverage includes MV systems of distributions, MV normal, MV exponential, MV extreme value, MV beta, MV gamma, MV logistic, MV Liouville, and MV Pareto distributions, as well as MV natural exponential families, which have grown immensely since the 1970s. Each distribution is presented in its own chapter along with descriptions of real-world applications gleaned from the current literature on continuous multivariate distributions and their applications.

Book Multivariate Exponential Families  A Concise Guide to Statistical Inference

Download or read book Multivariate Exponential Families A Concise Guide to Statistical Inference written by Stefan Bedbur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise introduction to exponential families. Parametric families of probability distributions and their properties are extensively studied in the literature on statistical modeling and inference. Exponential families of distributions comprise density functions of a particular form, which enables general assertions and leads to nice features. With a focus on parameter estimation and hypotheses testing, the text introduces the reader to distributional and statistical properties of multivariate and multiparameter exponential families along with a variety of detailed examples. The material is widely self-contained and written in a mathematical setting. It may serve both as a concise, mathematically rigorous course on exponential families in a systematic structure and as an introduction to Mathematical Statistics restricted to the use of exponential families.

Book The Theory of Dispersion Models

Download or read book The Theory of Dispersion Models written by Bent Jorgensen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of dispersion models straddles both statistics and probability, and involves an encyclopedic collection of tools, such as exponential families, asymptotic theory, stochastic processes, Tauber theory, infinite divisibility, and stable distributions. The Theory of Dispersion Models introduces the reader to these models, which serve as error distributions for generalized linear models, and looks at their applications within this context.

Book Algebraic Statistics

Download or read book Algebraic Statistics written by Seth Sullivant and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebraic statistics uses tools from algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, combinatorics, and their computational sides to address problems in statistics and its applications. The starting point for this connection is the observation that many statistical models are semialgebraic sets. The algebra/statistics connection is now over twenty years old, and this book presents the first broad introductory treatment of the subject. Along with background material in probability, algebra, and statistics, this book covers a range of topics in algebraic statistics including algebraic exponential families, likelihood inference, Fisher's exact test, bounds on entries of contingency tables, design of experiments, identifiability of hidden variable models, phylogenetic models, and model selection. With numerous examples, references, and over 150 exercises, this book is suitable for both classroom use and independent study.
