Global-Local Mixtures

Statistics Theory 2016-09-22 v2 Statistics Theory

Abstract

Global-local mixtures are derived from the Cauchy-Schlomilch and Liouville integral transformation identities. We characterize well-known normal-scale mixture distributions including the Laplace or lasso, logit and quantile as well as new global-local mixtures. We also apply our methodology to convolutions that commonly arise in Bayesian inference. Finally, we conclude with a conjecture concerning bridge and uniform correlation mixtures.
