Statistics Theory 2025-12-23 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

The classification of natural exponential families started with the paper \cite {Morri} where Carl Morris unifies six very familiar families by the fact that their variance functions are polynomials of degree less or equal to two. Extension of this classification to Rn\R^n and to degree three is the subject of this paper. Keywords: Actions of the group GL(n+1,R)GL(n+1,\R), classification of natural exponential families, multivariate Lagrange formula. variance functions.
