This paper considers distributed average consensus using finite-bit bounded quantizer with possibly unbounded data. Under the framework of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), we develop distributed averaging algorithms…
Probability distributions defined on the unit interval are widely used in fields ranging from econometrics to reliability studies. Traditional models such as the beta and Kumaraswamy distributions are well-established due to their…
In this paper we consider a variety of procedures for numerical statistical inference in the family of univariate and multivariate stable distributions. In connection with univariate distributions (i) we provide approximations by finite…
In statistics, processed data are becoming increasingly complex, and classical probability distributions are limited in their ability to model them. This is why, to better model data, extensive work has been conducted on extending classical…
The Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is a flexible and useful model which has been used in several fields. In this paper, a new bimodal version of this distribution based on the alpha-skew-normal distribution is established. We discuss some…
This paper proposes a Bayesian method for estimating the parameters of a normal distribution when only limited summary statistics (sample mean, minimum, maximum, and sample size) are available. To estimate the parameters of a normal…
This paper builds on recent research that focuses on regression modeling of continuous bounded data, such as proportions measured on a continuous scale. Specifically, it deals with beta regression models with mixed effects from a Bayesian…
This article proposes a bivariate Simplex distribution for modeling continuous outcomes constrained to the interval $(0,1)$, which can represent proportions, rates, or indices. We derive analytical expressions to calculate the dependence…
The widely recommended procedure of Bayesian model averaging is flawed in the M-open setting in which the true data-generating process is not one of the candidate models being fit. We take the idea of stacking from the point estimation…
In the presence of modeling errors, the mainstream Bayesian methods seldom give a realistic account of uncertainties as they commonly underestimate the inherent variability of parameters. This problem is not due to any misconception in the…
Understanding variable dependence, particularly eliciting their statistical properties given a set of covariates, provides the mathematical foundation in practical operations management such as risk analysis and decision-making given…
In this article, we proposed a new probability distribution named as power Maxwell distribution (PMaD). It is another extension of Maxwell distribution (MaD) which would lead more flexibility to analyze the data with non-monotone failure…
In a recent paper, Mazucheli et al. (2019) introduced the unit-Gompertz (UG) distribution and studied some of its properties. It is a continuous distribution with bounded support, and hence may be useful for modelling life-time phenomena.…
We generalize the Borkar-Meyn stability Theorem (BMT) to distributed stochastic approximations (SAs) with information delays that possess an arbitrary moment bound. To model the delays, we introduce Age of Information Processes (AoIPs):…
Neural networks make accurate predictions but often fail to provide reliable uncertainty estimates, especially under covariate distribution shifts between training and testing. To address this problem, we propose a Bayesian framework for…
Finite mixture of Gaussian distributions provide a flexible semi-parametric methodology for density estimation when the variables under investigation have no boundaries. However, in practical applications variables may be partially bounded…
We introduce the notion of BMT independence, allowing us to take arbitrary mixtures of boolean, monotone, and tensor independence and generalizing the notion of BM independence of Wysoczanski. Pair-wise independence relations are encoded…
The break-by-one gamma distribution has a probability density function resembling the Schechter function, but with the small-argument behavior modified so it is normalizable in commonly arising cases where the Schechter function is not. Its…
In this paper we introduce a new parametric distribution, the Mixed Tempered Stable. It has the same structure of the Normal Variance Mean Mixtures but the normality assumption leaves place to a semi-heavy tailed distribution. We show that,…
Grouped data are commonly encountered in applications. The Bernstein polynomial model is proposed as an approximate model in this paper for estimating a univariate density function based on grouped data. The coefficients of the Bernstein…
