In this paper, we establish the stochastic ordering of the Gini indexes for multivariate elliptical risks which generalized the corresponding results for multivariate normal risks. It is shown that several conditions on dispersion matrices…
In 2017-2020 Jordanova and co-authors investigate probabilities for p-outside values and determine them in many particular cases. They show that these probabilities are closely related to the concept for heavy tails. Tukey's boxplots are…
Quantile regression models provide a wide picture of the conditional distributions of the response variable by capturing the effect of the covariates at different quantile levels. In most applications, the parametric form of those…
Finite mixture models that allow for a broad range of potentially non-elliptical cluster distributions is an emerging methodological field. Such methods allow for the shape of the clusters to match the natural heterogeneity of the data,…
A new notion of stochastic ordering is introduced to compare multivariate stochastic risk models with respect to extreme portfolio losses. In the framework of multivariate regular variation comparison criteria are derived in terms of…
A general and relatively simple method for construction of multivariate goodness-of-fit tests is introduced. The proposed test is applied to elliptical distributions. The method is based on a characterization of probability distributions…
Implicit copulas are the most common copula choice for modeling dependence in high dimensions. This broad class of copulas is introduced and surveyed, including elliptical copulas, skew $t$ copulas, factor copulas, time series copulas and…
Using a large set of daily US and Japanese stock returns, we test in detail the relevance of Student models, and of more general elliptical models, for describing the joint distribution of returns. We find that while Student copulas provide…

Asymptotic expansions for a wide class of distribution are studied. A simple method for computation of the series coefficients is suggested. The case when regularization parameter of the distribution depends on the asymptotic parameter is…

The change-plane Cox model is a popular tool for the subgroup analysis of survival data. Despite the rich literature on this model, there has been limited investigation into the asymptotic properties of the estimators of the…
This paper focuses on generalizing quantiles from the ordering point of view. We propose the concept of partial quantiles, which are based on a given partial order. We establish that partial quantiles are equivariant under order-preserving…
Chance constraints describe a set of given random inequalities depending on the decision vector satisfied with a large enough probability. They are widely used in decision making under uncertain data in many engineering problems. This paper…
We propose a multiscale approach for an elliptic multiscale setting with general unstructured diffusion coefficients that is able to achieve high-order convergence rates with respect to the mesh parameter and the polynomial degree. The…
The mollified uniform distribution is rediscovered, which constitutes a ``soft'' version of the continuous uniform distribution. Important stochastic properties are presented and used to demonstrate potential fields of applications. For…
The technique of wrapping of a univariate probability distribution is very effective in getting a circular form of the underlying density. In this article, we introduce the circular (wrapped) version of xgamma distribution and study its…

Log-concave distributions are an attractive choice for modeling and inference, for several reasons: The class of log-concave distributions contains most of the commonly used parametric distributions and thus is a rich and flexible…
Circular variables such as phase or orientation have received considerable attention throughout the scientific and engineering communities and have recently been quite prominent in the field of neuroscience. While many analytic techniques…
