We develop a class of non-Gaussian translation processes that extend classical stochastic differential equations (SDEs) by prescribing arbitrary absolutely continuous marginal distributions. Our approach uses a copula-based transformation…
We introduce new method for generating correlated or uncorrelated Bernoulli random variables by using the binary expansion of a continuous random variable with support on the unit interval. We show that when this variable has a symmetric…
In this work, we derive an Edgeworth expansion for the Bernoulli weighted mean $\hat{\mu} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n Y_i T_i}{\sum_{i=1}^n T_i}$ in the case where $Y_1, \dots, Y_n$ are i.i.d. non semi-lattice random variables and $T_1, \dots,…
This paper studies the asymptotic properties of weighted sums of the form $Z_n=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i$, in which $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~random variables and $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ correspond to either eigenvalues or singular…
In this work we propose a semiparametric bivariate copula whose density is defined by a piecewise constant function on disjoint squares. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimators of model parameters and prove that they reduce to the…
Non-linear gravitational collapse introduces non-Gaussian statistics into the matter fields of the late Universe. As the large-scale structure is the target of current and future observational campaigns, one would ideally like to have the…
We present a new and general method of weighted least square univariate regression where the dependent variable is expanded as a series of suitably chosen functions of the independent variables. Each term of the series is obtained by an…
This paper extends Edgeworth-Cornish-Fisher expansions for the distribution and quantiles of nonparametric estimates in two ways. Firstly it allows observations to have different distributions. Secondly it allows the observations to be…
This paper is devoted to study a new three- parameters model called the Exponential Flexible Weibull extension (EFWE) distribution which exhibits bathtub-shaped hazard rate. Some of it's statistical properties are obtained including…
We study a well-known problem concerning a random variable $Z$ uniformly distributed between two independent random variables. Two different extensions, conditionally directed power distribution and conditionally undirected power…
We are interested in modeling networks in which the connectivity among the nodes and node attributes are random variables and interact with each other. We propose a probabilistic model that allows one to formulate jointly a probability…
The generalized exponential distribution is a well-known probability model in lifetime data analysis and several other research areas, including precipitation modeling. Despite having broad applications for independently and identically…
A statistical method for the elicitation of priors in Bayesian generalised linear models (GLMs) and extensions is proposed. Probabilistic predictions are elicited from the expert to parametrise a multivariate t prior distribution for the…
Selective inference methods are developed for group lasso estimators for use with a wide class of distributions and loss functions. The method includes the use of exponential family distributions, as well as quasi-likelihood modeling for…
The Lindley distribution was first introduced by Lindley in 1958 for Bayesian computations. Over the past years, various generalizations of this distribution have been proposed by different authors. The generalized Lindley distributions…
The aim of this paper, is to define a bivariate exponentiated generalized linear exponential distribution based on Marshall-Olkin shock model. Statistical and reliability properties of this distribution are discussed. This includes…

Skewed generalizations of the normal distribution have been a topic of great interest in the statistics community due to their diverse applications across several domains. One of the most popular skew normal distributions, due to its…
Gaussian graphical models typically assume a homogeneous structure across all subjects, which is often restrictive in applications. In this article, we propose a weighted pseudo-likelihood approach for graphical modeling which allows…
Transmuted geometric distribution (TGD) was recently introduced and investigated by Chakraborty and Bhati (2016). This is a flexible extension of geometric distribution having an additional parameter that determines its zero inflation as…
