Much work has been done in the area of the cluster weighted model (CWM), which extends the finite mixture of regression model to include modelling of the covariates. Although many types of distributions have been considered for both the…
A novel yet simple extension of the symmetric logistic distribution is proposed by introducing a skewness parameter. It is shown how the three parameters of the ensuing skew logistic distribution may be estimated using maximum likelihood.…
Cross-sectional observations from a dynamical system can be modeled via steady-state distributions of Markov processes. The major challenge is then to determine whether the process parameters can be identified and estimated from the…
We consider statistics on permutations chosen uniformly at random from fixed parabolic double cosets of the symmetric group. We show that the distribution of fixed points is asymptotically Poisson and establish central limit theorems for…
Let $\{x_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}}$ and $\{y_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}}$ be two independent collections of zero mean, unit variance random variables with uniformly bounded moments of all orders. Consider a nonsymmetric…
Probability distributions in Stiefel manifold such as the von-Mises Fisher and Bingham distributions find diverse applications in signal processing and other applied sciences. Use of these statistical models in practice is complicated by…
Computing the similarity between two probability distributions is a recurring theme across control. We introduce a unified family of distances between the probability distributions of two random variables that is based on the discrepancy…
This note corrects a technical error in Guardiola (2020, Journal of Statistical Distributions and Applications), presents updated derivations, and offers an extended discussion of the properties of the spherical Dirichlet distribution.…
We consider in this paper the semiparametric mixture of two distributions equal up to a shift parameter. The model is said to be semiparametric in the sense that the mixed distribution is not supposed to belong to a parametric family. In…
Nonlinear mixed effects models have received a great deal of attention in the statistical literature in recent years because of their flexibility in handling longitudinal studies, including human immunodeficiency virus viral dynamics,…
This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for complex-valued probability measures and explores their novel applications in information theory and statistical analysis. We define a complex probability measure as a phase-modulated…
In this brief note, we highlight some difficulties that can arise when fitting a continuous, symmetric, unimodal distribution to a set of expert's judgements. A simple analysis shows it is possible to fit a Cauchy distribution to an…
Fourier analysis and representation of circular distributions in terms of their Fourier coefficients, is quite commonly discussed and used for model-free inference such as testing uniformity and symmetry etc. in dealing with 2-dimensional…
In this article, we study a model of random permutations, which we call random standardized permutations, based on a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. This model generalizes others, such as the riffle-shuffle and the major-index-biased…
Many approximate Bayesian inference methods assume a particular parametric form for approximating the posterior distribution. A multivariate Gaussian distribution provides a convenient density for such approaches; examples include the…
The family of circular distributions based on non-negative trigonometric sums (NNTS), developed by Fern\'andez-Dur\'an (2004), is highly flexible for modeling datasets exhibiting multimodality and/or skewness. In this article, we extend the…
An important aspect of the shape of a distribution is the level of asymmetry. Strong asymmetries play a role in many ecosystems and are found in the size and reproductive success of individuals. But the standard third moment coefficient of…
We generalize the SiZer of Chaudhuri and Marron (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 94 (1999) 807-823, Ann. Statist. 28 (2000) 408-428) for the detection of shape parameters of densities on the real line to the case of circular data. It turns out…
We study the conditional Cauchy-Schwarz divergence (C-CSD) as a symmetric and density-free measure for time series analysis. We derive a practical kernel based estimator using radial basis function kernels on both the condition and output…
This paper develops an analogy between the cycle structure of, on the one hand, random permutations with cycle lengths restricted to lie in an infinite set $S$ with asymptotic density $\sigma$ and, on the other hand, permutations selected…
