Fern\'andez-Dur\'an (2004) developed a family of circular distributions based on nonnegative trigonometric sums (NNTS) which is flexible for modeling datasets exhibiting multimodality and asymmetry. Many datasets involving angles in 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…
The parameter space of nonnegative trigonometric sums (NNTS) models for circular data is the surface of a hypersphere; thus, constructing regression models for a circular-dependent variable using NNTS models can comprise fitting great…
In Fern\'andez-Dur\'an (2004), a new family of circular distributions based on nonnegative trigonometric sums (NNTS models) is developed. Because the parameter space of this family is the surface of the hypersphere, an efficient Newton-like…
The probability integral transform (PIT) of a continuous random variable $X$ with distribution function $F_X$ is a uniformly distributed random variable $U=F_X(X)$. We define the angular probability integral transform (APIT) as $\theta_U =…
Fern\'andez-Dur\'an and Gregorio-Dom\'inguez (2014) defined a family of probability distributions for a vector of circular random variables by considering multiple nonnegative trigonometric sums. These distributions are highly flexible and…
Nonparametric tests for equality of multivariate distributions are frequently desired in research. It is commonly required that test-procedures based on relatively small samples of vectors accurately control the corresponding Type I Error…
The distribution of the sum of independent identically distributed uniform random variables is well-known. However, it is sometimes necessary to analyze data which have been drawn from different uniform distributions. By inverting the…
Let $\a$ be a complex random variable with mean zero and bounded variance $\sigma^{2}$. Let $N_{n}$ be a random matrix of order $n$ with entries being i.i.d. copies of $\a$. Let $\lambda_{1}, ..., \lambda_{n}$ be the eigenvalues of…
We provide finite-sample distribution approximations, that are uniform in the parameter, for inference in linear mixed models. Focus is on variances and covariances of random effects in cases where existing theory fails because their…
We propose tests for the null hypothesis that the law of a complex-valued random vector is circularly symmetric. The test criteria are formulated as $L^2$-type criteria based on empirical characteristic functions, and they are convenient…
This article considers exponential families of truncated multivariate normal distributions with one-sided truncation for some or all coordinates. We observe that if all components are one-sided truncated then this family is not full. The…
The regular variation model for multivariate extremes decomposes the joint distribution of the extremes in polar coordinates in terms of the angles and the norm of the random vector as the product of two independent densities: the angular…
\cite{tsagris2025a} proposed the generalized circular projected Cauchy (GCPC) distribution, whose special case is the wrapped Cauchy distribution. In this paper we first derive the relationship with the wrapped Cauchy distribution, and then…
Sine-skewed circular distributions are identifiable and have easily-computable trigonometric moments and a simple random number generation algorithm, whereas they are known to have relatively low levels of asymmetry. This study proposes a…
This paper studies optimal hypothesis testing for nonregular econometric models with parameter-dependent support. We consider both one-sided and two-sided hypothesis testing and develop asymptotically uniformly most powerful tests based on…
Testing for normality is a widely used procedure in statistics and data analysis, often applied prior to employing methods that rely on the assumption of normally distributed data. While several existing tests target distributional…
Given a random sample of observations, mixtures of normal densities are often used to estimate the unknown continuous distribution from which the data come. Here we propose the use of this semiparametric framework for testing symmetry about…
In this paper, we analyze the set of all possible aggregate distributions of the sum of standard uniform random variables, a simply stated yet challenging problem in the literature of distributions with given margins. Our main results are…
In applied probability, the normal approximation is often used for the distribution of data with assumed additive structure. This tradition is based on the central limit theorem for sums of (independent) random variables. However, it is…
