Conditionally specified space-time models for multivariate processes
We propose a class of conditionally specified models for the analysis of multivariate space-time processes. Such models are useful in situations where there is sparse spatial coverage of one of the processes and much more dense coverage of the other process(es). The dependence structure across processes and over space, and time is completely specified through a neighborhood structure. These mod...
متن کاملCompatibility of conditionally specified models.
A conditionally specified joint model is convenient to use in fields such as spatial data modeling, Gibbs sampling, and missing data imputation. One potential problem with such an approach is that the conditionally specified models may be incompatible, which can lead to serious problems in applications. We propose an odds ratio representation of a joint density to study the issue and derive con...
متن کاملA Skew-symmetric Representation of Multivariate Distributions
This article studies a family of multivariate skew-symmetric distributions. We show that any multivariate probability density function admits a skewsymmetric representation. We derive several characteristics of this representation and establish an invariance property. We present a stochastic representation of skew-symmetric distributions which lends itself readily to simulations. The flexibilit...
متن کاملOn strong unimodality of multivariate discrete distributions
A discrete function f defined on Zn is said to be logconcave if f(λx+(1− λ)y) ≥ [f(x)]λ[f(y)]1−λ for x, y, λx + (1− λ)y ∈ Zn. A more restrictive notion is strong unimodality. Following Barndorff-Nielsen (1973) a discrete function p(z), z ∈ Zn is called strongly unimodal if there exists a convex function f(x), x ∈ Rn such that f(x) = − log p(x), if x ∈ Zn. In this paper sufficient conditions are...
متن کاملCanonical representation of discrete phase type distributions of order 2 and 3
In spite of the fact that discrete phase type (DPH) distributions are used almost as often as their continuous phase type (CPH) distributions canonical representations are not available for general (cyclic) DPH distributions. In this paper we investigate the canonical representation of DPH distributions of order 2 and 3. During the course of this investigation we nd DPH properties which essenti...
