On Relative Skewness for Multivariate Distributions
In this paper, we provide a new concept of relative skewness among multivariate distributions, extending to the multivariate case a similar concept in the univariate case. In this case, a random variable Y is said to be more right skewed than a random variable X if there exits an increasing convex transformation which maps X onto Y . Given two random vectors X and Y and an appropriate transform...
متن کاملInformation Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Burr III and Logistic Distributions
Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...
متن کاملConcentration Inequalities for Multivariate Distributions: I. Multivariate Norivial Distributions
Let X rv Np(O, E), the p-variate normal distribution with mean °and positive definite covariance matrix .E. Anderson (1955) showed that if .E2 .E1 is positive semidefinite then PEl (C) 2: P E2(C) for every centrally symmetric (-C = convex set C ~ RP. Fefferman, Jodeit, and Perlman (1972) extended this result to elliptically contoured distributions. In the present paper similar multivariate f f"...
متن کاملOn Homogeneous Skewness of Unimodal Distributions
We introduce a new concept of skewness for unimodal continuous distributions which is built on the asymmetry of the density function around its mode. The asymmetry is captured through a skewness function. We call a distribution homogeneously skewed if this skewness function is consistently positive or negative throughout its domain, and partially homogeneously skewed if the skewness function ch...
متن کاملTwo New Approaches for Examining Multivariate Aquaculture Growth
Two new approaches foi the multivariate analysis of fish growth in aquaculture are presented. The first of these two approaches, the "extended Bayley plot" is a multiple regression expansion of an existing bivariate method, which permits the inclusion of environmental and treatment variables when estimating the parameters Lm and K of the von Bertalanflj. growth function, given precise measureme...
