Objective Priors for the Bivariate Normal Model with Multivariate Generalizations
Study of the bivariate normal distribution raises the full range of issues involving objective Bayesian inference, including the different types of objective priors (e.g., Jeffreys, invariant, reference, matching), the different modes of inference (e.g., Bayesian, frequentist, fiducial), and the criteria involved in deciding on optimal objective priors (e.g., ease of computation, frequentist pe...
متن کاملEncoding normal vectors using optimized spherical coordinates
We present a method for encoding unit vectors based on spherical coordinates that out-performs existing encoding methods both in terms of accuracy and encoding/decoding time. Given a tolerance ǫ, we solve a simple, discrete optimization problem to find a set of points on the unit sphere that can trivially be indexed such that the difference in angle between the encoded vector and the original a...
متن کاملPrior data for non-normal priors.
Data augmentation priors facilitate contextual evaluation of prior distributions and the generation of Bayesian outputs from frequentist software. Previous papers have presented approximate Bayesian methods using 2x2 tables of 'prior data' to represent lognormal relative-risk priors in stratified and regression analyses. The present paper describes extensions that use the tables to represent ge...
متن کاملMultivariate linear regression with non-normal errors: a solution based on mixture models
In some situations, the distribution of the error terms of a multivariate linear regression model may depart from normality. This problem has been addressed, for example, by specifying a different parametric distribution family for the error terms, such as multivariate skewed and/or heavy-tailed distributions. A new solution is proposed, which is obtained by modelling the error term distributio...
متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
