Relationships among some univariate distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to graphically illustrate the parametric relationships between pairs of 35 univariate distribution families. The families are organized into a seven-by-five matrix and the relationships are illustrated by connecting related families with arrows. A simplified matrix, showing only 25 families, is designed for student use. These relationships provide rapid access to information that must otherwise be found from a time-consuming search of a large number of sources. Students, teachers, and practitioners who model random processes will find the relationships in this article useful and insightful.

Asymmetric Univariate and Bivariate Laplace and Generalized Laplace Distributions
Alternative specifications of univariate asymmetric Laplace models are described and investigated. A more general mixture model is then introduced. Bivariate extensions of these models are discussed in some detail, with particular emphasis on associated parameter estimation strategies. Multivariate versions of the models are briefly introduced.

The equilibrium distributions have many applications in reliability theory, stochastic orderings and random processes. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the equilibrium distributions and presents some results related to this issue. Some results are based on order statistics. In this paper, the generalized Pareto distributions are also analyzed and some basic relationships between t...
متن کاملOn a New Bimodal Normal Family
The unimodal distributions are frequently used in the theorical statistical studies. But in applied statistics, there are many situations in which the unimodal distributions can not be fitted to the data. For example, the distribution of the data outside the control zone in quality control or outlier observations in linear models and time series may require to be a bimodal. These situations, oc...
متن کاملA Compendium of Conjugate Priors
This report reviews conjugate priors and priors closed under sampling for a variety of data generating processes where the prior distributions are univariate, bivariate, and multivariate. The effects of transformations on conjugate prior relationships are considered and cases where conjugate prior relationships can be applied under transformations are identified. Univariate and bivariate prior ...
