Abstract Mixture of Experts (MoE) is a popular framework for modeling heterogeneity in data for regression, classification and clustering. For continuous data which we consider here in the context of regression and cluster analysis, MoE usually use normal experts, that is, expert components following the Gaussian distribution. However, for a set of data containing a group or groups of observati...

In this work we explore the connections between (linear) nested sequent calculi and ordinary sequent calculi for normal and non-normal modal logics. By proposing local versions to ordinary sequent rules we obtain linear nested sequent calculi for a number of logics, including to our knowledge the first nested sequent calculi for a large class of simply dependent multimodal logics, and for many ...

Process monitoring through control charts is a quite popular practice in statistical process control. This study is planned for monitoring the process dispersion parameter using exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart scheme. Most of the EWMA dispersion charts that have been proposed are based on the assumption that the parent distribution of the quality characteristic is nor...

in this paper we consider several generalizations of the skew t-normal distribution, and some of their properties. also, we represent several theorems for constructing each generalized skew t-normal distribution. next, we illustrate the application of the proposed distribution studying the ratio of two heavy metals, nickel and vanadium, associated with crude oil in shadgan wetland in the south-...
