The information contained in a discrete two-way contingency table can be decomposed into three independent components: row marginals, column marginals and cross-product ratios. The log-linear models ...

In this paper the multivariate skew normal distribution, introduced by Azzalini and Dalla Valle (1996), is used as a basis in density expansions. A short summary of main properties of the distribution ...

This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...

You can use the CDFPLOT statement to fit any of six theoretical distributions (beta, exponential, gamma, lognormal, normal, and Weibull) and superimpose them on the cdf plot. The following statements ...

Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions. These ...

Review challenges in the use of normality testing situations and recommendations on how to assess data distributions in the pharmaceutical development manufacturing environment Statisticians ...
