On Perturbed Symmetric Distributions Associated with the Truncated Bivariate Elliptical Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of perturbed symmetric distributions associated with the bivariate elliptically symmetric (or simply Bivariate elliptical) distributions is proposed. But the class is obtained from the nontruncated marginals of the truncated bivariate elliptical distributions.

Selection models under generalized symmetry settings

TL;DR: The authors examines new directions of its use, and illustrates them with the construction of some probability distributions falling outside the family of the so-called skew-symmetric densities, which they call skew-elliptical densities.

Some simulation/computation in multivariate linear models of scale mixtures of skew-normal-Cauchy distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend standard likelihood-based procedures to the multivariate linear model using the scale mixtures of multivariate skew-normal-Cauchy distributions, and propose a simple EM algorithm for it.

Fisher information and its extensions based on infinite mixture density functions

TL;DR: In this paper , the generalized Fisher information of an infinite mixture density function has been shown to be convex in terms of the Pearson-Vajda χk divergence, and the convexity property of q−Fisher information measure based on finite mixture density functions under a mild condition.

The multivariate skew-normal distribution

Adelchi Azzalini, +1 more

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate parametric family such that the marginal densities are scalar skew-normal is introduced, and its properties are studied with special emphasis on the bivariate case.

Statistical applications of the multivariate skew normal distribution

TL;DR: Azzalini and Dalla Valle as discussed by the authors have discussed the multivariate skew normal distribution which extends the class of normal distributions by the addition of a shape parameter, and a further extension is described which introduces a skewing factor of an elliptical density.
