Portfolio separation properties of the skew-elliptical distributions, with generalizations

TL;DR: In this article, the two-fund separation property of the elliptical distributions is extended to the skew-elliptical case by adding a number of funds equaling the rank of the skewness matrix.

A variational Bayesian approach for inverse problems with skew-t error distributions

TL;DR: A novel robust Bayesian approach to inverse problems with data errors following a skew-t distribution is developed and a variational type algorithm is proposed by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the true posterior distribution and a separable approximation.

Moments of scale mixtures of skew-normal distributions and their quadratic forms

TL;DR: In this article, the first moments of scale mixtures of skew-normal distributions allowing for scale parameters were derived and the first two moments of their quadratic forms were obtained using those moments.

A note on bias reduction of maximum likelihood estimates for the scalar skew t distribution

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the modified score function is always finite, considering the degrees of freedom as known and greater than or equal to 2, and that the maximum likelihood estimator of the shape parameter is also always finite.

On moments of folded and doubly truncated multivariate extended skew-normal distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed recurrence relations for integrals that relate the density of multivariate extended skew-normal (ESN) distribution, including the well-known skew normal (SN) distribution introduced by Azzalini and Dalla-Valle (1996) and the popular multivariate normal distribution.

The multivariate skew-normal distribution

Adelchi Azzalini, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1996 - 
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.

Statistical applications of the multivariate skew-normal distribution

TL;DR: Azzalini and Dalla Valle as mentioned in this paper have recently discussed the multivariate skew-normal distribution which extends the class of normal distributions by the addition of a shape parameter.
