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 ...

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 ...

This paper compares the estimative and predictive methods of estimating a multivariate normal density, and shows that in terms of a goodness-of-fit criterion based on an information measure, the ...

A kernel density curve may follow the shape of the distribution more closely. To construct a normal kernel density curve, one parameter is required: the bandwidth .The value of determines the degree ...
