Copulas are functions that enable the construction of multivariate probability distributions by binding together univariate marginal distributions. Central to probability theory, they allow ...
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 ...
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 ...
