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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

where seed is a numeric matrix or literal. The seed argument can be any integer value up to 2 31-1. The NORMAL function is a scalar function that returns a pseudo-random number having a normal ...
