A Finite-State Stationary Process with Long-Range Dependence and Fractional Multinomial Distribution
We propose a discrete-time, finite-state stationary process that can possess long-range dependence. Among the interesting features of this process is that each state can have different long-term dependency, i.e., the indicator sequence can have a ...

Multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials and composition birth and death processes
This paper defines the multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials, orthogonal on the multinomial distribution, and summarizes their properties as a review. The multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials are symmetric functions of orthogonal sets of functions defined ...

Building and using semiparametric tolerance regions for parametric multinomial models
We introduce a semiparametric ``tubular neighborhood'' of a parametric model in the multinomial setting. It consists of all multinomial distributions lying in a distance-based neighborhood of the parametric model of interest. Fitting such a tubular model

Sequential procedure for test of uniformity in multinomial models
In this thesis we deal with a sequential procedure for testing uniformity in a given multinomial distribution using inverse sampling. From a decision theoretic point of view, we devise an efficient stopping rule that satisfies a pre-determined P ...

Parameter Estimation of the Dirichlet Distribution Based on Entropy
The Dirichlet distribution as a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution is especially important for modeling categorical distributions. Hence, its applications vary within a wide range from modeling cell probabilities of contingency tables ...

A Neural Network Approach for Pricing Correlated Health Risks
In recent years, the actuarial literature involving machine learning in insurance pricing has flourished. However, most actuarial machine learning research focuses on property and casualty insurance, while using such techniques in health insurance is yet

On the development of a semi-nonparametric generalized multinomial logit model for travel-related choices. [PDF]
A semi-nonparametric generalized multinomial logit model, formulated using orthonormal Legendre polynomials to extend the standard Gumbel distribution, is presented in this paper.
