Dirichlet Posterior Sampling with Truncated Multinomial Likelihoods [PDF]
We consider the problem of drawing samples from posterior distributions formed under a Dirichlet prior and a truncated multinomial likelihood, by which we mean a Multinomial likelihood function where we condition on one or more counts being zero a priori.

A Generalization of the Dirichlet Distribution
This paper discusses a generalization of the Dirichlet distribution, the ‘hyperdirichlet’, in which various types of incomplete observations may be incorporated.

Combinatorial Information Theory: I. Philosophical Basis of Cross-Entropy and Entropy [PDF]
This study critically analyses the information-theoretic, axiomatic and combinatorial philosophical bases of the entropy and cross-entropy concepts. The combinatorial basis is shown to be the most fundamental (most primitive) of these three bases, since ...

FSMJ: Feature Selection with Maximum Jensen-Shannon Divergence for Text Categorization
In this paper, we present a new wrapper feature selection approach based on Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence, termed feature selection with maximum JS-divergence (FSMJ), for text categorization.

A Continuous-time Topic Model for Word Burstiness [PDF]
To solve the problem that traditional topic models based on multinomial distribution cannot properly capture the condition of word burstiness,a continuous-time topic model with Dirichlet Compound Multinomial(DCM) for word burstiness is proposed,which ...

Rcapture: Loglinear Models for Capture-Recapture in R
This article introduces Rcapture, an R package for capture-recapture experiments. The data for analysis consists of the frequencies of the observable capture histories over the t capture occasions of the experiment. A capture history is a vector of zeros

Energy security is one of the major components of energy sustainability in the world’s energy performance. In this study, energy security is taken as an ordinal response variable coming from the multinomial distribution with the energy grade levels A, B,

Linear combination of chi-squares for multinomial process monitoring
: Marcucci (1985) proposed a chi square goodness of fit statistic based generalized p-chart for multinomial process monitoring. A chi square distribution quantile was considered as a control chart limit.

Simulating Longer Vectors of Correlated Binary Random Variables via Multinomial Sampling [PDF]
The ability to simulate correlated binary data is important for sample size calculation and comparison of methods for analysis of clustered and longitudinal data with dichotomous outcomes.

Benford Behavior in Stick Fragmentation Problems
Benford’s law states that in many real-world datasets, the probability that the leading digit is d equals log10((d+1)/d) for all 1≤d≤9. We call this weak Benford behavior.
