Kurtosis tests for multivariate normality with monotone incomplete data [PDF]
We consider the problem of testing multivariate normality when the data consists of a random sample of two-step monotone incomplete observations. We define for such data a generalization of Mardia's statistic for measuring kurtosis, derive the asymptotic non-null distribution of the statistic under certain regularity conditions and against a broad ...

Extraction of the underlying structure of systematic risk from non-Gaussian multivariate financial time series using independent component analysis: Evidence from the Mexican stock exchange [PDF]
Regarding the problems related to multivariate non-Gaussianity of financial time series, i.e., unreliable results in extraction of underlying risk factors -via Principal Component Analysis or Factor Analysis-, we use Independent Component Analysis (ICA ...

Bayesian modelling of skewness and kurtosis with two-piece scale and shape distributions [PDF]
We formalise and generalise the definition of the family of univariate double two--piece distributions, obtained by using a density--based transformation of unimodal symmetric continuous distributions with a shape parameter.

Assessing the ecological relevance of organic discharge limits for constructed wetlands by means of a model-based analysis [PDF]
Polder watercourses within agricultural areas are affected by high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD5) concentrations, due to intensive farming activities and runoff. Practical cases have shown that constructed wetlands (CWs)

Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical analyses have repeatedly demonstrated the impact of outliers on statistical analysis. Most simulation studies generate outliers using one of two general approaches: by multiplying an arbitrary point by a constant ...

Prognostic 18F-FDG Radiomic Features in Advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is an aggressive disease with different clinical outcomes and poor prognosis. This could be due to tumor heterogeneity. The 18F-FDG PET radiomic parameters permit addressing tumor heterogeneity. Nevertheless, this

A multivariate Kolmogorov-Smornov test of goodnes of fit [PDF]
This paper presents a distribution free multivariate Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodıness of fit test. The test uses an statistic which is built using Rosenblatt's transformation and an algorithm is developed to compute it in the bivariate case.

Exploiting skewness to build an optimal hedge fund with a currency overlay [PDF]
This paper documents an investigation into the use of portfolio selection methods to construct a hedge fund with a currency overlay. The fund, which is based on number of international stock and bond market indices and is constructed from the perspective
