The Exact Joint Distribution of Concomitants of Order Statistics and Their Order Statistics under Normality

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2013
In this work we derive the exact joint distribution of a linear combination of concomitants of order statistics and linear combinations of their order statistics in a multivariate normal distribution.

Comparison of Risk Ratios of Shrinkage Estimators in High Dimensions

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
In this paper, we analyze the risk ratios of several shrinkage estimators using a balanced loss function. The James–Stein estimator is one of a group of shrinkage estimators that has been proposed in the existing literature.

Kullback–Leibler Divergence Measure for Multivariate Skew-Normal Distributions

open access: yesEntropy, 2012
The aim of this work is to provide the tools to compute the well-known Kullback–Leibler divergence measure for the flexible family of multivariate skew-normal distributions.

On shrinkage estimators improving the positive part of James-Stein estimator

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2021
In this work, we study the estimation of the multivariate normal mean by different classes of shrinkage estimators. The risk associated with the quadratic loss function is used to compare two estimators. We start by considering a class of estimators that

A study of minimax shrinkage estimators dominating the James-Stein estimator under the balanced loss function

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2022
One of the most common challenges in multivariate statistical analysis is estimating the mean parameters. A well-known approach of estimating the mean parameters is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE).

On the conditional distribution of a multivariate Normal given a transformation – the linear case

open access: yesHeliyon, 2019
We show that the orthogonal projection operator onto the range of the adjoint T⁎ of a linear operator T can be represented as UT, where U is an invertible linear operator. Given a Normal random vector Y and a linear operator T, we use this representation

A Characterization of the Multivariate Normal Distribution

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1971
In this paper we characterize the multivariate normal distribution through the mean vector of the distribution. In Theorem 3, we find that the multivariate normal distribution can also be characterized through its variance, even though unknown, provided the variance-covariance matrix is free of the parameter involved.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Note on the moment generating function of the multivariate normal distribution

open access: yesMiskolc Mathematical Notes
We present a streamlined proof of a formula for the derivatives of the moment generating function of the multivariate normal distribution. We formulate it in terms of the summation of the contractions by pairings, which encodes a combinatorial ...
