The barely known continuous reciprocal inverse Gaussian distribution is used in this paper to introduce the Poisson-reciprocal inverse Gaussian discrete distribution. Several of its most relevant statistical properties are examined, some of them directly inherited from the reciprocal of the inverse Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, a mixed Poisson regression model that uses the reciprocal inverse Gaussian as mixing distribution is presented. Parameters estimation in this regression model is performed via an EM type algorithm. In light of the numerical results displayed in the paper, the distributions introduced in this work are competitive with the classical negative binomial and Poisson-inverse Gaussian distributions.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The non parametric approach is considered to estimate probability density function (Pdf) which is supported on(0, ∞). This approach is the inverse gamma kernel. We show that it has same properties as gamma, reciprocal inverse Gaussian, and inverse Gaussian kernels such that it is free of the boundary bias, non negative, and it achieves the optimal rate of convergence for the mean integrated squared error. Also some properties of the estimator were established such as bias and variance. Comparison of the bandwidth selection methods for inverse gamma kernel estimation of Pdf is done.  相似文献

Several types of multivariate extensions of the inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution and the reciprocal inverse Gaussian (RIG) distribution are proposed. Some of these types are obtained as random-additive-effect models by means of well-known convolution properties of the IG and RIG distributions, and they have one-dimensional IG or RIG marginals. They are used to define a flexible class of multivariate Poisson mixtures.  相似文献

Critical values are presented for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov type test statistics for the following three cases: (i) the gamma distribution when both the scale and the shape parameters are not known, (ii) the scale parameter of the gamma distribution is not known and (iii) the inverse Gaussian distribution when both the parameters are unknown. This study was motivated by the necessity to fit the gamma, the Erlang-2 and the inverse Gaussian distributions to the interpurchase times of individuals for coffee in marketing research.  相似文献

A general form for characterizing inverse Gaussian and Wald distributions, based on their respective length-biased distributions, is introduced. Further results for characterizations of the gamma distribution, the negative binomial distribution and some mixtures of them by using their lengthbiased distributions are establised.  相似文献

In this paper, we derive prediction distribution of future response(s) from the normal distribution assuming a generalized inverse Gaussian (GIG) prior density for the variance. The GIG includes as special cases the inverse Gaussian, the inverted chi-squared and gamma distributions. The results lead to Bessel-type prediction distributions which is in contrast with the Student-t distributions usually obtained using the inverted chi-squared prior density for the variance. Further, the general structure of GIG provides us with new flexible prediction distributions which include as special cases most of the earlier results obtained under normal-inverted chi-squared or vague priors.  相似文献

Matsumoto and Yor [2001. An analogue of Pitman's 2M-X2M-X theorem for exponential Wiener functionals. Part II: the role of the GIG laws. Nagoya Math. J. 162, 65–86] discovered an interesting invariance property of a product of the generalized inverse Gaussian (GIG) and the gamma distributions. For univariate random variables or symmetric positive definite random matrices it is a characteristic property for this pair of distributions. It appears that for random vectors the Matsumoto–Yor property characterizes only very special families of multivariate GIG and gamma distributions: components of the respective random vectors are grouped into independent subvectors, each subvector having linearly dependent components. This complements the version of the multivariate Matsumoto–Yor property on trees and related characterization obtained in Massam and Weso?owski [2004. The Matsumoto–Yor property on trees. Bernoulli 10, 685–700].  相似文献

This paper considers a generalization of the exponential type distributions in the class of exponential families. A characterization and a method of generating an exponential family from a given family are given. In particular the generalized gamma, the generalized Poisson, the inverse Gaussian distributions belonging to this family are discussed. The approximations of the cumulative sums for the generalized gamma and the generalized Poisson by the Chi-square are considered. Some of the results are extended to the bivariate case.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a new probability model called the log-EIG distribution for lifetime data analysis. Some important properties of the proposed model and maximum likelihood estimation of its parameters are discussed. Its relationship with the exponential inverse Gaussian distribution is similar to that of the lognormal and the normal distributions. Through applications to well-known datasets, we show that the log-EIG distribution competes well, and in some instances even provides a better fit than the commonly used lifetime models such as the gamma, lognormal, Weibull and inverse Gaussian distributions. It can accommodate situations where an increasing failure rate model is required as well as those with a decreasing failure rate at larger times.  相似文献

Multivariate inverse Gaussian distribution proposed by Minami [2003. A multivariate extension of inverse Gaussian distribution derived from inverse relationship. Commun. Statist. Theory Methods 32(12), 2285–2304] was derived through multivariate inverse relationship with multivariate Gaussian distributions and characterized as the distribution of the location at a certain stopping time of a multivariate Brownian motion. In this paper, we show that the multivariate inverse Gaussian distribution is also a limiting distribution of multivariate Lagrange distributions, which is a family of waiting time distributions, under certain conditions.  相似文献

The two parameter inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution is often more appropriate and convenient for modelling and analysis of nonnegative right skewed data than the better known and now ubiquitous Gaussian distribution. Its convenience stems from its analytic simplicity and the striking similarities of its methodologies with those employed with the normal theory models. These, known as the G–IG analogies, include the concepts and measures of IG-symmetry, IG-skewness and IG-kurtosis, the IG-analogues of the corresponding classical notions and measures. The new IG-associated entities, although well defined and mathematically transparent, are intuitively and conceptually opaque. In this paper, we first elaborate the importance of the IG distribution and of the G–IG analogies. Then we consider the IG-related root-reciprocal IG (RRIG) distribution and introduce a physically transparent, conceptually clear notion of reciprocal symmetry (R-symmetry) and use it to explain the IG-symmetry. We study the moments and mixture properties of the R-symmetric distributions and the relationship of R-symmetry with IG-symmetry and note that RRIG distribution provides a link, in addition to Tweedie's Laplace transform link, between the Gaussian and inverse Gaussian distributions. We also give a structural characterization of the unimodal R-symmetric distributions. This work further expands the long list of G–IG analogies. Several applications including product convolution, monotonicity of power functions, peakedness and monotone limit theorems of R-symmetry are outlined.  相似文献

This article introduces graphical procedures for assessing the fit of the gamma distribution. The procedures are based on a standardized version of the cumulant generating function. Plots with bands of 95% simultaneous confidence level are developed by utilizing asymptotic and finite-sample results. The plots have linear scales and do not rely on the use of tables or values of special functions. Further, it is found through simulation, that the goodness-of-fit test implied by these plots compares favorably with respect to power to other known tests for the gamma distribution in samples drawn from lognormal and inverse Gaussian distributions.  相似文献

Summary.  We show that the family of tempered stable distributions has considerable potential for modelling cell generation time data. Several real examples illustrate how these distributions can improve on currently assumed models, including the gamma and inverse Gaussian distributions which arise as special cases. Our applications concentrate on the generation times of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Numerical inversion of the Laplace transform of the probability density function provides fast and accurate approximations to the tempered stable density, for which no closed form generally exists. We also show how the asymptotic population growth rate is easily calculated under a tempered stable model.  相似文献

This paper discusses the tests for departures from nominal dispersion in the framework of generalized nonlinear models with varying dispersion and/or additive random effects. We consider two classes of exponential family distributions. The first is discrete exponential family distributions, such as Poisson, binomial, and negative binomial distributions. The second is continuous exponential family distributions, such as normal, gamma, and inverse Gaussian distributions. Correspondingly, we develop a unifying approach and propose several tests for testing for departures from nominal dispersion in two classes of generalized nonlinear models. The score test statistics are constructed and expressed in simple, easy to use, matrix formulas, so that the tests can easily be implemented using existing statistical software. The properties of test statistics are investigated through Monte Carlo simulations.  相似文献

Generalized Inverse Gaussian Distributions and their Wishart Connections   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The matrix generalized inverse Gaussian distribution (MGIG) is shown to arise as a conditional distribution of components of a Wishart distributio n. In the special scalar case, the characterization refers to members of the class of generalized inverse Gaussian distributions (GIGs) and includes the inverse Gaussian distribution among others  相似文献

This work considers two specific estimation techniques for the family-specific proportional hazards model and for the population-averaged proportional hazards model. So far, these two estimation procedures were presented and studied under the gamma frailty distribution mainly because of its simple interpretation and mathematical tractability. Modifications of both procedures for other frailty distributions, such as the inverse Gaussian, positive stable and a specific case of discrete distribution, are presented. By extensive simulations, it is shown that under the family-specific proportional hazards model, the gamma frailty model appears to be robust to frailty distribution mis-specification in both bias and efficiency loss in the marginal parameters. The population-averaged proportional hazards model, is found to be robust under the gamma frailty model mis-specification only under moderate or weak dependency within cluster members.  相似文献

Results are given of an empirical power study of three statistical procedures for testing for exponentiality of several independent samples. The test procedures are the Tiku (1974) test, a multi-sample Durbin (1975) test, and a multi-sample Shapiro–Wilk (1972) test. The alternative distributions considered in the study were selected from the gamma, Weibull, Lomax, lognormal, inverse Gaussian, and Burr families of positively skewed distributions. The general behavior of the conditional mean exceedance function is used to classify each alternative distribution. It is shown that Tiku's test generally exhibits overall greater power than either of the other two test procedures. For certain alternative distributions, Shapiro–Wilk's test is superior when the sample sizes are small.  相似文献

Erratum     
For a random variable obeying the inverse Gaussian distribu-tion and its reciprocal, the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimators of each mode are obtained. The UMVU estimators

of the left and right limits of a certain interval which contains an inverse Gaussian variate with an arbitrary given probability are also proposed.  相似文献
