β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we introduce center-similar multivariate distributions (CSDs) based on the vertical density representation theory. A number of families of CSDs are constructed and related statistical problems are brie y examined.

A random vector is said to be of (multivariate) phase-type if it can be represented as the vector of random times until absorptions into various stochastically closed subsets of the ΓΏnite state space in an absorbing Markov chain. The phase-type distributions are useful since Markovian methods may be
Statistical depth functions are being used increasingly in nonparametric multivariate data analysis. In a broad treatment of depth-based methods, Liu, Parelius, and Singh (''Multivariate analysis by date depth: Descriptive statistics, graphics and inference (with discussion),'' 1999) include several
