โฆ Synopsis
The multivariate distributions whose characteristic functions satisfy a given integrated functional equation are proved to be essentially multivariate stable (semi-stable) distributions. This generalizes the characterization of univariate distributions in Ramachandran and Rao (1970), Shimizu (1968, 1978), Davies andShimizu (1976), andRamachandran et al. (1988). Related characterization problems such as identically distributed, and zero regressions of linear statistics are also discussed. @ 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

This paper characterizes a class of multivariate survival functions in terms of the minimum and marginal distributions.
In this paper, we take the characteristic function approach to goodness-of-fit tests. It has several advantages over existing methods: First, unlike the popular comparison density function approach suggested in Parzen (1979), our approach is applicable to both univariate and multivariate data; Secon
The optimal bandwidth of the d-dimensional kernel estimator of a density is well known to have order n l.,(4+d). In this note, the multivariate distribution function F(x) is estimated by integrating a kernel estimator of its density. The asymptotic optimal bandwidth of the d-dimensional kernel dist
m this paper, we shall apply an operator method for casting and solving the distributional analog of functional equations. In particular, the method will be employed to solve fi(z + y) + fz(z -y) + fs(2y) = 0.
