Suppose that the random vector (X 1 , ..., X q ) follows a Dirichlet distribution on R q + with parameter ( p 1 , ..., p q ) # R q + . For f 1 , ..., f q >0, it is well-known that . In this paper, we generalize this expectation formula to the singular and non-singular multivariate Dirichlet distrib

In recent papers, Johnson and Kotz (Amer. Statist. 44, 245-249 (1990); Math. Sci. 15, 42-52 (1990)) have explored the utility of moment calculations as a simple way of establishing distributional forms. In particular a characterization theorem for beta distributions has been proved. In this paper th

In this article, we model multivariate categorical (binary and ordinal) response data using a very rich class of scale mixture of multivariate normal (SMMVN) link functions to accommodate heavy tailed distributions. We consider both noninformative as well as informative prior distributions for SMMVN

We address the problem of constructing and identifying a valid joint probability density function from a set of specified conditional densities. The approach taken is based on the development of relations between the joint and the conditional densities using Markov random fields (MRFs). We give a ne
