We introduce a class of multivariate dispersion models suitable as error distributions for generalized linear models with multivariate non-normal responses. The models preserve some of the main properties of the multivariate normal distribution, and include the elliptically contoured distributions and certain other known distributions as special cases. We give explicit methods for constructing multivariate proper dispersion models. This is exemplified by constructing multivariate gamma, Laplace, hyperbola, and von Mises distributions.

Likelihood ratio tests for detecting a single outlier in multivariate linear models are considered, where an observation is called an outlier if there has been a shift in the mean. The test statistics are the maximum of n nonindependent statistics, where n is the number of observations. Relevant dis
## Abstract In this paper we present a definition of multivariate increasing failure rate based on the concept of multivariate dispersion. This new definition is an extension of the univariate characterization of increasing failure rate distributions under dispersive ordering of the residual lives.
