The construction of a distance function between probability distributions is of importance in mathematical statistics and its applications. The distance function based on the Fisher information metric has been studied by a number of statisticians, especially in the case of the multivariate normal di
We present two methods of constructing multivariate compound distributions and investigate the corresponding infinitely divisible and compound Poisson distributions. We then show that the multivariate compound Poisson distributions can be derived as the limiting distributions of the sums of independ
proved a relation between the primitives of the classes 8 d (2) and 8 d (1) of 2-and 1-symmetric characteristic functions on R d , respectively. We will give a straightforward proof of his relation, answering a question of his. To do this we use the calculus of generalized hypergeometric functions.
We consider a simple general construct, that of marginal replacement in a multivariate distribution, that provides, in particular, an interesting way of producing distributions that have a skew marginal from spherically symmetric starting points. Particular examples include a new multivariate beta d
