In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviors of the extreme of mixed skew-t distribution. We considered limits on distribution and density of maximum of mixed skew-t distribution under linear and power normalization, and further derived their higher-order expansions, respectively. Examples are given to support our findings.

Skew-Gaussian processes (SkewGPs) extend the multivariate Unified Skew-Normal distributions over finite dimensional vectors to distribution over functions. SkewGPs are more general and flexible than Gaussian processes, as SkewGPs may also represent asymmetric distributions. In a recent contribution we showed that SkewGP and probit likelihood are conjugate, which allows us to compute the exact posterior for non-parametric binary classification and preference learning. In this paper, we generalize previous results and we prove that SkewGP is conjugate with both the normal and affine probit likel…
In longitudinal studies, repeated measures are collected over time and hence they tend to be serially correlated. In this paper we consider an extension of skew-normal/independent linear mixed models introduced by Lachos et al. (2010), where the error term has a dependence structure, such as damped exponential correlation or autoregressive correlation of order p. The proposed model provides flexibility in capturing the effects of skewness and heavy tails simultaneously when continuous repeated measures are serially correlated. For this robust model, we present an efficient EM-type algorithm fo…
In clinical trials, studies often present longitudinal data or clustered data. These studies are commonly analyzed using linear mixed models (LMMs), usually considering Gaussian assumptions for random effect and error terms. Recently, several proposals extended the restrictive assumptions from traditional LMM by more flexible ones that can accommodate skewness and heavy-tails and consequently are more robust to outliers. This work proposes a canonical fundamental skew-t linear mixed model (ST-LMM), that allows for asymmetric and heavy-tailed random effects and errors and includes several impor…
We give a thorough description of the asymptotic property of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the skewness parameter of a Skew Brownian Motion (SBM). Thanks to recent results on the Central Limit Theorem of the rate of convergence of estimators for the SBM, we prove a conjecture left open that the MLE has asymptotically a mixed normal distribution involving the local time with a rate of convergence of order $1/4$. We also give a series expansion of the MLE and study the asymptotic behavior of the score and its derivatives, as well as their variation with the skewness parameter. In par…
In this paper, we compute doubly truncated moments for the selection elliptical (SE) class of distributions, which includes some multivariate asymmetric versions of well-known elliptical distributions, such as, the normal, Student's t, slash, among others. We address the moments for doubly truncated members of this family, establishing neat formulation for high order moments as well as for its first two moments. We establish sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of these truncated moments. Further, we propose optimized methods able to deal with extreme setting of the parameters…
This paper develops recurrence relations for integrals that relate the density of multivariate extended skew-normal (ESN) distribution, including the well-known skew-normal (SN) distribution introduced by Azzalini and Dalla-Valle (1996) and the popular multivariate normal distribution. These recursions offer a fast computation of arbitrary order product moments of the multivariate truncated extended skew-normal and multivariate folded extended skew-normal distributions with the product moments as a byproduct. In addition to the recurrence approach, we realized that any arbitrary moment of the …
Dispersive order is a type of variability order for comparing the variability in probability distributions. Star order compares the skewness of probability distributions. This work considers dispersive and star orders of extreme order statistics from dependent random variables following the proportional odds (PO) model. The joint distribution of the random variables is modeled with Archimedean copula. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the findings.
This paper proposes a unified class of generalized location-scale mixture of multivariate elliptical distributions and studies integral stochastic orderings of random vectors following such distributions. Given a random vector $\boldsymbol{Z}$, independent of $\boldsymbol{X}$ and $\boldsymbol{Y}$, the scale parameter of this class of distributions is mixed with a function $α(\boldsymbol{Z})$ and its skew parameter is mixed with another function $β(\boldsymbol{Z})$. Sufficient (and necessary) conditions are established for stochastically comparing different random vectors stemming from this cla…

"Mixed Data" comprising a large number of heterogeneous variables (e.g. count, binary, continuous, skewed continuous, among other data types) are prevalent in varied areas such as genomics and proteomics, imaging genetics, national security, social networking, and Internet advertising. There have been limited efforts at statistically modeling such mixed data jointly, in part because of the lack of computationally amenable multivariate distributions that can capture direct dependencies between such mixed variables of different types. In this paper, we address this by introducing a novel class o…
