This paper develops a multi-way analysis of variance for non-Gaussian multivariate distributions and provides a practical simulation algorithm to estimate the corresponding components of variance. It specifically addresses variance in Bayesian predictive distributions, showing that it may be...

In this paper we take up Bayesian inference in multivariate stable distributions through innovative multivariate stable copulae. The problem that the characteristic function is defined through a difficult object, the spectral measure is completely bypassed by our approach. The new methods are...

In this paper we take up Bayesian inference in general multivariate stable distributions. We exploit the representation of Matsui and Takemura (2009) for univariate projections, and the representation of the distributions in terms of their spectral measure. We present e cient MCMC schemes to...

In this paper we take up Bayesian inference in general, multivariate stable distributions. We use approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) along with carefully crafted proposal distributions for the implementation of MCMC. The problem of selecting summary statistics in ABC is resolved through the...
