We study a multivariate extension of the univariate exponential dispersion Tweedie family of distributions. The class, referred to as the multi-variate Tweedie family (MTwF), on the one hand includes multivariate Poisson, gamma, inverse Gaussian, stable and compound Poisson distributions and on...

Brown et al. (2006) derive a Stein-type inequality for the multivariate Student-t distribution. We generalize their result to the family of (multivariate) generalized hyperbolic distributions and derive a lower bound for the variance of a function of a random variable
