Measurement error (errors-in-variables) models are frequently used in various scientific fields, such as engineering, medicine, chemistry, etc. In this work, we consider a new replicated structural measurement error model in which the replicated observations jointly follow scale mixtures of...

Heteroscedasticity checking in regression analysis plays an important role in modelling. It is of great interest when random errors are correlated, including autocorrelated and partial autocorrelated errors. In this paper, we consider multivariate <italic>t</italic> linear regression models, and construct the...

Homogeneity of dispersion parameters is a standard assumption in inverse Gaussian regression analysis. However, this assumption is not necessarily appropriate. This paper is devoted to the test for varying dispersion in general inverse Gaussian linear regression models. Based on the modified...

For the data from multivariate t distributions, it is very hard to make an influence analysis based on the probability density function since its expression is intractable. In this paper, we present a technique for influence analysis based on the mixture distribution and EM algorithm. In fact,...

For the exchangeable binary data with random cluster sizes, we develop an approximately optimal non-parametric procedure for obtaining estimates of the moments of all orders. Moreover, based on this procedure, we can also obtain efficient estimates of underlying parameters of moments of all...

This article devotes to studying the variance change-points problem in student t linear regression models. By exploiting the equivalence of the student t distribution and an appropriate scale mixture of normal distributions, a Bayesian approach combined with Gibbs sampling is developed to detect...

Count data with excess zeros arises in many contexts. Here our concern is to develop a Bayesian analysis for the zero-inflated generalized Poisson (ZIGP) regression model to address this problem. This model provides a useful generalization of zero-inflated Poisson model since the generalized...

This paper analyzes weekly closing price data of the S&P 500 stock index and electrical insulation element lifetimes data based on generalized extreme value distribution. A new estimation method, modified maximum spacings (MSP) method, is proposed and obtained by using interior penalty function...
