A CLASS OF MAXIMUM ENTROPY BIVARIATE DISTRIBUTIONS WITH GAMMA
AND EXPONENTIAL POWER DISTRIBUTION CONDITIONALS
Mohamed Yusuf Hassan (UAE)
|
Abstract: In this paper we show that a special case of the general class
of
the bivariate distributions proposed by Hassan and Lii [J.
Amer. Statist. Assoc. (2006), accepted] is a maximum
entropy distribution. The marginals and the conditional distributions of these
classes include some of the widely used univariate distributions in many
scientific fields. |
Keywords and phrases: maximum entropy, symmetric exponential power distribution,
class of bivariate distributions. |
