We discuss a class of chain graph models for categorical variables defined by what we call a multivariate regression chain graph Markov property. First, the set of local independencies of these models ...

Recent advances in estimation techniques have underscored the growing importance of shrinkage estimation and balanced loss functions in the analysis of multivariate normal distributions. These ...

In the paper, the authors extend a function arising from the Bernoulli trials in probability and involving the gamma function to its largest ranges, nd logarithmically complete monotonicity of these ...
