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 ...

We present formulas that allow us to decompose a function ƒ of d variables into a sum of 2 d terms f u indexed by subsets u of {1,. . . , d}, where each term f u depends only on the variables with ...

Four new methods for classification of multivariate binary data are presented, based on an orthogonal expansion of the density in terms of discrete Fourier series. The performance of these methods in ...
