Efforts to visualize multivariate densities necessarily involve the use of cross-sections, or, equivalently, conditional densities. This book focuses on distributions that are completely specified in terms of conditional densities. They are appropriately used in any modeling situation where conditional information is completely or partially available. All statistical researchers seeking more flexible models than those provided by classical models will find conditionally specified distributions of interest.

Conditionally Specified Distributions available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The concept of conditional specification is not new. It is likely that earlier investigators in this area were deterred by computational difficulties encountered in the analysis of data following con ditionally specified models. Readily available computing power has swept away that roadblock. A broad spectrum of new flexible models may now be added to the researcher's tool box. This mono graph provides a preliminary guide to these models. Further development of inferential techniques, especially those involving concomitant variables, is clearly called for. We are grateful for invaluable assistance in the preparation of this monograph. In Riverside, Carole Arnold made needed changes in grammer and punctuation and Peggy Franklin miraculously transformed minute hieroglyphics into immaculate typescript. In Santander, Agustin Manrique ex pertly transformed rough sketches into clear diagrams. Finally, we thank the University of Cantabria for financial support which made possible Barry C.

Constructing statistical models through the specification of conditional distributions is being recognized as an appealing approach to a multivariate data analysis. A useful class of such models may be formulated by assuming that the conditional distributions are specified as exponential families. The class of exponential family conditional (EFC) models is expected to provide a general model framework that may be applied to a wide variety of situations that may contain complex dependence structures. The overall objective of this study is to develop and refine the general methodology for EFC models. Among a number of EFC models that have been studied so far, the Gaussian conditionals family has attracted a major interest, both theoretically and practically, and has been applied to many problems. Unfortunately, many of the nice properties and results that are available for Gaussian conditionals models are not transferable to non-Gaussian EFC models, and we need to develop adequate procedures for modeling, estimation, and inference for a generalized class of EFC models. Among a number of issues associated with such general EFC models, we are mainly concerned in this study with three problems: (1) developing a general procedure of MRF construction using multi-parameter exponential families, (2) application of the general procedure to a problem of spatial, categorical data analysis, and (3) investigating useful parameterizations of EFC models.
