JSM 2005 Online Program

Abstract #302989

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

To View the Program:
You may choose to view all activities of the program or just parts of it at any one time. All activities are arranged by date and time.

Abstract:	We discussed the applications of matric t distribution, which arose naturally in prediction of future response and regression matrices for a multivariate linear model. The predictive distributions of the future response and regressor matrices under the multivariate elliptically contoured distributions are obtained as matric t, which are identical to those obtained under matric normal or matric t distribution. This gives inference robustness with respect to departures from the reference case of independent sampling from the matric normal or dependent, but uncorrelated sampling from matric t distributions. Useful applications of matric t distribution in the field of spatial prediction were discussed.
