      Arrué, Jaime; Gómez, Héctor W.; Salinas, Hugo S.; Bolfarine, Heleno (Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2015-06)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In this paper we study a new class of skew-Cauchy distributions inspired on the family extended two-piece skew normal distribution. The new family of distributions encompasses three well known families of distributions, ...
    • A note on the likelihood and moments of the skew-normal distribution 

      Martínez, E. H.; Varela, H.; Gómez, H. W.; Bolfarine, Heleno (Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2008)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In this paper an alternative approach to the one in Henze (1986) is proposed for deriving the odd moments of the skew-normal distribution considered in Azzalini (1985). The approach is based on a Pascal type triangle, which ...
    • An extension of the slash-elliptical distribution 

      Rojas, Mario A.; Bolfarine, Heleno; Gómez, Héctor W. (Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2014-12-04)
      Article
      Accés obert
      This paper introduces an extension of the slash-elliptical distribution. This new distribution is generated as the quotient between two independent random variables, one from the elliptical family (numerator) and the other ...
    • Influence diagnostics in exponentiated-Weibull regression models with censored data. 

      Ortega, Edwin M. M.; Cancho, Vicente G.; Bolfarine, Heleno (Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2006)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Diagnostic methods have been an important tool in regression analysis to detect anomalies, such as departures from the error assumptions and the presence of outliers and influential observations with the fitted models. The ...
    • Likelihood-based inference for the power regression model 

      Martínez-Flórez, Guillermo; Bolfarine, Heleno; Gómez, Héctor W. (Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2015-12)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In this paper we investigate an extension of the power-normal model, called the alpha-power model and specialize it to linear and nonlinear regression models, with and without correlated errors. Maximum likelihood estimation ...
    • Two alternative estimation procedures for the negative binomial cure rate model with a latent activation scheme 

      Gallardo, Diego I.; Bolfarine, Heleno (Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2016-06-17)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In this paper two alternative estimation procedures based on the EM algorithm are proposed forthe flexible negative binomial cure rate model with a latent activation scheme. The Weibull modelas well as the log-normal and ...
