Dependence Properties of Generalized Liouville Distributions on the Simplex
单纯形上广义Liouville分布的依赖性质
Compositional data arise naturally in several branches of science, including chemistry, geology, biology, medicine, ecology, and manufacturing design. Thus the correct statistical analysis of this type of data is of fundamental importance. Prior to the pioneering and extensive work of Aitchison, the Dirichlet distribution provided the parametric model of choice when analyzing such data. But Aitchison and others have since pointed out that the Dirichlet distribution is…
