The multivariate t distribution and other normal/independent multivariate distributions, such as the multivariate slash distribution and the multivariate contaminated distribution, are used for robust ...

We consider two approaches to robust estimation for the Box-Cox power-transformation model. One approach maximizes weighted, modified likelihoods. A second approach ...

Linear regression-based quantitative trait loci/association mapping methods such as least squares commonly assume normality of residuals. In genetics studies of plants or animals, some quantitative ...
