The multivariate power exponential distribution, or multivariate exponential power distribution, is a multidimensional extension of the one-dimensional or univariate power exponential distribution. Gomez-Villegas (1998) and Sanchez-Manzano et al. (2002) proposed multivariate and matrix generalizations of the PE family of distributions and studied their properties in relation to multivariate Elliptically Contoured (EC) distributions.
The multivariate power exponential distribution includes the multivariate normal distribution (kappa = 1) and multivariate Laplace distribution (kappa = 0.5) as special cases, depending on the kurtosis or kappa parameter. A multivariate uniform occurs as kappa -> infinity.
If the goal is to use a multivariate Laplace distribution, the
dmvlc
function will perform faster and more accurately.
In practice, U is fully unconstrained for proposals
when its diagonal is log-transformed. The diagonal is exponentiated
after a proposal and before other calculations. Overall, the Cholesky
parameterization is faster than the traditional parameterization.
Compared with dmvpe
, dmvpec
must additionally
matrix-multiply the Cholesky back to the covariance matrix, but it
does not have to check for or correct the covariance matrix to
positive-definiteness, which overall is slower. Compared with
rmvpe
, rmvpec
is faster because the Cholesky decomposition
has already been performed.
The rmvpec
function is a modified form of the rmvpowerexp function
in the MNM package.
dmvpec
gives the density and
rmvpec
generates random deviates.
