Abstract

In this paper, we present recent results in the context of multivariate linear regression models considering that random errors follow multivariate skew scale mixtures of normal distributions. This class of distributions includes the scale mixtures of multivariate normal distributions, as special cases, and provides flexibility in capturing a wide variety of asymmetric behaviors. We implemented the algorithm ECM (Expectation/Conditional Maximization) and we obtained closed-form expressions for all the estimators of the parameters of the proposed model. Inspired by the ECM algorithm, we have developed an influence diagnostics for detecting influential observations to investigate the sensitivity of the maximum likelihood estimators. To examine the performance and the usefulness of the proposed methodology, we present simulation studies and analyze a real dataset.
