On normal variance–mean mixtures

Author

Listed:
  • Yu, Yaming

Abstract

We study shape properties of normal variance–mean mixtures, in both the univariate and multivariate cases, and determine conditions for unimodality and log-concavity of the density functions. We also interpret such results in practical terms and discuss discrete analogues.
