In this paper, we extend the definition of weighted residual and past entropies to bivariate setup and obtain some of its properties. Several properties, including monotonicity and bounds of BWRE and BWRP are obtained. We also look into the problem of extending WRE and WPE for conditionally specified models. Several properties, including bounds of CWRE and CWPE are obtained for conditional distributions. It is shown that the proposed measure uniquely determines the distribution function.","PeriodicalId":326924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Statistical Society.

Our method—bisector regression for contingency tables (BRCT)—is based on a nested structure of contingency table models. Our method estimates parameters corresponding to the interactions of lower orders after estimating or eliminating those of higher orders. BRCTgenerates a sequence of parameter estimates, each element of which represents a model and a parameter estimate. The length of the sequence is equal to the number of parameters, which is much smaller than the total number of models. We describe the BRCTalgorithm and show an example.

Although a normality is assumed to the distribution of the candidate model, we frame the situation as that the assumption of normality may be violated. The conditions for consistency are derived from two types of asymptotic theory; one is based on a large-sample asymptotic framework in which only the sample size approaches∞, and the other is based on a high-dimensional asymptotic framework in which the sample size and the dimension of the vector of response variables simultaneously approach ∞. In both cases, our results are free of the influence of nonnormality in the true distribution.","PeriodicalId":326924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Statistical Society.
