Modelling such data often relies on matrix-variate normal distributions, making matrix-variate normality testing crucial for valid statistical inference. Recently, the Distance-Distance (DD) plot has been introduced as a graphical tool for visually assessing matrix-variate normality. However, the Mahalanobis-squared distances (MSD) used in the DD plot require vectorizing matrix observations, restricting its applicability to cases where the dimension of the vectorized data does not exceed the sample size. To address this limitation, we propose a novel graphical method called the Matrix Healy (MatHealy) plot, an extension of the Healy plot for vector-valued data. This new plot is based on matrix-based MSD that leverages the inherent structure of matrix data. Consequently, it offers a more reliable visual assessment. Importantly, the MatHealy plot eliminates the sample size restriction of the DD plot and hence more applicable to matrix-valued data. Empirical results demonstrate its effectiveness and practicality compared to the DD plot across various scenarios, particularly in cases where the DD plot is not available due to limited sample sizes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55428,"journal":{"name":"Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics","volume":"68 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149145601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He went on to study at the University of London, London School of Economics, graduating with a Master of Science degree in 1967.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He won a Leverhulme Scholarship to study in Professor Pat Moran's Department of Statistics in the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Australian National University. He commenced his study there in 1968. Professor Moran suggested the topic of branching processes as a research area and asked Eugene Seneta, then a young Lecturer in the Department of Statistics, School of General Studies, the primarily teaching part of ANU, to look after Malcolm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Malcolm's research went well, and a joint paper on branching processes, Quine and Seneta (&lt;span&gt;1969&lt;/span&gt;), was published in the &lt;i&gt;Australian Journal of Statistics&lt;/i&gt;. This work enabled Malcolm to enrol as a PhD student with Moran and Seneta as supervisors. Seneta was the principal supervisor guiding the research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Malcolm was awarded his PhD in 1971 for his thesis entitled &lt;i&gt;Multitype Galton-Watson Processes&lt;/i&gt;. During his time at ANU, Malcolm rode a light motorbike round the campus as the two Statistics Departments were at opposite edges of the campus. At ANU Malcolm met his first wife Sue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1972, he took up an appointment as a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Sydney. The Department Head at that time was Professor H.O. Lancaster. Malcolm stayed at the University of Sydney until his retirement in 2005, being promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1977 and Associate Professor in 1995.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He continued to publish high-quality research in the area of branching processes over a 30-year period, with several papers being joint with Wladek Szczotka, from the University of Wrocław.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the University of Sydney Malcolm established a long collaboration with John Robinson. They published several papers on limit theorems for scores based on occupancy numbers, three of which appeared in &lt;i&gt;The Annals of Probability&lt;/i&gt;. They also had a major paper Quine and Robinson (&lt;span&gt;1985&lt;/span&gt;) on chi-square goodness-of-fit tests published in &lt;i&gt;The Annals of Statistics&lt;/i&gt;. Chi-square research was a well-established theme at the University of Sydney in the Lancaster years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eugene Seneta joined Malcolm at the University of Sydney as Professor and Head in mid-1979. They published a further two papers together in &lt;span&gt;1987&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt;. In 1993, following the demise of the Soviet Union, the two made a memorable and adventurous trip to the First World Congress on Branching Processes in Varna, Bulgaria.

Photograph courtesy of Twin Research Australia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The scientific world has mourned the loss of Professor John L. Hopper, AM, an outstanding biostatistician/epidemiologist who died after collapsing unexpectedly at a scientific meeting attended by Australian and international colleagues. He is remembered as a warm friend and colleague, honoured for his vision, his scientific achievements and his productivity. His leadership and seminal research transformed our understanding of how genes and environment interact to influence human health and disease, effectively establishing the discipline of genetic epidemiology in Australia. John Hopper left a great legacy not only through his work, but also through his passionate mentorship of generations of researchers and his unwavering commitment to generating rigorous evidence and following it wherever it led.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John grew up in a family that valued learning; his father, Victor Hopper, was professor of physics at the University of Melbourne and internationally known for his research on cosmic rays. John was similarly gifted. He was a top student at Box Hill High School in 1968 and later graduated with a BSc (Hons) and MSc from Monash University with prizes in maths and statistics. He first worked with the University of Melbourne from 1974 as a part-time tutor in mathematics and statistics before enrolling for his PhD with the Department of Mathematical Statistics at La Trobe University under the supervision of Professors Peter Brockwell and Niels Becker. In March 1980, John finished his PhD thesis entitled ‘Applications of Stochastic Models to Cell Kinetics and Epidemiology’ and looked for suitable employment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a young academic, John read widely in biostatistics and genetics and was greatly influenced by the work of RA Fisher and Sewall Wright. He was quick to realise that causal pathways could be better understood by using twin and family-based designs to estimate genetic and environmental effects. His enquiring mind also led him to take a deep interest in health and social issues, influencing his commitment to work in a health-related area of statistics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was my good fortune to meet John in 1980, to work closely with him for 5 years, and to become his long-time friend. In 1975, I had returned to Melbourne from my post-doctoral time in Oxford with Richard Doll and Richard Peto. With encouragement from Richard Lovell, and support from Nigel Gray at the Cancer Council, we had established a small epidemiological unit at the University of Melbourne and begun recruiting twins for research purposes in partnership with Nick Martin at ANU. By 1980, with NHMRC support, we were able to establish the Australian NHMRC Twin Registry, or Twin Research Australia, as it was subsequently known. That initial funding allowed us to employ John Hopper in full-time research. It was the start of his outstanding research career with the University of Melbourne.

It is also common to find longitudinal data where the assumption of asymmetry and/or heavy tails is necessary for the distribution associated with the outcome(s) and also where we do not know the relationship between these outcome(s) and the covariates. In these situations we can use the scale mixture of skew-normal distributions and the partially linear models. Said that, in this article, we developed estimating functions for the additive partially linear models based on the scale mixture of skew-normal distributions using a centred parameterisation.

In addition, corresponding criteria for evaluating their predictive performance are established. An extensive simulation study analyses the performance of the coherent forecasting techniques across various ordinal DGPs, taking into account the impact of estimated model parameters and model misspecification. The proposed forecasting approaches are then applied to our central motivating application, the real-world time series on ordinal air quality levels and practical implications are discussed. In this context, it is also demonstrated that the coherent point and pmf forecasts can be combined visually in a meaningful and interpretable way.
