Abstract. We present a novel algorithm for approximating the parameters of a multivariate t-distribution. At the expense of a slightly decreased accuracy in the estimates, the prop...
Market research has shown that consumers exhibit a variety of different purchasing behaviors; specifically, some tend to purchase products earlier than other consumers. Identifyin...
