SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF TENSOR-VARIATE SKEW-NORMAL DISTRIBUTION AND ITS APPLICATION IN IMAGE ANALYSIS

چکیده مقاله

In recent years, due to the increasing growth of technology and new technologies, data is obtained in more complex structures as the main component in analysis. One of these complex structures is tensors. Therefore, in order to answer this need (analysis of data with tensor struc- ture), it is necessary to expand statistical concepts and methods in the field of data with tensor structure. On the other hand, in reality, we may also encounter skew data. Therefore, in this article, we have introduced the skew normal tensor distribution and obtained some of its important statistical properties. Subsequently, we employed the EM algorithm to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters and assessed their accuracy through simulation studies. Finally, we have shown the effec- tiveness of the obtained estimators with real data
