Beschreibung
This book presents a general method for deriving higher-order statistics of multivariate distributions with simple algorithms that allow for actual calculations. Multivariate nonlinear statistical models require the study of higher-order moments and cumulants. The main tool used for the definitions is the tensor derivative, leading to several useful expressions concerning Hermite polynomials, moments, cumulants, skewness, and kurtosis. A general test of multivariate skewness and kurtosis is obtained from this treatment. Exercises are provided for each chapter to help the readers understand the methods. Lastly, the book includes a comprehensive list of references, equipping readers to explore further on their own.

“The book under review is a very well-written monograph, which gives an up-to-date, self-contained, and thorough analysis of the cumulants and related statistical measures like the skewness and kurtosis for non-Gaussian multivariate distributions. From my point of view, the author has written an interesting book, which could be a reference book for researchers interested in multivariate analysis as well as text for advanced graduate-level courses.” (Apostolos Batsidis, zbMATH 1512.62005, 2023)
