Abstract

The goal of this project is to present a study of estimation and diagnostic analysis for the multivariate log- Birnbaum-Saunders regression models based on {\it scale mixture of skew-normal distributions} (SMSN) (Branco and Dey, 2001): We first will consider a estimation study based on the modified moment method for multivariate Birnbaum-Saunders distributions (based on the symmetric SMSN distribution). Next, a multivariate log- Birnbaum-Saunders regression model will be proposed based on the SMSN distribution, which is a multivariate extension of the log- Birnbaum-Saunders regression models proposed by Rieck and Nedelman (1991) and Romeiro et al. (2020). Estimation and diagnostic analysis Cook, 1986; Zu and Lee, 2001) will be developed for the proposed regression model; see more details at the end of manuscript. The maximum likelihood estimates will be obtained by an EM algorithm. This regression model extends the results of Romeiro et al. (2020). (AU)
