Multivariate generalized Laplace distribution and related random fields

Kozubowski, Tomasz J. ; Podgorski, Krzysztof LU and Rychlik, Igor (2013) In Journal of Multivariate Analysis 113. p.59-72
Abstract
Multivariate Laplace distribution is an important stochastic model that accounts for asymmetry and heavier than Gaussian tails, while still ensuring the existence of the second moments. A Levy process based on this multivariate infinitely divisible distribution is known as Laplace motion, and its marginal distributions are multivariate generalized Laplace laws. We review their basic properties and discuss a construction of a class of moving average vector processes driven by multivariate Laplace motion. These stochastic models extend to vector fields, which are multivariate both in the argument and the value. They provide an attractive alternative to those based on Gaussianity, in presence of asymmetry and heavy tails in empirical data. An... (More)
