  • Phillial Oh

20 September 2012

We investigate cosmological consequences of nonlinear sigma model coupled with a cosmological fluid which satisfies the continuity equation. The target space action is of the de Sitter type and is composed of four scalar fields. The potential which i...

Kullback–Leibler Divergence Measure for Multivariate Skew-Normal Distributions

  • Javier E. Contreras-Reyes and
  • Reinaldo B. Arellano-Valle

4 September 2012

The aim of this work is to provide the tools to compute the well-known Kullback–Leibler divergence measure for the flexible family of multivariate skew-normal distributions. In particular, we use the Jeffreys divergence measure to compare the multiva...
