Pathway models

Abstract

Here, we look at model building in general. First, we will deal with real scalar variable cases. Then generalized models, matrix-variate cases, etc., will be examined. First, let us look at the effect of power transformations and exponentiations on a given model. This will give some ideas about the changes required in a given situation of building models over a given data at hand. When building models for the data in hand, one usually takes a member from a parametric family of functions.
