| ==Definition==
| |
| Exponential dispersion models are a generalisation of the [[natural exponential family]]: these have a [[probability density function]] which, for a multivariate model, can be written as
| |
| :<math> f_X(\mathbf{x}|\boldsymbol{\theta}) = h(\mathbf{x}) \exp(\boldsymbol\theta^\top \mathbf{x} - A(\boldsymbol\theta)) \,\! ,</math> | |
| where the parameter <math>\boldsymbol\theta</math> has the same dimension as the observation variable <math>\mathbf{x}</math>. The generalisation includes an extra scalar "index parameter", <math>\lambda</math>, and has density function of the form<ref name=J1987/>
| |
| :<math> f_X(\mathbf{x}|\lambda,\boldsymbol{\theta}) = h(\lambda,\mathbf{x}) \exp (\lambda [\boldsymbol\theta^\top \mathbf{x} - A(\boldsymbol\theta)] ) \,\! .</math>
| |
| The terminology "dispersion parameter" is used for <math>\sigma^2=\lambda^{-1}</math>, while <math>\boldsymbol\theta</math> is the "natural parameter" (also known as "canonical parameter").

Hello from Great Britain. I'm glad to came across you. My first name is Carley.
I live in a small town called Scalby in nothern Great Britain.
I was also born in Scalby 32 years ago. Married in February 2007. I'm working at the the office.
