Abstract There are two general views in causal analysis of experimental data: the super population view that the units are an independent sample from some hypothetical infinite population, and the finite population view that the potential outcomes of the experimental units are fixed and the...

Although it is the generator distribution of the sixth natural exponential family with quadratic variance function, the Hyperbolic-Secant (HS) distribution is much less known than other distributions in the exponential families. Its lack of familiarity is due to its isolation from many widely...

Heckman selection model is the most popular econometric model in analysis of data with sample selection. However, selection models with Normal errors cannot accommodate heavy tails in the error distribution. Recently, Marchenko and Genton proposed a selection-t model to perform frequentist’...
