This paper first proposes two criteria to define a sensu stricto multivariate discrete distribution. It then introduces the class of splitting distributions that encompasses all usual multivariate discrete distributions (multinomial, negative multinomial, multivariate hypergeometric, multivariate neg- ative hypergeometric, etc . . . ) and contains several new. Many advantages derive from the compound aspect of split- ting distributions. It simplifies the study of their characteris- tics, inferences, interpretations and extensions to regression models. Moreover, splitting models can be estimated only by combining existing methods, as illustrated on three datasets with reproducible studies.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.02074v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.02074v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"splitting-models-for-multivariate-count-data","repo_url":"https://github.com/StatisKit/FPD18","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
