Abstract: The multivariate t distribution and other normal/independent multivariate distributions, such as the multivariate slash distribution and the multivariate contaminated distribution, are used for robust regression with complete or incomplete data. Most previous work focused on the method of maximum likelihood estimation for linear regression using normal/independent distributions. This article considers Bayesian estimation of multivariate linear regression models using normal/independent distributions with fully observed predictor variables and possible missing values from outcome variables. A monotone data augmentation algorithm for posterior simulation of the parameters and missing data imputation is presented. The posterior distributions of functions of the parameters can be obtained using Monte Carlo methods. The monotone data augmentation algorithm can also be used for creating multiple imputations for incomplete data sets. An illustrative example of using the multivariate t is also included.

Not Asked and Not Answered: Multiple Imputation for Multiple Surveys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method of analyzing a series of independent cross-sectional surveys in which some questions are not answered in some surveys and some respondents do not answer some of the questions posed.
Estimation in nonlinear mixed-effects models using heavy-tailed distributions
TL;DR: This work proposes an exact estimation procedure to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the fixed-effects and variance components, using a stochastic approximation of the EM algorithm, and compares the performance of the normal and the SMN models with two real data sets.

Linear and Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models for Censored HIV Viral Loads Using Normal/Independent Distributions
TL;DR: A Bayesian framework for censored linear (and nonlinear) models replacing the Gaussian assumptions for the random terms with normal/independent (NI) distributions is developed and can be used to develop Bayesian case-deletion influence diagnostics based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences

TL;DR: The focus is on applied inference for Bayesian posterior distributions in real problems, which often tend toward normal- ity after transformations and marginalization, and the results are derived as normal-theory approximations to exact Bayesian inference, conditional on the observed simulations.

TL;DR: If data augmentation can be used in the calculation of the maximum likelihood estimate, then in the same cases one ought to be able to use it in the computation of the posterior distribution of parameters of interest.
