LP Mixed Data Science : Outline of Theory

This article presents the theoretical foundation of a new frontier of research-`LP Mixed Data Science'-that simultaneously extends and integrates the practice of traditional and novel statistical methods for nonparametric exploratory data modeling, and is applicable to the teaching and training of statistics. Statistics journals have great difficulty accepting papers unlike those previously published. For statisticians with new big ideas a practical strategy is to publish them in many small applied studies which enables one to provide references to work of others. This essay outlines the many concepts, new theory, and important algorithms of our new culture of statistical science called LP MIXED DATA SCIENCE. It provides comprehensive solutions to problems of data analysis and nonparametric modeling of many variables that are continuous or discrete, which does not yet have a large literature. It develops a new modeling approach to nonparametric estimation of the multivariate copula density. We discuss the theory which we believe is very elegant (and can provide a framework for United Statistical Algorithms, for traditional Small Data methods and Big Data methods).
