title: A class of mixtures of dependent tail-free processes.
abstract: We propose a class of dependent processes in which density shape is regressed on one or more predictors through conditional tail-free probabilities by using transformed Gaussian processes. A particular linear version of the process is developed in detail. The resulting process is flexible and easy to fit using standard algorithms for generalized linear models. The method is applied to growth curve analysis, evolving univariate random effects distributions in generalized linear mixed models, and median survival modelling with censored data and covariate-dependent errors.
