Moment Inequalities for Order Statistics with Applications to Characterizations of Distributions.
This paper gives upper and lower bounds for moments of sums of independent random variables which satisfy the condition , where are concave functions. As a consequence we obtain precise information about the tail probabilities of linear combinations of independent random variables for which for some fixed 0 < r ≤ 1. This complements work of Gluskin and Kwapień who have done the same for convex functions N.
Consider the sequence of positive numbers defined by C₁ = 1 and , n = 1,2,.... Let M be a real-valued martingale and let S(M) denote its square function. We establish the bound |Mₙ|≤ Cₙ Sₙ(M), n=1,2,..., and show that for each n, the constant Cₙ is the best possible.
We study higher-order moment measures of heavy-tailed renewal models, including a renewal point process with heavy-tailed inter-renewal distribution and its continuous analog, the occupation measure of a heavy-tailed Lévy subordinator. Our results reveal that the asymptotic structure of such moment measures are given by explicit power-law density functions. The same power-law densities appear naturally as cumulant measures of certain Poisson and Gaussian stochastic integrals. This correspondence...
We calculate the moments of the measure orthogonalizing the 2-dimensional Chebyshev polynomials introduced by Koornwinder.
The paper deals with nonnegative stochastic processes X(t,ω)(t ≤ 0) not identically zero with stationary and independent increments right-continuous sample functions and fulfilling the initial condition X(0,ω)=0. The main aim is to study the moments of the random functionals for a wide class of functions f. In particular a characterization of deterministic processes in terms of the exponential moments of these functionals is established.
