k-th rekord values from Dagum distribution and characterization

Devendra Kumar (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this study, we gave some new explicit expressions and recurrence relations satisfied by single and product moments of k-th lower record values from Dagum distribution. Next we show that the result for the record values from the Dagum distribution can be derived from our result as special case. Further, using a recurrence relation for single moments and conditional expectation of record values we obtain characterization of Dagum distribution. In addition, we use the established explicit...

A compound of the generalized negative binomial distribution with the generalized beta distribution

Tadeusz Gerstenkorn (2004)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

This paper presents a compound of the generalized negative binomial distribution with the generalized beta distribution. In the introductory part of the paper, we provide a chronological overview of recent developments in the compounding of distributions, including the Polish results. Then, in addition to presenting the probability function of the compound generalized negative binomial-generalized beta distribution, we present special cases as well as factorial and crude moments of some...

Some properties and applications of probability distributions based on MacDonald function

Oldřich Kropáč (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

In the paper the basic analytical properties of the MacDonald function (the modified Bessel function of the second kind) are summarized and the properties of some subclasses of distribution functions based on MacDonald function, especially of the types x n K n ( x ) , x 0 , x n K n ( x x ) , x 𝐑 and x n + 1 K n ( x ) , x 0 are discussed. The distribution functions mentioned are useful for analytical modelling of composed (mixed) distributions, especially for products of random variables having distributions of the exponential type. Extensive and...

Improving predictive distributions.

Morris H. DeGroot (1980)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Consider a sequence of decision problems S, S, ... and suppose that in problem S the statistician must specify his predictive distribution F for some random variable X and make a decision based on that distribution. For example, X might be the return on some particular investment and the statistician must decide whether or not to make that investment. The random variables X, X, ... are assumed to be independent and completely unrelated. It is also assumed that each predictive distribution...
