Characterizations of the exponential distribution based on certain properties of its characteristic function

Simos G. Meintanis, George Iliopoulos (2003)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Two characterizations of the exponential distribution among distributions with support the nonnegative real axis are presented. The characterizations are based on certain properties of the characteristic function of the exponential random variable. Counterexamples concerning more general possible versions of the characterizations are given.

On the Bennett–Hoeffding inequality

Similarity:

The well-known Bennett–Hoeffding bound for sums of independent random variables is refined, by taking into account positive-part third moments, and at that significantly improved by using, instead of the class of all increasing exponential functions, a much larger class of generalized moment functions. The resulting bounds have certain optimality properties. The results can be extended in a standard manner to (the maximal functions of) (super)martingales. The proof of the main result...
