A note on correlation coefficient between random events

Czesław Stępniak (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Correlation coefficient is a well known measure of (linear) dependence between random variables. In his textbook published in 1980 L.T. Kubik introduced an analogue of such measure for random events A and B and studied its basic properties. We reveal that this measure reduces to the usual correlation coefficient between the indicator functions of A and B. In consequence the resuts by Kubik are obtained and strenghted directly. This is essential because the textbook is recommended by...

A note on optimal probability lower bounds for centered random variables

Mark Veraar (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We obtain lower bounds for ℙ(ξ ≥ 0) and ℙ(ξ > 0) under assumptions on the moments of a centered random variable ξ. The estimates obtained are shown to be optimal and improve results from the literature. They are then applied to obtain probability lower bounds for second order Rademacher chaos.

On d-finite tuples in random variable structures

Shichang Song (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that the d-finite tuples in models of ARV are precisely the discrete random variables. Then, we apply d-finite tuples to the work by Keisler, Hoover, Fajardo, and Sun concerning saturated probability spaces. In particular, we strengthen a result in Keisler and Sun's recent paper.
