A curious integral.
We introduce and study a deformation of commutative polynomial algebras in even numbers of variables. We also discuss some connections and applications of this deformation to the generalized Laguerre orthogonal polynomials and the interchanges of right and left total symbols of differential operators of polynomial algebras. Furthermore, a more conceptual re-formulation for the image conjecture [18] is also given in terms of the deformed algebras. Consequently, the well-known Jacobian conjecture...
A new approach is presented for constructing recurrence relations for the modified moments of a function with respect to the Gegenbauer polynomials.
We obtain, for entire functions of exponential type satisfying certain integrability conditions, a quadrature formula using the zeros of spherical Bessel functions as nodes. We deduce from this quadrature formula a result of Olivier and Rahman, which refines itself a formula of Boas.
Let be a sequence of arbitrary complex numbers, let α,β > -1, let Pₙα,βn=0+∞
Data that are proportions arise most frequently in biomedical research. In this paper, the exact distributions of R = X + Y and W = X/(X+Y) and the corresponding moment properties are derived when X and Y are proportions and arise from the most flexible bivariate beta distribution known to date. The associated estimation procedures are developed. Finally, two medical data sets are used to illustrate possible applications.
Beta distributions are popular models for economic data. In this paper, a new multimodal beta distribution with bathtub shaped failure rate function is introduced. Various structural properties of this distribution are derived, including its cdf, moments, mean deviation about the mean, mean deviation about the median, entropy, asymptotic distribution of the extreme order statistics, maximum likelihood estimates and the Fisher information matrix. Finally, an application to consumer price indices...
