A Riemann approach to random variation

Patrick Muldowney (2006)

Mathematica Bohemica

This essay outlines a generalized Riemann approach to the analysis of random variation and illustrates it by a construction of Brownian motion in a new and simple manner.

About the density of spectral measure of the two-dimensional SaS random vector

Marta Borowiecka-Olszewska, Jolanta K. Misiewicz (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we consider a symmetric α-stable p-sub-stable two-dimensional random vector. Our purpose is to show when the function e x p - ( | a | p + | b | p ) α / p is a characteristic function of such a vector for some p and α. The solution of this problem we can find in [3], in the language of isometric embeddings of Banach spaces. Our proof is based on simple properties of stable distributions and some characterization given in [4].

Alternative definitions of conditional possibilistic measures

Ivan Kramosil (1998)

Kybernetika

The aim of this paper is to survey and discuss, very briefly, some ways how to introduce, within the framework of possibilistic measures, a notion analogous to that of conditional probability measure in probability theory. The adjective “analogous” in the last sentence is to mean that the conditional possibilistic measures should play the role of a mathematical tool to actualize one’s degrees of beliefs expressed by an a priori possibilistic measure, having obtained some further information concerning...

An Alpern tower independent of a given partition

James T. Campbell, Jared T. Collins, Steven Kalikow, Raena King, Randall McCutcheon (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Given a measure-preserving transformation T of a probability space (X,ℬ,μ) and a finite measurable partition ℙ of X, we show how to construct an Alpern tower of any height whose base is independent of the partition ℙ. That is, given N ∈ ℕ, there exists a Rokhlin tower of height N, with base B and error set E, such that B is independent of ℙ, and TE ⊂ B.

An analysis of the Rüschendorf transform - with a view towards Sklar’s Theorem

Frank Oertel (2015)

Dependence Modeling

We revisit Sklar’s Theorem and give another proof, primarily based on the use of right quantile functions. To this end we slightly generalise the distributional transform approach of Rüschendorf and facilitate some new results including a rigorous characterisation of an almost surely existing “left-invertibility” of distribution functions.

An extended problem to Bertrand's paradox

Mostafa K. Ardakani, Shaun S. Wulff (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Bertrand's paradox is a longstanding problem within the classical interpretation of probability theory. The solutions 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 were proposed using three different approaches to model the problem. In this article, an extended problem, of which Bertrand's paradox is a special case, is proposed and solved. For the special case, it is shown that the corresponding solution is 1/3. Moreover, the reasons of inconsistency are discussed and a proper modeling approach is determined by careful examination...

Analysis on some linear sets

Robert Kaufman (1971)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The note discusses a probabilistic method for constructing “small” sets, with regard to differentiable transformations and to quantitative measures of independence.

Aplicación de las submedidas C a las probabilidades comparativas.

César Rodríguez Ortiz (1981)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Introducimos en este trabajo el concepto de submedida C (comparativa), sobre un álgebra de conjuntos D, estudiamos propiedades de estas submedidas que serán necesarias para la cuantificación de probabilidades comparativas (P.C.) y se relacionan con otro concepto introducido recientemente por Dobrakov, que es el de submedida I. Se estudian las condiciones bajo las que la convergencia de una sucesión (An) en D subordina la convergencia de (An, ≥) y la representación cuantitativa de P.C. mediante submedidas...
