Sample behavior and laws of large numbers for Gaussian random elements.
Let Γ be a subsemigroup of G = GL(d,ℝ), d > 1. We assume that the action of Γ on is strongly irreducible and that Γ contains a proximal and quasi-expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the dynamics of Γ on at infinity. This amounts to the consideration of the action of Γ on some compact homogeneous spaces of G, which are extensions of the projective space . In the case where Γ is a subsemigroup of GL(d,ℝ) ∩ M(d,ℤ) and Γ has the above properties, we deduce that the Γ-orbits...
Copulas are functions which join the margins to produce a joint distribution function. A special class of copulas called shuffles of Min is shown to be dense in the collection of all copulas. Each shuffle of Min is interpreted probabilistically. Using the above-mentioned results, it is proved that the joint distribution of any two continuously distributed random variables X and Y can be approximated uniformly, arbitrarily closely by the joint distribution of another pair X* and Y* each of which...
Every characteristic function φ can be written in the following way: φ(ξ) = 1/(h(ξ) + 1), where h(ξ) = ⎧ 1/φ(ξ) - 1 if φ(ξ) ≠ 0 ⎨ ⎩ ∞ if φ(ξ) = 0 This simple remark implies that every characteristic function can be treated as a simple fraction of the function h(ξ). In the paper, we consider a class C(φ) of all characteristic functions of the form , where φ(ξ) is a fixed characteristic function. Using the well known theorem on simple fraction decomposition of rational functions we obtain that convolutions...
