On the dominance relation between ordinal sums of conjunctors

Susanne Saminger, Bernard De Baets, Hans De Meyer (2006)

Kybernetika

This contribution deals with the dominance relation on the class of conjunctors, containing as particular cases the subclasses of quasi-copulas, copulas and t-norms. The main results pertain to the summand-wise nature of the dominance relation, when applied to ordinal sum conjunctors, and to the relationship between the idempotent elements of two conjunctors involved in a dominance relationship. The results are illustrated on some well-known parametric families of t-norms and copulas.

On the Heyde theorem for discrete Abelian groups

G. M. Feldman (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Let X be a countable discrete Abelian group, Aut(X) the set of automorphisms of X, and I(X) the set of idempotent distributions on X. Assume that α₁, α₂, β₁, β₂ ∈ Aut(X) satisfy β α - 1 ± β α - 1 A u t ( X ) . Let ξ₁, ξ₂ be independent random variables with values in X and distributions μ₁, μ₂. We prove that the symmetry of the conditional distribution of L₂ = β₁ξ₁ + β₂ξ₂ given L₁ = α₁ξ₁ + α₂ξ₂ implies that μ₁, μ₂ ∈ I(X) if and only if the group X contains no elements of order two. This theorem can be considered as an analogue...

On the infinite divisibility of scale mixtures of symmetric α-stable distributions, α ∈ (0,1]

Grażyna Mazurkiewicz (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The paper contains a new and elementary proof of the fact that if α ∈ (0,1] then every scale mixture of a symmetric α-stable probability measure is infinitely divisible. This property is known to be a consequence of Kelker's result for the Cauchy distribution and some nontrivial properties of completely monotone functions. It is known that this property does not hold for α = 2. The problem discussed in the paper is still open for α ∈ (1,2).

On the k-gamma q-distribution

Rafael Díaz, Camilo Ortiz, Eddy Pariguan (2010)

Open Mathematics

We provide combinatorial as well as probabilistic interpretations for the q-analogue of the Pochhammer k-symbol introduced by Díaz and Teruel. We introduce q-analogues of the Mellin transform in order to study the q-analogue of the k-gamma distribution.

On the minimizing point of the incorrectly centered empirical process and its limit distribution in nonregular experiments

Dietmar Ferger (2005)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Let F n be the empirical distribution function (df) pertaining to independent random variables with continuous df F . We investigate the minimizing point τ ^ n of the empirical process F n - F 0 , where F 0 is another df which differs from F . If F and F 0 are locally Hölder-continuous of order α at a point τ our main result states that n 1 / α ( τ ^ n - τ ) converges in distribution. The limit variable is the almost sure unique minimizing point of a two-sided time-transformed homogeneous Poisson-process with a drift. The time-transformation...
