The distribution of mathematical expectations of a randomized fuzzy variable.

V. B. Kuz'min, S. I. Travkin (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

The Shaffer's definition of the upper and lower expectations of fuzzy variables is considered with respect to randomized fuzzy sets. The notion of randomized fuzzy sets is introduced in order to evaluate fuzzy statistical indices for an arbitrary chosen fuzzy variable. Provided the distribution of the mathematical expectation of a randomized fuzzy variable is known, it is possible to adopt the traditional methods of testing statistical hypotheses for fuzzy variables.We show that this distribution...

The gamma-uniform distribution and its applications

Hamzeh Torabi, Narges Montazeri Hedesh (2012)

Kybernetika

Up to present for modelling and analyzing of random phenomenons, some statistical distributions are proposed. This paper considers a new general class of distributions, generated from the logit of the gamma random variable. A special case of this family is the Gamma-Uniform distribution. We derive expressions for the four moments, variance, skewness, kurtosis, Shannon and Rényi entropy of this distribution. We also discuss the asymptotic distribution of the extreme order statistics, simulation issues,...

The Heyde theorem on a-adic solenoids

Margaryta Myronyuk (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove the following analogue of the Heyde theorem for a-adic solenoids. Let ξ₁, ξ₂ be independent random variables with values in an a-adic solenoid Σ a and with distributions μ₁, μ₂. Let α j , β j be topological automorphisms of Σ a such that β α - 1 ± β α - 1 are topological automorphisms of Σ a too. Assuming that the conditional distribution of the linear form L₂ = β₁ξ₁ + β₂ξ₂ given L₁ = α₁ξ₁ + α₂ξ₂ is symmetric, we describe the possible distributions μ₁, μ₂.

The inverse distribution for a dichotomous random variable

Elisabetta Bona, Dario Sacchetti (1997)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we will deal with the determination of the inverse of a dichotomous probability distribution. In particular it will be shown that a dichotomous distribution admit inverse if and only if it corresponds to a random variable assuming values ( 0 , a ) , a + . Moreover we will provide two general results about the behaviour of the inverse distribution relative to the power and to a linear transformation of a measure.

The LASSO estimator: Distributional properties

Rakshith Jagannath, Neelesh S. Upadhye (2018)

Kybernetika

The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is a popular technique for simultaneous estimation and model selection. There have been a lot of studies on the large sample asymptotic distributional properties of the LASSO estimator, but it is also well-known that the asymptotic results can give a wrong picture of the LASSO estimator's actual finite-sample behaviour. The finite sample distribution of the LASSO estimator has been previously studied for the special case of orthogonal models....

The likelihood ratio test for general mixture models with or without structural parameter

Jean-Marc Azaïs, Élisabeth Gassiat, Cécile Mercadier (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

This paper deals with the likelihood ratio test (LRT) for testing hypotheses on the mixing measure in mixture models with or without structural parameter. The main result gives the asymptotic distribution of the LRT statistics under some conditions that are proved to be almost necessary. A detailed solution is given for two testing problems: the test of a single distribution against any mixture, with application to Gaussian, Poisson and binomial distributions; the test of the number of populations...

The Lukacs-Olkin-Rubin theorem without invariance of the "quotient"

Konstancja Bobecka, Jacek Wesołowski (2002)

Studia Mathematica

The Lukacs theorem is one of the most brilliant results in the area of characterizations of probability distributions. First, because it gives a deep insight into the nature of independence properties of the gamma distribution; second, because it uses beautiful and non-trivial mathematics. Originally it was proved for probability distributions concentrated on (0,∞). In 1962 Olkin and Rubin extended it to matrix variate distributions. Since that time it has been believed that the fundamental reason...
