The Ewens sampling formula is a distribution related to the random partition of a positive integer. In this study, we investigate the issue of non-existence solutions in parameter estimation under the distribution. As a result, the first…
This paper deals with empirical processes of the type \[C_n(B)=\sqrt{n}\{\mu_n(B)-P(X_{n+1}\in B\mid X_1,...,X_n)\},\] where $(X_n)$ is a sequence of random variables and $\mu_n=(1/n)\sum_{i=1}^n\delta_{X_i}$ the empirical measure.…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_N$ be i.i.d.\ random variables distributed like $X$. Suppose that the first $k \geq 3$ moments $\{ \mathbb{E}[X^j] : j = 1,\ldots,k\}$ of $X$ agree with that of the standard Gaussian distribution, that…

This paper introduces and develops the algebraic framework of moment polynomials, which are polynomial expressions in commuting variables and their formal mixed moments. Their positivity and optimization over probability measures supported…
Randomized approximation algorithms for many #P-complete problems (such as the partition function of a Gibbs distribution, the volume of a convex body, the permanent of a $\{0,1\}$-matrix, and many others) reduce to creating random…
This paper re-examines the first normalized incomplete moment, a well-established measure of inequality with wide applications in economic and social sciences. Despite the popularity of the measure itself, existing statistical inference…

Quantization for a probability distribution refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability supported by a finite number of points. In this paper, firstly a general approach to this process is outlined using…
We show, how the classical Berry-Esseen theorem for normal approximation may be used to derive rates of convergence for random sums of centerd, real-valued random variables with respect to a certain class of probability metrics, including…
Kummer's test from 1835 states that the positive series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ is convergent if and only if there is a sequence $\{ B_n\}_1^\infty$ of positive numbers such that $B_n\cdot \frac{a_n }{a_{n+1}} -B_{n+1}\geq 1 ,$ for all…
Rindler positivity is a property that holds in any relativistic Quantum Field Theory and implies an infinite set of inequalities involving the exponential of the R\'enyi mutual information $I_n(A_i,\bar{A}_j)$ between $A_i$ and $\bar{A}_j$,…
For a uniform process $\{ X_t: t\in E\}$ (by which $X_t $ is uniformly distributed on $(0,1)$ for $t\in E$) and a function $w(x)>0$ on $(0,1)$, we give a sufficient condition for the weak convergence of the empirical process based on $\{…
The two-dimensional moment problem consists of finding a positive Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} t_1^m t_2^n d\mu = s_{m,n}$, $m,n=0,1,2,...$, where $s_{m,n}$ are prescribed real constants (moments). We…

A new formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics is presented and applied to a free, massive, and spin zero elementary particle in the Minkowski spacetime. The reformulation requires that time and space, as well as the timelike and…
In this work we study the {\it moment estimation} problem using weighted sampling. Given sample access to a set $A$ with $n$ weighted elements, and a parameter $t>0$, we estimate the $t$-th moment of $A$ given as $S_t=\sum_{a\in A} w(a)^t$.…
Consider the Klein-Gordon equation (KGE) in $\R^n$, $n\ge 2$, with constant or variable coefficients. We study the distribution $\mu_t$ of the random solution at time $t\in\R$. We assume that the initial probability measure $\mu_0$ has zero…
