We study a new family of random variables, that each arise as the distribution of the maximum or minimum of a random number $N$ of i.i.d.~random variables $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_N$, each distributed as a variable $X$ with support on $[0,1]$. The…
Random integers, sampled uniformly from $[1,x]$, share similarities with random permutations, sampled uniformly from $S_n$. These similarities include the Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem on the distribution of the number of prime factors of a random…
The paper proves several limit theorems for linear eigenvalue statistics of overlapping Wigner and sample covariance matrices. It is shown that the covariance of the limiting multivariate Gaussian distribution is diagonalized by choosing…

In this paper, explicit error bounds are derived in the approximation of rank $k$ projections of certain $n$-dimensional random vectors by standard $k$-dimensional Gaussian random vectors. The bounds are given in terms of $k$, $n$, and a…
For $f$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove convergence in distribution of the appropriately normalised partial sums \[ \frac{{(\log \log x)}^{1/4}}{\sqrt{x}} \sum_{\substack{n \leq x \\ P(n) > \sqrt{x}}} f(n), \] where…

The Central Limit Theorem provides a foundation for inferential statistics and hypothesis testing. It describes how standardized statistics behave under repeated sampling from large populations. However, if the size of the sample (n)…
The dominated convergence theorem implies that if (f_n) is a sequence of functions on a probability space taking values in the interval [0,1], and (f_n) converges pointwise a.e., then the sequence of integrals converges to the integral of…
With a graph $G=(V,E)$ we associate a collection of non-negative real weights $\cup_{v\in V}{\lambda_{i,v}:1\leq i \leq m} \cup \cup_{uv \in E} {\lambda_{ij,uv}:1\leq i \leq j \leq m}$. We consider the probability distribution on…
This paper aims to examine the characteristics of the posterior distribution of covariance/precision matrices in a "large $p$, large $n$" scenario, where $p$ represents the number of variables and $n$ is the sample size. Our analysis…
The probability that the sum of independent, centered, identically distributed, heavy-tailed random variables achieves a very large value is asymptotically equal to the probability that there exists a single summand equalling that value. We…
Let (W_i, J_i) be a sequence of i.i.d. R_+ x R-valued random vectors. Considering the partial sum of the first component and the corresponding maximum of the second component, we are interested in the limit distributions that can be…
The study of sums of possibly associated Bernoulli random variables has been hampered by an asymmetry between positive correlation and negative correlation. The Conway-Maxwell Binomial (COMB) distribution and its multivariate extension, the…
In recent years, tensors have been applied to different applications in science and engineering fields. In order to establish theory about tail bounds of the tensors summation behavior, this work extends previous work by considering the…
We provide finite-sample distribution approximations, that are uniform in the parameter, for inference in linear mixed models. Focus is on variances and covariances of random effects in cases where existing theory fails because their…
We show that external randomization may enforce the convergence of test statistics to their limiting distributions in particular cases. This results in a sharper inference. Our approach is based on a central limit theorem for weighted sums.…
The majorizing measure theorem of Fernique and Talagrand is a fundamental result in the theory of random processes. It relates the boundedness of random processes indexed by elements of a metric space to complexity measures arising from…
