The derivation and application of Stein identities have received considerable research interest in recent years, especially for continuous or discrete-univariate distributions. In this paper, we complement the existing literature by…
As the most fundamental problem in statistics, robust location estimation has many prominent solutions, such as the trimmed mean, Winsorized mean, Hodges Lehmann estimator, Huber M estimator, and median of means. Recent studies suggest that…
We obtain rates of convergence in limit theorems of partial sums $S_n$ for certain sequences of dependent, identically distributed random variables, which arise naturally in statistical mechanics, in particular, in the context of the…
A transformation group approach to the prior for the parameters of the beta distribution is suggested which accounts for finite sets of data by imposing a limit to the range of parameter values under consideration. The relationship between…
The Grouped Horseshoe distribution arises from hierarchical structures in the recent Bayesian methodological literature aimed at selection of groups of regression coefficients. We isolate this distribution and study its properties…
A class of discrete distributions can be derived from stationary renewal processes. They have the useful property that the mean is a simple function of the model parameters. Thus regressions of the distribution mean on covariates can be…
It is well known that the independence of the sample mean and the sample variance characterizes the normal distribution. By using Anosov's theorem, we further investigate the analogous characteristic properties in terms of the sample mean…
In this paper we propose a bimodal gamma distribution using a quadratic transformation based on the alpha-skew-normal model. We discuss several properties of this distribution such as mean, variance, moments, hazard rate and entropy…
The von Mises distribution is one of the most important distribution in statistics to deal with circular data. In this paper we will consider some basic properties and characterizations of the sine skewed von Mises distribution.
We investigate the distribution of the angles of Gauss sums attached to the cuspidal representations of general linear groups over finite fields. In particular we show that they happen to be equidistributed w.r.t.the Haar measure. However,…
The large scale matter distribution in three different simulations of CDM models is investigated and compared with corresponding results of the Zel'dovich theory of nonlinear gravitational instability. We show that the basic characteristics…
The beta distribution is the best-known distribution for modelling doubly-bounded data, \eg percentage data or probabilities. A new generalization of the beta distribution is proposed, which uses a cubic transformation of the beta random…
The Wishart distribution and its generalizations are among the most prominent probability distributions in multivariate statistical analysis, arising naturally in applied research and as a basis for theoretical models. In this paper, we…
In this paper, we consider Gaussian models Markov with respect to an arbitrary DAG. We first construct a family of conjugate priors for the Cholesky parametrization of the covariance matrix of such models. This family has as many shape…
We describe the distribution of frequencies ordered by sample values in a random sample of size $n$ from the two parameter GEM$(\alpha,\theta)$ random discrete distribution on the positive integers. These frequencies are a…
We develop the tools necessary to use Stein's method for approximation by a Borel distribution, which we illustrate by considering the approximation of the number of customers served in the busy period of an M/G/1 queue. We further derive…
In this monograph, very simple axiomatic definitions to the L. Schwartz' concepts of distribution and derivative of a distribution are formulated. Beyond this, a kind of generalization of that concepts is propose and corresponding axiomatic…
A new family of distributions on the circle is introduced which are a generalization of the Cardioid distributions. The elementary properties such as mean, variance and the characteristic function are computed. The distribution is either…
