The expected range of a sample of n+1 normally distributed variables is known to be related to the mean width of a regular n-simplex. We show that the expected maximum mu_n of a sample of n half-normally distributed variables is related to…

Let $Z$ be a standard normal random variable (r.v.). It is shown that the distribution of the r.v. $\ln|Z|$ is infinitely divisible; equivalently, the standard normal distribution considered as the distribution on the multiplicative group…

If the log likelihood is approximately quadratic with constant Hessian, then the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is approximately normally distributed. No other assumptions are required. We do not need independent and identically…

Let s,t,m,n be positive integers such that sm=tn. Let M(m,s;n,t) be the number of m x n matrices over {0,1,2,...} with each row summing to s and each column summing to t. Equivalently, M(m,s;n,t) counts 2-way contingency tables of order m x…

Discrete kernel smoothing is now gaining importance in nonparametric statistics. In this paper, we investigate some asymptotic properties of the normalized discrete associated-kernel estimator of a probability mass function. We show, under…

We consider procedures of sampling parts from a random integer partition. We determine asymptotically the probabilty distribution of the randomly-selected part whenever the positive integer that is partitioned becomes large.

We investigate the asymptotic distributions of coordinates of regression M-estimates in the moderate $p/n$ regime, where the number of covariates $p$ grows proportionally with the sample size $n$. Under appropriate regularity conditions, we…

Let $\{U_n\}_{n \geq 0}$ and $\{V_m\}_{m \geq 0}$ be two linear recurrence sequences. We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $c$ in the range $[-x, x]$ which can be represented as differences $ U_n - V_m$. In…

We study (asymmetric) $U$-statistics based on a stationary sequence of $m$-dependent variables; moreover, we consider constrained $U$-statistics, where the defining multiple sum only includes terms satisfying some restrictions on the gaps…

Simultaneous core partitions are important objects in algebraic combinatorics. Recently there has been interest in studying the distribution of sizes among all $(s,t)$-cores for coprime $s$ and $t$. Zaleski (2017) gave strong evidence that…

In this paper, we study large $m$ asymptotics of the $l^1$ minimal $m$-partition problem for Dirichlet eigenvalue. For any smooth domain $\Omega\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $|\Omega|=1$, we prove that the limit…

In this paper, we shall try to deduce asymptotic behaviour of component spectrum of random $n \times n$ magical squares with line sum $r \in \mathbb{N}$, which can also be identified as $r$-regular bipartite graphs on $2n$ vertices, chosen…

The recent paper [27] provides a statistical analysis for efficient detection of signal components when missing data samples are present. Here we focus our attention to some complex-valued discrete random variables $X_l(m,N)$ ($0\le l\le…

We prove results about the asymptotic formulae in short intervals for the average number of representations of integers of the forms $n=p_{1}^{\ell_1}+p_{2}^{\ell_2}$, with $\ell_1, \ell_2\in\{2,3\}$, $\ell_1+\ell_2\le 5$ are fixed…

We study the typical behavior of the size of the ratio set $A/A$ for a random subset $A\subset \{1,\dots , n\}$. For example, we prove that $|A/A|\sim \frac{2\text{Li}_2(3/4)}{\pi^2}n^2 $ for almost all subsets $A \subset\{1,\dots ,n\}$. We…

Let m and n be any integers with n>m>=2. Using just the entropy function it is possible to define a partial order on S_mn (the symmetric group on mn letters) modulo a subgroup isomorphic to S_m x S_n. We explore this partial order in the…

A key feature of a sequential study is that the actual sample size is a random variable that typically depends on the outcomes collected. While hypothesis testing theory for sequential designs is well established, parameter and precision…

Lower and upper bounds are explored for the uniform (Kolmogorov) and $L^2$-distances between the distributions of weighted sums of dependent summands and the normal law. The results are illustrated for several classes of random variables…

We give sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of linear combinations of order statistics (L-statistics) in the case of simple random samples without replacement. In the first case, restrictions are imposed on the weights of…

We study here the so called subsequence pattern matching also known as hidden pattern matching in which one searches for a given pattern $w$ of length $m$ as a subsequence in a random text of length $n$. The quantity of interest is the…
