It is well known that the ratio of two independent standard Gaussian random variables follows a Cauchy distribution. Any convex combination of independent standard Cauchy random variables also follows a Cauchy distribution. In a recent…
This paper is devoted to a fractional generalization of the Dirichlet distribution. The form of the multivariate distribution is derived assuming that the $n$ partitions of the interval $[0,W_n]$ are independent and identically distributed…
The expected value for the weighted crossing number of a randomly weighted graph is studied. A variation of the Crossing Lemma for expectations is proved. We focus on the case where the edge-weights are independent random variables that are…
In network data analysis, summary statistics of a network can provide us with meaningful insight into the structure of the network. The average clustering coefficient is one of the most popular and widely used network statistics. In this…
This paper studies the asymptotic behaviors of the pairwise angles among n randomly and uniformly distributed unit vectors in R^p as the number of points n -> infinity, while the dimension p is either fixed or growing with n. For both…
We discuss recently developed methods that quantify the stability and generalizability of statistical findings under distributional changes. In many practical problems, the data is not drawn i.i.d. from the target population. For example,…
Given $n$ samples of a regular discrete distribution $\pi$, we prove in this article first a serial of SLLNs results (of Dvoretzky and Erd\"{o}s' type) which implies a typical power law when $\pi$ is heavy-tailed. Constructing a (random)…
Stochastic dominance of a random variable by a convex combination of its independent copies has recently been shown to hold within the relatively narrow class of distributions with concave odds function, and later extended to broader…
The exponential family of random graphs represents an important and challenging class of network models. Despite their flexibility, conventionally used exponential random graphs have one shortcoming. They cannot directly model weighted…
The purpose of this paper is to assess the statistical characterization of weighted networks in terms of the generalization of the relevant parameters, namely average path length, degree distribution and clustering coefficient. Although the…
The multivariate version of the Mixed Tempered Stable is proposed. It is a generalization of the Normal Variance Mean Mixtures. Characteristics of this new distribution and its capacity in fitting tails and capturing dependence structure…
In this paper, we study the fluctuations of sums of random variables with distribution defined as a mixture of light-tail and truncated heavy-tail distributions. We focus on the case when both the mixing coefficient and the truncation level…
We present some product representations for random variables with the Linnik, Mittag-Leffler and Weibull distributions and establish the relationship between the mixing distributions in these representations. The main result is the…
This article provides tools for the study of the Dirichlet random walk in $\mathbb{R}^d$. By this we mean the random variable $W=X_1\Theta_1+\cdots+X_n\Theta_n$ where $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n) \sim \mathcal{D}(q_1,\ldots,q_n)$ is Dirichlet…
We prove an extension of the Regularity Lemma with vertex and edge weights which can be applied for a large class of graphs. The applications involve random graphs and a weighted version of the Erd\H{o}s-Stone theorem. We also provide means…
In the present paper new insights into the study of the Non-central Dirichlet distribution are provided. This latter is the analogue of the Dirichlet distribution obtained by replacing the Chi-Squared random variables involved in its…
A new distribution is introduced, which we call the twin-t distribution. This distribution is heavy-tailed like the t distribution, but closer to normality in the central part of the curve. Its properties are described, e.g. the pdf, the…
The aim of this paper is to show a possibility to identify multivariate distribution by means of specially constructed one-dimensional random variable. We give some inequalities which may appear to helpful for a construction of multivariate…
We revisit the classic Wigner semi-circle from two different angles. One consists in studying the Stieltjes transform directly on the real axis, which does not converge to a fixed value but follows a Cauchy distribution that depends on the…
