We illustrate the use of the statistical method of moments for determining the position and momentum distributions of a quantum object from the statistics of a single measurement. The method is used for three different, though related,…
In the present work, we provide the general expression of the normalized centered moments of the Fr\'echet extreme-value distribution. In order to try to represent a set of data corresponding to rare events by a Fr\'echet distribution, it…
We establish conditions for uniform $r$-th moment bound of certain $\R^d$-valued functions of a discrete-time stochastic process taking values in a general metric space. The conditions include an appropriate negative drift together with a…
A real number $x$ is normal with respect to an integer base $b \geq 2$ if its digit expansion in this base is ``equitable'', in the sense that for $k \geq 1$, every ordered sequence of $k$ digits from $\{0, 1, \ldots, b-1\}$ occurs in the…
Let $X$ be an observable random variable with unknown distribution function $F(x) = \mathbb{P}(X \leq x), - \infty < x < \infty$, and let \[\ \theta = \sup\left \{ r \geq 0:~ \mathbb{E}|X|^{r} < \infty \right \}. \] We call $\theta$ the…
We study a novel class of affine invariant and consistent tests for normality in any dimension. The tests are based on a characterization of the standard $d$-variate normal distribution as the unique solution of an initial value problem of…
We present a family of explicit formulae for evaluating absolute moments of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ in terms of Fourier transforms. As to the space of probability measures possessing finite absolute moments of an arbitrary…
We use supercharacter theory to study moments of Gaussian periods. For $p-1=dk$ and fixed $k$, we compute the fourth absolute moments for all but finitely many primes $p$. For $d$ fixed, we relate the fourth absolute moments to the number…
In the approximate integration some inequalities between the quadratures and the integrals approximated by them are called \emph{extremalities}. On the other hand, the set of all quadratures is convex. We are trying to find possible…
Hypothesis testing in high dimensional data is a notoriously difficult problem without direct access to competing models' likelihood functions. This paper argues that statistical divergences can be used to quantify the difference between…
For random samples of size n obtained from p-variate normal distributions, we consider the classical likelihood ratio tests (LRT) for their means and covariance matrices in the high-dimensional setting. These test statistics have been…
In statistical modeling we strive to specify models that resemble data collected in studies or observed from processes. Consequently, distributional specification and parameter estimation are central to parametric models. Graphical…
Normal mixture distributions are arguably the most important mixture models, and also the most technically challenging. The likelihood function of the normal mixture model is unbounded based on a set of random samples, unless an artificial…
We give a conjecture for the moments of the Dedekind zeta function of a Galois extension via the hybrid product method. The moments of the product of primes are evaluated using the Montgomery-Vaughan mean value theorem whilst for the…
We have analyzed some conditions which are essentially involved in deciding whether or not a probability distribution is unique (moment-determinate) or non-unique (moment-indeterminate) by its moments. We suggest new conditions concerning…
Let $h(d)$ be the class number of indefinite binary quadratic forms of discriminant $d$, and let $\varepsilon_d$ be the corresponding fundamental unit. In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the $k$-th moment of $h(d)$ over…
A five-parameter distribution called the McDonald normal distribution is defined and studied. The new distribution contains, as special cases, several important distributions discussed in the literature, such as the normal, skew-normal,…
In this short note we study uniform approximations to the normal distributions by Jacobi theta functions. We shall show that scaled theta functions approach to a normal distribution exponentially fast.
We consider an ensemble of nxn real symmetric random matrices A whose entries are determined by independent identically distributed random variables that have symmetric probability distribution. Assuming that the moment 12+2delta of these…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Generalized Ramanujan Conjecture, we determine the order of the $2(k_1,\dots,k_r)$th moment of a product of distinct irreducible $L$-functions on the critical line. As a consequence, we…
