Let $\Omega_p$ be the group of $p$-adic numbers, $ \xi_1$, $\xi_2$, $\xi_3$ be independent random variables with values in $\Omega_p$ and distributions $\mu_1$, $\mu_2$, $\mu_3$. Let $\alpha_j, \beta_j, \gamma_j$ be topological…

Let $X=\sum_{k=1}^\infty X_k \beta^{-k}$ be the base-$\beta$ expansion of a continuous random variable $X$ on the unit interval where $\beta$ is the golden ratio. We study the asymptotic distribution and convergence rate of the scaled…

We characterize the symmetric distributions that can be (approximately) generated by shallow Boolean circuits. More precisely, let $f\colon \{0,1\}^m \to \{0,1\}^n$ be a Boolean function where each output bit depends on at most $d$ input…

Probability distributions defined on the unit interval are widely used in fields ranging from econometrics to reliability studies. Traditional models such as the beta and Kumaraswamy distributions are well-established due to their…

We consider independent edge percolation models on Z, with edge occupation probabilities p_<x,y> = p if |x-y| = 1, 1 - exp{- beta / |x-y|^2} otherwise. We prove that oriented percolation occurs when beta > 1 provided p is chosen…

We investigate the algebra and geometry of the independence conditions on discrete random variables in which we fix some random variables and study the complete independence of some subcollections. We interpret such independence conditions…

In this paper, we determine the density functions of nonsymmetrised doubly noncentral matrix variate beta type I and II distributions. The nonsymetrised density functions of doubly noncentral and noncentral bimatrix variate generalised beta…

This is a revised form of the previous paper in which we study cones of positive maps of B(H) into itself. We add the result that the dual cone of a symmetric mapping cone is itself a symmetric mapping cone. As applications we obtain…

We investigate certain analytical properties of the free $\alpha-$stable densities on the line. We prove that they are all classically infinitely divisible when $\alpha\le 1$, and that they belong to the extended Thorin class when $\alpha…

Let $\mathbf{B}_n=\mathbf {S}_n(\mathbf {S}_n+\alpha_n\mathbf {T}_N)^{-1}$, where $\mathbf {S}_n$ and $\mathbf {T}_N$ are two independent sample covariance matrices with dimension $p$ and sample sizes $n$ and $N$, respectively. This is the…

Let $X_1,..., X_n$ be i.i.d.\ copies of a random variable $X=Y+Z,$ where $ X_i=Y_i+Z_i,$ and $Y_i$ and $Z_i$ are independent and have the same distribution as $Y$ and $Z,$ respectively. Assume that the random variables $Y_i$'s are…

Constraint-based causal discovery algorithms utilize many statistical tests for conditional independence to uncover networks of causal dependencies. These approaches to causal discovery rely on an assumed correspondence between the…

We introduce families of jointly symmetric, binary distributions that are generated over directed star graphs whose nodes represent variables and whose edges indicate positive dependences. The families are parametrized in terms of a single…

We construct several new spaces of quantum sequences and their quantum families of maps in sense of So{\l}tan. Then, we introduce noncommutative distributional symmetries associated with these quantum maps and study simple relations between…

This article proposes a new index for quantifying the degree of dependence between random vectors. The index takes values in [0,1] and equals zero if and only if the random vectors are sub-independent. Unlike mere uncorrelatedness,…

Convolutions of independent random variables often arise in a natural way in many applied problems. In this article, we compare convolutions of two sets of gamma (negative binomial) random variables in the convolution order and the usual…

By Heyde's theorem, the class of Gaussian distributions on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of independent random variables given another. We prove an analogue of this theorem…

We prove that there exists a countable $\beta$-model in which, for all reals $X$ and $Y$, $X$ is definable from $Y$ if and only $X$ is hyperarithmetical in $Y$. We also obtain some related results and pose some related questions.

The beta polytope $P_{n,d}^\beta$ is the convex hull of $n$ i.i.d. random points distributed in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^d$ according to a density proportional to $(1-\lVert{x}\rVert^2)^{\beta}$ if $\beta>-1$ (in particular, $\beta=0$…

We show that all negative powers B_{a,b}^-{s} of the Beta distribution are infinitely divisible. The case b<1 follows by complete monotonicity, the case b > 1, s > 1 by hyperbolically complete monotonicity and the case b > 1, s < 1 by a…
