Two-sided statistical tests and p-values are well defined only when the test statistic in question has a symmetric distribution. A new two-sided p-value called conditional p-value $P_C$ is introduced here. It is closely related to the…

One of the most popular class of tests for independence between two random variables is the general class of rank statistics which are invariant under permutations. This class contains Spearman's coefficient of rank correlation statistic,…

The gamma distribution is a useful model for small area prediction of a skewed response variable. We study the use of the gamma distribution for small area prediction. We emphasize a model, called the gamma-gamma model, in which the area…

In this article we introduce a family of valuative invariants defined in terms of the $p$-th moment of the expected vanishing order. These invariants lie between $\alpha$ and $\delta$-invariants. They vary continuously in the big cone and…

A general piecewise (including pointwise) probability distribution with space-saving notation and its hierarchical particular cases are considered. The explicit closed-form normalization, expectation, and variance formulas along with the…

In this note, we prove that if $X\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ and $Y\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times p}$ are two independent matrices with i.i.d entries then the empirical spectral distribution of $\frac{1}{d}XX^\top \odot \frac{1}{p}YY^\top$, where…

The term moderate deviations is often used in the literature to mean a class of large deviation principles that, in some sense, fills the gap between a convergence in probability of some random variables to a constant and a weak convergence…

Let $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denote the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\|x\|$ the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. Suppose that $1/2<\gamma_2<\gamma_1<1$ are two fixed constants. In this paper, it is proved that, whenever $\alpha$…

In random matrix theory, the spectral distribution of the covariance matrix has been well studied under the large dimensional asymptotic regime when the dimensionality and the sample size tend to infinity at the same rate. However, most…

In both Tweedie and geometric Tweedie models, the common power parameter $p\notin(0,1)$ works as an automatic distribution selection. It mainly separates two subclasses of semicontinuous ($1<p<2$) and positive continuous ($p\geq 2$)…

Building on the work of Arizmendi and Celestino (2021), we derive the $*$-distributions of polynomials in monotone independent and infinitesimally monotone independent elements. For non-zero complex numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, we derive…

We examine the distributions of non-commutative polynomials of non-atomic, freely independent random variables. In particular, we obtain an analogue of the Strong Atiyah Conjecture for free groups thus proving that the measure of each atom…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a finite connected graph $\mathcal G$. Let $\mathfrak M$ be an abelian group. A {\it distribution} on the boundary $\partial\Delta$ of the universal covering tree $\Delta$ is an $\mathfrak M$-valued…

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are $p\times n$ matrices each with mean $0$, variance $1$ and where all moments of any order are uniformly bounded as $p,n \to \infty$. Moreover, the entries $(X_{ij}, Y_{ij})$ are independent across $i,j$ with a common…

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…

Risk assessment for rare events is essential for understanding systemic stability in complex systems. As rare events are typically highly correlated, it is important to study heavy-tailed multivariate distributions of the relevant…

In this article we investigate high-dimensional banded sample covariance matrices under the regime that the sample size $n$, the dimension $p$ and the bandwidth $d$ tend simultaneously to infinity such that $$n/p\to 0 \ \ \text{and} \ \…

We uncover geometric aspects that underlie the sum of two independent stochastic variables when both are governed by q-Gaussian probability distributions. The pertinent discussion is given in terms of random vectors uniformly distributed on…

Supposing Kotz-Riesz type I and II distributions and their corresponding independent univariate Riesz distributions the associated generalised matrix multivariate T distributions, termed matrix multivariate T-Riesz distributions are…

The degree-degree correlation is important in understanding the structural organization of a network and the dynamics upon a network. Such correlation is usually measured by the assortativity coefficient $r$, with natural bounds $r \in…
