Linear combinations of independent random variables have been extensively studied in the literature. However, most of the work is based on some specific distribution assumptions. In this paper, a companion of (J. Appl. Probab. 48 (2011)…

In this paper, we study the summability properties of double sequences of real constants which map sequences of random variables to sequences of random variables that are defined on the same probability sample space. We show that a regular…

A test of the null hypothesis that a hazard rate is monotone nondecreasing, versus the alternative that it is not, is proposed. Both the test statistic and the means of calibrating it are new. Unlike previous approaches, neither is based on…

It is known that limit theorems for triangular arrays with identically distributed rows yields convergence of densities rather than just convergence in distribution. We show that this superconvergence result holds -- at least at points at…

This paper studies predictor functions motivated by maximizing a measure of agreement with the predictand. Specifically, it examines distributional properties and predictive performance of the estimated maximum agreement linear predictor…

We give an elementary proof of the fact that a binomial random variable $X$ with parameters $n$ and $0.29/n \le p < 1$ with probability at least $1/4$ strictly exceeds its expectation. We also show that for $1/n \le p < 1 - 1/n$, $X$…
