We are interested in random uniform minimal factorizations of the $n$-cycle which are factorizations of $(1~2\dots n)$ into a product of $n-1$ transpositions. Our main result is an explicit formula for the joint probability that 1 and 2…
The reliable recovery and uncertainty quantification of a fixed effect function $\mu$ in a functional mixed model, for modelling population- and object-level variability in noisily observed functional data, is a notoriously challenging…
This paper analyzes the M\"obius ($\mu(i)$) function defined on the partially ordered set of triangular numbers ($\mathcal T(i)$) under the divisibility relation. We make conjectures on the asymptotic behavior of the classical M\"obius and…
Let $\mu_1,... \mu_k$ be $d$-dimensional probability measures in $\R^d$ with mean 0. At each step we choose one of the measures based on the history of the process and take a step according to that measure. We give conditions for transience…
We obtained the formulas for the quantities of positive, negative and zero values of the Mobius function for any real x in terms of the Mobius function values for square root of x - similar to the identities we found earlier for the Mertens…
This note contains sufficient conditions for the probability density function of an arbitrary continuous univariate distribution, supported on $(0,\infty),$ such that the corresponding Mills ratio to be reciprocally convex (concave). To…
Gibbs-type random probability measures and the exchangeable random partitions they induce represent the subject of a rich and active literature. They provide a probabilistic framework for a wide range of theoretical and applied problems…
Consider a graph with a set of vertices and oriented edges connecting pairs of vertices. Each vertex is associated with a random variable and these are assumed to be independent. In this setting, suppose we wish to solve the following…
The problem is sequence prediction in the following setting. A sequence x1,..., xn,... of discrete-valued observations is generated according to some unknown probabilistic law (measure) mu. After observing each outcome, it is required to…
We study the rate of convergence to a normal random variable of the real and imaginary parts of Tr(AU), where U is an N x N random unitary matrix and A is a deterministic complex matrix. We show that the rate of convergence is O(N^{-2 +…
This paper discusses a few main topics in Number Theory, such as the M\"{o}bius function and its generalization, leading up to the derivation of neat power series for the prime counting function, $\pi(x)$, and the prime-power counting…
We study several aspects of the M\"{o}bius function, $\mu[\sigma,\pi]$, on the poset of permutations under the pattern containment order. First, we consider cases where the lower bound of the poset is indecomposable. We show that…
Let B_1,B_2, ... be independent one-dimensional Brownian motions defined over the whole real line such that B_i(0)=0. We consider the nth iterated Brownian motion W_n(t)= B_n(B_{n-1}(...(B_2(B_1(t)))...)). Although the sequences of…
Consider a commutative monoid $(M,+,0)$ and a biadditive binary operation $\mu \colon M \times M \to M$. We will show that under some additional general assumptions, the operation $\mu$ is automatically both associative and commutative. The…
Mixture models have received considerable attention recently and Newton [Sankhy\={a} Ser. A 64 (2002) 306--322] proposed a fast recursive algorithm for estimating a mixing distribution. We prove almost sure consistency of this recursive…
Identities involving Mobius function values (u(j),u(k)) are used to generate a Riemann Hypothesis equivalent.
In this article, we explore the Riemann zeta function with a perspective on primes and non-trivial zeros. We develop the Golomb's recurrence formula for the $n$th+1 prime, and assuming (RH), we propose an analytical recurrence formula for…
When researchers carry out a null hypothesis significance test, it is tempting to assume that a statistically significant result lowers Prob(H0), the probability of the null hypothesis being true. Technically, such a statement is…
Assuming the validity of Riemann Hypothesis (RH), we derive the explicit bilateral estimates ("narrow passage") of the remainder in the modified Mertens asymptotic formula for the sums of primes' reciprocals. These results are reversable,…
In this note we consider several kind of partition functions of one-dimensional models with nearest - neighbor interactions $I_n, n\in \mathbf{Z}$ and spin values $\pm 1$. We derive systems of recursive equations for each kind of such…
