We formulate an abstract notion of equidistribution for families of $\lambda$-probability spaces parameterized by admissible $\mathbb{Z}$-sets. Under the assumption of equidistribution, we show that the $\sigma$-moment generating functions…

A discrete-time stochastic process derived from a model of basketball is used to generalize any discrete distribution. The generalized distributions can have one or two more parameters than the parent distribution. Those derived from…

We consider random Hermitian matrices with independent upper triangular entries. Wigner's semicircle law says that under certain additional assumptions, the empirical spectral distribution converges to the semicircle distribution. We…

Mcduff had proposed in 1997 a way to modify the definition of Taubes' version of Gromov invariant when multiple coverings of -1 curves appear. In this paper we generalize Mcduff's proposal to the family case, as is needed in the discussion…

Given a probability distribution $\mu$ a set $\Lambda (\mu)$ of positive real numbers is introduced, so that $\Lambda (\mu)$ measures the "divisibility" of $\mu$. The basic properties of $\Lambda (\mu)$ are described and examples of…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure (or corresponding random variable) such that all moments $\mu_n$ exist. Knowledge of the moments is not sufficient to determine infinite divisibility of the measure; we show also that infinitely divisible,…

We develop two novel approaches for constructing skewed and bimodal flexible distributions that can effectively generalize classical symmetric distributions. We illustrate the application of introduced techniques by extending normal,…

Inspired by the notion of quasi-infinite divisibility (QID), we introduce and study the class of freely quasi-infinitely divisible (FQID) distributions on $\mathbb{R}$, i.e. distributions which admit the free L\'{e}vy-Khintchine-type…

Sine-skewed circular distributions are identifiable and have easily-computable trigonometric moments and a simple random number generation algorithm, whereas they are known to have relatively low levels of asymmetry. This study proposes a…

We study the joint distribution of SYK Hamiltonians for different systems with specified overlaps. We show that, in the large-system limit, their joint distribution converges in distribution to a mixed $q$-Gaussian system. We explain that…

We present a novel approach to estimating discrete distributions with (potentially) infinite support in the total variation metric. In a departure from the established paradigm, we make no structural assumptions whatsoever on the sampling…

We show that if $T$ is a dependent theory then so is its Keisler randomisation $T^R$. In order to do this we generalise the notion of a Vapnik-Chervonenkis class to families of $[0,1]$-valued functions (a \emph{continuous}…

Kagan and Shalaevski 1967 have shown that if the random variables $X_1,\dots,X_n$ are independent and identically distributed and the distribution of $\sum_{i=1}^n(X_i+a_i)^2$ $a_i\in \mathbb{R}$ depends only on $\sum_{i=1}^na_i^2$ , then…
