We introduce new shape-constrained classes of distribution functions on R, the bi-$s^*$-concave classes. In parallel to results of D\"umbgen, Kolesnyk, and Wilke (2017) for what they called the class of bi-log-concave distribution…

Nonparametric statistics for distribution functions F or densities f=F' under qualitative shape constraints provides an interesting alternative to classical parametric or entirely nonparametric approaches. We contribute to this area by…

In this paper, we study the approximation and estimation of $s$-concave densities via R\'enyi divergence. We first show that the approximation of a probability measure $Q$ by an $s$-concave densities exists and is unique via the procedure…

We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…

In the past several subclasses of starlike functions are defined involving real part and modulus of certain expressions of functions under study, combined by way of an inequality. In the similar fashion, we introduce a new class…

The confluent hypergeometric functions (the Kummer functions) defined by ${}_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}\ (\gamma\neq 0,-1,-2,\cdots)$, which are of many properties and great…

The functionals on an ordered semigroup S in the category Cu--a category to which the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra naturally belongs--are investigated. After appending a new axiom to the category Cu, it is shown that the "realification"…

We consider a new class $\boldsymbol{Q}$ of distribution functions $F$ that have the property of rational-infinite divisibility: there exist some infinitely divisible distribution functions $F_1$ and $F_2$ such that $F_1=F*F_2$. A…

The article deals with the class ${\mathcal F}_{\alpha }$ consisting of non-vanishing functions $f$ that are analytic and univalent in $\ID$ such that the complement $\IC\backslash f(\ID) $ is a convex set, $f(1)=\infty ,$ $f(0)=1$ and the…

Bi-log-concavity of probability measures is a univariate extension of the notion of log-concavity that has been recently proposed in a statistical literature. Among other things, it has the nice property from a modelisation perspective to…

We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…

In this paper we study class $\mathcal{S}^+$ of univalent functions $f$ such that $\frac{z}{f(z)}$ has real and positive coefficients. For such functions we give estimates of the Fekete-Szeg\H{o} functional and sharp estimates of their…

This paper studies estimation of and inference on a distribution function $F$ that is concave on the nonnegative half line and admits a density function $f$ with potentially unbounded support. When $F$ is strictly concave, we show that the…
