DUS transformation of lifetime distributions received attention by engineers and researchers in recent years. The present study introduces a new class of distribution using exponentiation of DUS transformation. A new distribution using the…
We study asymptotic properties of expectation propagation (EP) -- a method for approximate inference originally developed in the field of machine learning. Applied to generalized linear models, EP iteratively computes a multivariate…
A method for generating random $U(1)$ variables with Boltzmann distribution is presented. It is based on the rejection method with transformation of variables. High efficiency is achieved for all range of temparatures or coupling…
We investigate a recursively generated sequence of random variables that begins with an Exponential random variable with parameter (i.e., inverse-mean) 1, and continues with additional Exponentials, each of whose random parameter possesses…
Counting experiments often rely on Monte Carlo simulations for predictions of Poisson expectations. The accompanying uncertainty from the finite Monte Carlo sample size can be incorporated into parameter estimation by modifying the Poisson…
We propose a new method for estimating the extreme quantiles for a function of several dependent random variables. In contrast to the conventional approach based on extreme value theory, we do not impose the condition that the tail of the…
Quantitative studies in many fields involve the analysis of multivariate data of diverse types, including measurements that we may consider binary, ordinal and continuous. One approach to the analysis of such mixed data is to use a copula…
Some new survival distributions are introduced based on a generalised exponential function. This class of distributions includes heavy-tailed generalisations of exponential, Weibull and gamma distributions. Properties of the distributions…
In this note, we formulate a "one-sided" version of Wormald's differential equation method. In the standard "two-sided" method, one is given a family of random variables which evolve over time and which satisfy some conditions including a…
We prove new lower bounds on the likely size of a maximum independent set in a random graph with a given average degree. Our method is a weighted version of the second moment method, where we give each independent set a weight based on the…
For a sample of absolutely bounded i.i.d. random variables with a continuous density the cumulative distribution function of the sample variance is represented by a univariate integral over a Fourier series. If the density is a polynomial…

The Ewens sampling formula with parameter $\alpha$ is the distribution on $S_n$ which gives each $\pi\in S_n$ weight proportional to $\alpha^{C(\pi)}$, where $C(\pi)$ is the number of cycles of $\pi$. We show that, for any fixed $\alpha$,…
We introduce a directed, weighted random graph model, where the edge-weights are independent and beta-distributed with parameters depending on their endpoints. We will show that the row- and column-sums of the transformed edge-weight matrix…
