We discuss in detail the asymptotic distribution of sample expectiles. First, we show uniform consistency under the assumption of a finite mean. In case of a finite second moment, we show that for expectiles other then the mean, only the…

We present novel bounds for estimating discrete probability distributions under the $\ell_\infty$ norm. These are nearly optimal in various precise senses, including a kind of instance-optimality. Our data-dependent convergence guarantees…

Probability distributions defined on the half space are known to be quite different from those in the full space. Here, a nonextensive entropic treatment is presented for the half space in an analytic and self-consistent way. In this…

We state some inequalities for m-divisible and infinite divisible characteristic functions. Basing on them we propose a statistical test for a distribution to be infinitely divisible. Keywords: infinite divisible distributions; statistical…

We consider a type of nonnormal approximation of infinitely divisible distributions that incorporates compound Poisson, Gamma, and normal distributions. The approximation relies on achieving higher orders of cumulant matching, to obtain…

We prove that symmetric Meixner distributions, whose probability densities are proportional to $|\Gamma(t+ix)|^2$, are freely infinitely divisible for $0<t\leq\frac{1}{2}$. The case $t=\frac{1}{2}$ corresponds to the law of L\'evy's…

For the Riemann zeta-function, we introduce a function such that it is a characteristic function of an infinitely divisible distribution on the real line if and only if the Riemann Hypothesis is true.

We study anomalous diffusion for one-dimensional systems described by a generalized Langevin equation. We show that superdiffusion can be classified in slow superdiffusion and fast superdiffusion. For fast superdiffusion we prove that the…

Log-concave distributions include some important distributions such as normal distribution, exponential distribution and so on. In this note, we show inequalities between two Lp-norms for log-concave distributions on the Euclidean space.…

Let $T\_n$ denote the set of unrooted labeled trees of size $n$ and let $T\_n$ be a particular (finite, unlabeled) tree. Assuming that every tree of $T\_n$ is equally likely, it is shown that the limiting distribution as $n$ goes to…

Let $K_n$ denote the number of distinct values among the first $n$ terms of an infinite exchangeable sequence of random variables $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$. We prove for $n=3$ that the extreme points of the convex set of all possible laws of $K_3$…

Let $\eta_{1},\eta_2,...$ be independent (not necessarily identically distributed) zero-mean random variables (r.v.'s) such that $|\eta_i|\le1$ almost surely for all $i$, and let $Z$ stand for a standard normal r.v. Let $a_1,a_2,...$ be any…

The notion of random self-decomposability is generalized here. Its relation to self-decomposability, Harris infinite divisibility and its connection with a stationary first order generalized autoregressive model are presented. The notion is…

The Weibull distribution can be obtained using a power transformation from the standard exponential distribution. In this article, we will consider a symmetrized power transformation of a random variable with the standard normal…

A bound for functional $\Delta(F)=\sup_{x\in\mathbb R}|F(x)-\Phi(x)|$ is obtained, which is uniform for all distribution functions $F$ of random variables with zero mean-value and unity variance. Moreover, a two-point distribution is found,…

We outline some simple prescriptions to define a distribution on the set $\mathbb{Q}_0$ of all the rational numbers in $[0,1]$, and we then explore both a few properties of these distributions, and the possibility of making these rational…

We construct the generalized entropy optimized by a given arbitrary statistical distribution with a finite linear expectation value of a random quantity of interest. This offers, via the maximum entropy principle, a unified basis for a…
