This paper focuses on inhomogeneous quadratic tests, which involve the sum of a dependent non-central chi-square with a Gaussian random variable. Unfortunately, no closed-form expression is available for the statistical distribution of the…
Randomized quadratures for integrating functions in Sobolev spaces of order $\alpha \ge 1$, where the integrability condition is with respect to the Gaussian measure, are considered. In this function space, the optimal rate for the…
We address the asymptotic and approximate distributions of a large class of test statistics with quadratic forms used in association studies. The statistics of interest do not necessarily follow a chi-square distribution and take the…
In this paper, we develop a non-asymptotic local normal approximation for multinomial probabilities. First, we use it to find non-asymptotic total variation bounds between the measures induced by uniformly jittered multinomials and the…
Let $ \chi $ be a character of a complex irreducible representation of a finite group $G$. We present a simple formula for the expectation of the random variable $(|\chi|/\chi(1))^{t} $ in terms of character ratios $…
The exponentially convergent trapezoidal rule is applied to a suitable integral representation of the Faddeeva function to derive a simple formula for its evaluation. I describe its properties, strategies for maximising its efficiency, and…
Linear combinations of chi square random variables occur in a wide range of fields. Unfortunately, a closed, analytic expression for the pdf is not yet known. As a first result of this work, an explicit analytic expression for the density…

The problem of estimating the regression function in a fixed design models with correlated observations is considered. Such observations are obtained from several experimental units, each of them forms a time series. Based on the…
In this work, we explore a time-fractional diffusion equation of order $\alpha \in (0,1)$ with a stochastic diffusivity parameter. We focus on efficient estimation of the expected values (considered as an infinite dimensional integral on…
We derive closed form expressions for the lower expectations that correspond to total variation distance and chi-squared divergence balls around a probability mass function over a finite set.
The quadrature error associated with a regular quadrature rule for evaluation of a layer potential increases rapidly when the evaluation point approaches the surface and the integral becomes nearly singular. Error estimates are needed to…
This paper deals with the error analysis of the trapezoidal rule for the computation of Fourier type integrals, based on two double exponential transformations. The theory allows to construct algorithms in which the steplength and the…
We have investigated a weighted chi-square distribution of the variable $\xi$ which is a weighted sum of squared normally distributed independent variables whose weights are cosines of angles $\phi_k=2\pi k/N$, where $k \in \{0,1,...,N-1\}$…
Driven by several successful applications such as in stochastic gradient descent or in Bayesian computation, control variates have become a major tool for Monte Carlo integration. However, standard methods do not allow the distribution of…
The distribution of the sum of r-th power of standard normal random variables is a generalization of the chi-squared distribution. In this paper, we represent the probability density function of the random variable by an one-dimensional…
