Suppose that $\m{U} = (U_1, \ldots , U_d) $ has a Uniform$([0,1]^d)$ distribution, that $\m{Y} = (Y_1 , \ldots , Y_d) $ has the distribution $G$ on $\RR_+^d$, and let $\m{X} = (X_1 , \ldots , X_d) = (U_1 Y_1 , \ldots , U_d Y_d )$. The…

Let $P$ be an $m$-homogeneous polynomial in $n$-complex variables $x_1, \dotsc, x_n$. Clearly, $P$ has a unique representation in the form \begin{equation*} P(x)= \sum_{1 \leq j_1 \leq \dotsc \leq j_m \leq n} c_{(j_1, \dotsc, j_m)} \,…

We consider the problem of finding a real valued martingale fitting specified marginal distributions. For this to be possible, the marginals must be increasing in the convex order and have constant mean. We show that, under the extra…

We introduce a family of probabilistic {\it scale-invariant} Leibniz-like pyramids and $(d+1)$-dimensional hyperpyramids ($d=1,2,3,...$), characterized by a parameter $\nu>0$, whose value determines the degree of correlation between $N$…

A Fr\'echet mean of a random variable $Y$ with values in a metric space $(\mathcal Q, d)$ is an element of the metric space that minimizes $q \mapsto \mathbb E[d(Y,q)^2]$. This minimizer may be non-unique. We study strong laws of large…

We are concerned with the general problem of proving the existence of joint distributions of two discrete random variables $M$ and $N$ subject to infinitely many constraints of the form $\mathbb{P}\left(M=i,N=j\right)=0$. In particular, the…

We develop a Glivenko--Cantelli theory for monotone, almost additive functions of i.\,i.\,d.\ sequences of random variables indexed by~$\Z^d$. Under certain conditions on the random sequence, short range correlations are allowed as well. We…

We obtain asymptotic expansions for probabilities $\mathbb{P}(S_N=k)$ of partial sums of uniformly bounded integer-valued functionals $S_N=\sum_{n=1}^N f_n(X_n)$ of uniformly elliptic inhomogeneous Markov chains. The expansions involve…

Motivated by some cutting edge circular data such as from Smart Home technologies and roulette spins from online and casino, we construct some new rich classes of discrete distributions on the circle. We give four new general methods of…

Let $(X_k)_{k\geq 1}$ and $(Y_k)_{k\geq 1}$ be two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables, with values in a finite and totally ordered alphabet $\mathcal{A}_m:=\{1,\dots,m\}$, and having respective probability mass function…

Let $X$, $X_1$, $X_2$, $...$ be i.i.d. random variables, and let $S_n=X_1+... + X_n$ be the partial sums and $M_n=\max_{k\le n}|S_k|$ be the maximum partial sums. We give the sufficient and necessary conditions for a kind of limit theorems…

We develop new characteristic-independent combinatorial criteria for semiampleness of divisors on $\overline{M}_{0,n}$. As an application, we associate to a cyclic rational quadratic form satisfying a certain balancedness condition an…

Let $\{X_{i}, i\in J\}$ be a family of locally dependent non-negative integer-valued random variables with finite expectations and variances. We consider the sum $W=\sum_{i\in J}X_i$ and use Stein's method to establish general upper error…

For a square integrable $m$-dimensional random variable $X$ on a probability space $(\Omega,\Fc,\Pr)$ and a sub sigma algebra $\Ac$, we show that there is a constructive way to represent $X-\Er[X\mid\Ac]$ as the sum of a series of variables…

We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the sum of M independent continuous random variables modulo 1 to converge to the uniform distribution in L^1([0,1]), and discuss generalizations to discrete random variables. A consequence…

A random balanced sample (RBS) is a multivariate distribution with n components X_1,...,X_n, each uniformly distributed on [-1, 1], such that the sum of these components is precisely 0. The corresponding vectors X lie in an…

In this paper we study ensembles of random symmetric matrices $\X_n = {X_{ij}}_{i,j = 1}^n$ with dependent entries such that $\E X_{ij} = 0$, $\E X_{ij}^2 = \sigma_{ij}^2$, where $\sigma_{ij}$ may be different numbers. Assuming that the…

We consider the problem of bounding large deviations for non-i.i.d. random variables that are allowed to have arbitrary dependencies. Previous works typically assumed a specific dependence structure, namely the existence of independent…

We consider a Random Graph Model on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ that incorporates the interplay between the statistics of the graph and the underlying space where the vertices are located. Based on a graphical construction of the model as the…
