The problem of determining the joint probability distributions for correlated random variables with pre-specified marginals is considered. When the joint distribution satisfying all the required conditions is not unique, the "most unbiased"…

We present a rapid method for the exact calculation of the cumulative distribution function of the maximum of multinomially distributed random variables. The method runs in time $O(mn)$, where $m$ is the desired maximum and $n$ is the…

In these expository notes, we describe some features of the multiplicative coalescent and its connection with random graphs and minimum spanning trees. We use Pitman's proof of Cayley's formula, which proceeds via a calculation of the…

Under the Riemann hypothesis, we use the distribution of zeros of the zeta function to get a lower bound for the maximum of some derivative of Hardy's function.

We provide an upper bound as a random variable for the functions of estimators in high dimensions. This upper bound may help establish the rate of convergence of functions in high dimensions. The upper bound random variable may converge…

A pedagogical account of some aspects of Extreme Value Statistics (EVS) is presented from the somewhat non-standard viewpoint of Large Deviation Theory. We address the following problem: given a set of $N$ i.i.d. random variables…

We deal with a sequence of integer-valued random variables $\{Z_N\}_{N=1}^{\infty}$ which is related to restricted partitions of positive integers. We observe that $Z_N=X_1+ \ldots + X_N$ for independent and bounded random variables…

We argue that the freezing transition scenario, previously explored in the statistical mechanics of 1/f-noise random energy models, also determines the value distribution of the maximum of the modulus of the characteristic polynomials of…

A central problem in computational statistics is to convert a procedure for sampling combinatorial from an objects into a procedure for counting those objects, and vice versa. Weconsider sampling problems coming from *Gibbs distributions*,…

Kotlarski (1978) proved a result on identification of the distributions of independent random variables $X,Y$ and $Z$ from the joint distribution of the bivariate random vector $(U,V)$ where $(U,V)= (\max(X,Z),\max(Y,Z)).$ We extend this…
