Our aim is to give for some classes non-additive measures some limit theorems. For balanced games we obtain a weak and strong law of large numbers for bounded random variables, a sharper conclusion is obtain with exact games. We provide an…

Many complex generative systems use languages to create structured objects. We consider a model of random languages, defined by weighted context-free grammars. As the distribution of grammar weights broadens, a transition is found from a…

For $1\le p \le \infty$, the Fr\'echet $p$-mean of a probability measure on a metric space is an important notion of central tendency that generalizes the usual notions in the real line of mean ($p=2$) and median ($p=1$). In this work we…

Since the appearance of H. Robbins article (1948), the central limit theorems for random sums have been studied for about 70 years. The central limit theorems for random sums of independent random variables play a very important role in…

A large class of problems in sciences and engineering can be formulated as the general problem of constructing random intervals with pre-specified coverage probabilities for the mean. Wee propose a general approach for statistical inference…

We consider a class of growing random graphs obtained by creating vertices sequentially one by one: at each step, we choose uniformly the neighbours of the newly created vertex; its degree is a random variable with a fixed but arbitrary…

We study generalized means whose domain may contain unbounded sets as well. We investigate usual properties of this type of means and also new attributes that regard for such means only. We examine how a mean defined on bounded sets can be…

We consider weighted sums of independent random variables regulated by an increment sequence. We provide operative conditions that ensure strong law of large numbers for such sums to hold in both the centered and non-centered case. The…

We establish bounds on the probability that two different agents, who share an initial opinion expressed as a probability distribution on an abstract probability space, given two different sources of information, may come to radically…

We present an analytic method for computing the moments of a sum of independent and identically distributed random variables. The limiting behavior of these sums is very important to statistical theory, and the moment expressions that we…

In this paper, by using the representation theorem for sublinear expectations, we give a simple proof to obtain two inequalities about the sample mean for independent random vectors under sublinear expectations.

We question the commonly accepted statement that random numbers certified by Bell's theorem carry some special sort of randomness, so to say, quantum randomness or intrinsic randomness. We show that such numbers can be easily generated by…

In probability theory, there is a tendency to treat one random variable with a given distribution as being just as good as any other. By and large this is fine because probability is (mostly) concerned with distributional properties of…

While Kolmogorov's probability axioms are widely recognized, it is less well known that in an often-overlooked 1930 note, Kolmogorov proposed an axiomatic framework for a unifying concept of the mean -- referred to as regular means. This…
