Multivariate discrete probability laws are considered. We show that such laws are quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if their characteristic functions are separated from zero. We generalize the existing results for the univariate…

We address the problem of testing for the invariance of a probability measure under the action of a group of linear transformations. We propose a procedure based on consideration of one-dimensional projections, justified using a variant of…

We study infinitely divisible (ID) distributions on the nonnegative half-line $\mathbb{R}_+$. The L\'{e}vy-Khintchine representation of such distributions is well-known. Our primary contribution is to cast the probabilistic objects and the…

Classes of multivariate and cone valued infinitely divisible Gamma distributions are introduced. Particular emphasis is put on the cone-valued case, due to the relevance of infinitely divisible distributions on the positive semi-definite…

We show how a Cram\'er-Wold theorem for a family of multivariate probability distributions can be used to generate a similar theorem for mixtures (convex combinations) of distributions drawn from the same family. Using this abstract result,…

Let $Z$ be a standard normal random variable (r.v.). It is shown that the distribution of the r.v. $\ln|Z|$ is infinitely divisible; equivalently, the standard normal distribution considered as the distribution on the multiplicative group…

Quasi-infinitely divisible (QID) distributions have been recently introduced by Lindner, Pan and Sato (\textit{Trans.~Amer.~Math.~Soc.}~\textbf{370}, 8483-8520 (2018)). A random variable $X$ is QID if and only if there exist two infinitely…

We consider the new class $\boldsymbol{Q}$ of rational-infinitely (or quasi-infinitely) divisible distribution functions on the real line. By definition, $F\in \boldsymbol{Q}$ if there are some infinitely divisible distribution functions…

We investigate generalizations of the Cram\'er theorem. This theorem asserts that a Gaussian random variable can be decomposed into the sum of independent random variables if and only if they are Gaussian. We prove asymptotic counterparts…
