This work considers the quadratic Gaussian multiterminal (MT) source coding problem and provides a new sufficient condition for the Berger-Tung sum-rate bound to be tight. The converse proof utilizes a set of virtual remote sources given…
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the sequences of positive numbers, for which multiplication with Fourier coefficients of functions $f\in$ Lip1 class provides absolute convergence of Fourier series. In particular we found…
This article deals with goodness-of-fit test for the Cauchy distribution. Some tests based on Kullback-Leibler information are proposed, and shown to be consistent. Monte Carlo evidence indicates that the tests have satisfactory…
We introduce a new characterization of the Cauchy distribution and propose a class of goodness-of-fit tests to the Cauchy family. The limit distribution is derived in a Hilbert space framework under the null hypothesis and under fixed…
This paper explores certain kinds of empirical process with respect to the components of multivariate Gaussian. We put forward some finite sample bounds which hold for multivariate Gaussian under general dependence. We give necessary and…
We consider complete convergence and closely related Hsu-Robbins-Erdos-Spitzer-Baum-Katz series for sums whose terms are elements of a linear 2-nd order autoregressive sequences of random variables and prove sufficient conditions for the…
We establish unconditional $\Omega$-results for all weighted even moments of primes in arithmetic progressions. We also study the moments of these moments and establish lower bounds under GRH. Finally, under GRH and LI we prove an…
Theoretical results for importance sampling rely on the existence of certain moments of the importance weights, which are the ratios between the proposal and target densities. In particular, a finite variance ensures square root convergence…
Given a birth-death process on $\mathbb {N}$ with semigroup $(P_t)_{t\geq0}$ and a discrete gradient ${\partial}_u$ depending on a positive weight $u$, we establish intertwining relations of the form ${\partial}_uP_t=Q_t\,{\partial}_u$,…
We develop a numerical approach for computing the additive, multiplicative and compressive convolution operations from free probability theory. We utilize the regularity properties of free convolution to identify (pairs of) `admissible'…
For the supercritical contact process on the hyper-cubic lattice started from a single infection at the origin and conditioned on survival, we establish two uniformity results for the hitting times $t(x)$, defined for each site $x$ as the…
The problem of finding a positive distribution, which corresponds to a given complex density, is studied. By the requirement that the moments of the positive distribution and of the complex density are equal, one can reduce the problem to…
We propose a goodness-of-fit test for a class of count time series models with covariates which includes the Poisson autoregressive model with covariates (PARX) as a special case. The test criteria are derived from a specific…
When permutation methods are used in practice, often a limited number of random permutations are used to decrease the computational burden. However, most theoretical literature assumes that the whole permutation group is used, and methods…
We give simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the inclusion-exclusion identity to hold for an infinite countable number of sets. In terms of a random variable, whose range are nonnegative integers, this condition is equivalent to…
A unified family of goodness-of-fit tests based on $\phi$-divergences is introduced and studied. The new family of test statistics $S_n(s)$ includes both the supremum version of the Anderson--Darling statistic and the test statistic of Berk…
A continuous-time particle system on the real line satisfying the branching property and an exponential integrability condition is called a branching L\'evy process, and its law is characterized by a triplet $(\sigma^2,a,\Lambda)$. We…
We give some conditions under which (uniform) convergence of a family of Dirichlet series to another Dirichlet series implies the convergence of their individual coefficients and/or exponents. We give some applications to some spectral zeta…
Conditions for almost sure extinction are studied in discrete time branching processes with an infinite number of types. It is not assumed that the expected number of children is a bounded function of the parent's type. There might also be…
Motivated, in part, by the desire to develop an information-theoretic foundation for compound Poisson approximation limit theorems (analogous to the corresponding developments for the central limit theorem and for simple Poisson…
