We call a random point measure infinitely ramified if for every $n\in \mathbb N$, it has the same distribution as the $n$-th generation of some branching random walk. On the other hand, branching L\'evy processes model the evolution of a…
Several representations of the exact cdf of the sum of squares of n independent gamma-distributed random variables Xi are given, in particular by a series of gamma distribution functions. Using a characterization of the gamma distribution…
Process convolutions yield random fields with flexible marginal distributions and dependence beyond Gaussianity, but statistical inference is often hampered by a lack of closed-form marginal distributions, and simulation-based inference may…
The relevance of radiative corrections to 4f production at LEP2 and future e+e- colliders is emphasized, and their treatment in the event generator RacoonWW is briefly discussed. In particular, the non-universal corrections are compared…
The likelihood function plays a pivotal role in statistical inference; it is adaptable to a wide range of models and the resultant estimators are known to have good properties. However, these results hinge on correct specification of the…
In the paper we study stochastic convolution appearing in Volterra equation driven by so called L\'evy process. By L\'evy process we mean a process with homogeneous independent increments, continuous in probability and cadlag.
While there is substantial need for dependence models in higher dimensions, most existing models quickly become rather restrictive and barely balance parsimony and flexibility. Hierarchical constructions may improve on that by grouping…
We investigate in multidimensional compound Poisson processes (CPP) the relation between the dependence structure of the jump distribution and the dependence structure of the respective components of the CPP itself. For this purpose the…
We analyze confining mechanisms for L\'{e}vy flights. When they evolve in suitable external potentials their variance may exist and show signatures of a superdiffusive transport. Two classes of stochastic jump - type processes are…
This is the first of two articles dealing with the equation $(-\Delta)^{s} v= f(v)$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, with $s\in (0,1)$, where $(-\Delta)^{s}$ stands for the fractional Laplacian ---the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy process. This…
Consider a random vector $U$, whose distribution function coincides in its upper tail with that of an Archimedean copula. We report the fact that the conditional distribution of $U$, conditional on one of its components, has under a mild…
This paper considers the problem of estimating probabilities of the form $\mathbb{P}(Y \leq w)$, for a given value of $w$, in the situation that a sample of i.i.d.\ observations $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ of $X$ is available, and where we…
This note examines linear combinations of multi-indexed sequences and derives the multivariate generating function of such a linear combination in terms of the original sequence's m.g.f. Applications include finding distributions and…
The Stiefel manifold $V_{p,d}$ is the space of all $d \times p$ orthonormal matrices, with the $d-1$ hypersphere and the space of all orthogonal matrices constituting special cases. In modeling data lying on the Stiefel manifold, parametric…
Factor models are a parsimonious way to explain the dependence of variables using several latent variables. In Gaussian 1-factor and structural factor models (such as bi-factor, oblique factor) and their factor copula counterparts, factor…
We introduce the coverage correlation coefficient, a novel nonparametric measure of statistical association designed to quantifies the extent to which two random variables have a joint distribution concentrated on a singular subset with…
Stated choice probabilities are increasingly used in conjunction with the random-coefficient model (RCM) to describe individual preferences. They allow survey respondents to express uncertainty about the future or the incompleteness of a…
Making use of the total variation of particular functions, we give an explicit formula for the pointwise supremum of the set of all copulas with a given curvilinear section. When the pointwise supremum is a copula is characterized. We also…
Often of primary interest in the analysis of multivariate data are the copula parameters describing the dependence among the variables, rather than the univariate marginal distributions. Since the ranks of a multivariate dataset are…
In this paper we study random induced subgraphs of Cayley graphs of the symmetric group induced by an arbitrary minimal generating set of transpositions. A random induced subgraph of this Cayley graph is obtained by selecting permutations…
