We consider the notion of an exponential dichotomy with respect to a family of norms for an evolutionary family in a Banach space, and we characterize it by the admissibility of the pair $(L^p,L^q)$ for $p,q \in [1,\infty]$ with $p\ge q$.…

As a part of our works on effective properties of probability distributions, we deal with the corresponding characteristic functions. A sequence of probability distributions is computable if and only if the corresponding sequence of…
It is shown that the exponential is the only distribution which satisfies a certain regression equation. This characterization equation involves the conditional expectation (regression function) of a record value given a pair of record…
Exponential families are widely used in machine learning, including many distributions in continuous and discrete domains (e.g., Gaussian, Dirichlet, Poisson, and categorical distributions via the softmax transformation). Distributions in…
Exponential families form the backbone of modern statistics and machine learning, but textbooks seldom derive them from first principles in an accessible way. Although minimal sufficiency and the principle of maximum entropy, originating in…
