Recently the theory of widths of Kolmogorov (especially of Gelfand widths) has received a great deal of interest due to its close relationship with the newly born area of Compressed Sensing. It has been realized that widths reflect properly…
In this paper we have introduced a generalized version of alpha beta skew normal distribution in the same line of Sharafi et al. (2017) and investigated some of its basic properties. The extensions of the proposed distribution have also…

We consider a particular generalized Lambert function, $y(x)$, defined by the implicit equation $y^\beta = 1 - e^{-xy}$, with $x>0$ and $ \beta > 1$. Solutions to this equation can be found in terms of a certain continued exponential.…
The normalized incomplete beta function can be defined either as cumulative distribution function of beta density or as the Gauss hypergeometric function with one of the upper parameters equal to unity. Logarithmic concavity/convexity of…
Bayesian probabilistic numerical methods are a set of tools providing posterior distributions on the output of numerical methods. The use of these methods is usually motivated by the fact that they can represent our uncertainty due to…
Bayesian optimization has proven to be a highly effective methodology for the global optimization of unknown, expensive and multimodal functions. The ability to accurately model distributions over functions is critical to the effectiveness…
We discuss a bivariate beta distribution that can model arbitrary beta-distributed marginals with a positive correlation. The distribution is constructed from six independent gamma-distributed random variates. We show how the parameters of…
The break-by-one gamma distribution has a probability density function resembling the Schechter function, but with the small-argument behavior modified so it is normalizable in commonly arising cases where the Schechter function is not. Its…
This article derives several properties of the Riesz distributions, such as their corresponding Bartlett decompositions, the inverse Riesz distributions and the distribution of the generalised variance for real normed division algebras. In…
We calculate some infinite sums containing the digamma function in closed-form. These sums are related either to the incomplete beta function or to the Bessel functions. The calculations yield interesting new results as by-products, such as…
The classical beta function B(x; y) is one of the most fundamental special functions, due to its important role in various fields in the mathematical, physical, engineering and statistical sciences. Useful extensions of the classical Beta…
Chen's iterated integrals may be generalized by interpolation of functions of the positive integer number of times which particular forms are iterated in integrals along specific paths, to certain complex values. These generalized iterated…
We derive the conjugate prior of the Dirichlet and beta distributions and explore it with numerical examples to gain an intuitive understanding of the distribution itself, its hyperparameters, and conditions concerning its convergence. Due…
We generalize a size-biased distribution related to the Riemann xi function using the work of Ferrar. Some analysis and properties of this more general distribution are offered as well.
In this paper we demonstrate that a well known linear inequality method developed for rational Chebyshev approximation is equivalent to the application of the bisection method used in quasiconvex optimisation. Although this correspondence…
A central problem in computational statistics is to convert a procedure for sampling combinatorial from an objects into a procedure for counting those objects, and vice versa. Weconsider sampling problems coming from *Gibbs distributions*,…
