Let $L$ be a convex cone of real random variables on the probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{A},P_0)$. The existence of a probability $P$ on $\mathcal{A}$ such that $$ P \sim P_0,\quad E_P \abs{X}< \infty\, \text{ and } \, E_P(X) \leq 0\,…

A copula of continuous random variables $X$ and $Y$ is called an \emph{implicit dependence copula} if there exist functions $\alpha$ and $\beta$ such that $\alpha(X) = \beta(Y)$ almost surely, which is equivalent to $C$ being factorizable…

In this paper, we consider the sums of non-negative integer valued $m$-dependent random variables, and its approximation to the power series distribution. We first discuss some relevant results for power series distribution such as Stein…

Let $Gr(d,n)$ be the Grassmannian of $d$-dimensional linear subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$. A submanifold $X\subset Gr(d, n)$ gives rise to a differential system $\Sigma(X)$ that governs $d$-dimensional submanifolds of $V$…

We introduce the concept of an extremely negatively dependent (END) sequence of random variables with a given common marginal distribution. The END structure, as a new benchmark for negative dependence, is comparable to comonotonicity and…

We present an algorithm that takes a discrete random variable $X$ and a number $m$ and computes a random variable whose support (set of possible outcomes) is of size at most $m$ and whose Kolmogorov distance from $X$ is minimal. In addition…

We study the problem of estimating E(g(X)), where g is a real-valued function of d variables and X is a d-dimensional Gaussian vector with a given covariance matrix. We present a new unbiased estimator for E(g(X)) that combines the…

Let $\{X_i,i\geq1\}$ be a sequence of negatively associated random variables, and let $\{X_i^\ast,i\geq 1\}$ be a sequence of independent random variables such that $X_i^\ast$ and $X_i$ have the same distribution for each $i$. Denote by…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, connected graph. We consider a greedy selection of vertices: given a list of vertices $x_1, \dots, x_k$, take $x_{k+1}$ to be any vertex maximizing the sum of distances to the existing vertices and iterate: we…

We show that if a polynomial $f\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is nonnegative on a closed basic semialgebraic set $X=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:g_1(x)\ge 0,\ldots,g_r (x)\ge 0\}$, where $g_1,\ldots,g_r\in\mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, then $f$ can be…

Let $X$ be a random vector valued in $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ such that $\|X\|_{2} \le 1$ almost surely. For every $k\ge 3$, we show that there exists a sigma algebra $\mathcal{F}$ generated by a partition of $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ into $k$ sets such…

Recently Ruckle \cite{RuckleArithmeticalSummability} introduced the theory of arithmetical summability suggested by the sum $ \sum_{k|m}f(k) $ as $ k $ ranges over the divisors of $m$ including $ 1 $ and $ m .$ Following Ruckle…
