In this paper, we develop a non-asymptotic local normal approximation for multinomial probabilities. First, we use it to find non-asymptotic total variation bounds between the measures induced by uniformly jittered multinomials and the…

Linear combinations of chi square random variables occur in a wide range of fields. Unfortunately, a closed, analytic expression for the pdf is not yet known. As a first result of this work, an explicit analytic expression for the density…

The cumulative distribution function of the non-central chi-square distribution $\chi_\nu'^2(\lambda),\, \nu\in\mathbb{R}^+$ possesses an integral representation in terms of a generalized Marcum $Q$-function. Regarding some already known…

For testing goodness of fit it is very popular to use either the chi square statistic or G statistics (information divergence). Asymptotically both are chi square distributed so an obvious question is which of the two statistics that has a…

Given f in Z[x_1,...,x_n], we compute the density of x in Z^n such that f(x) is squarefree, assuming the abc conjecture. Given f,g in Z[x_1,...,x_n], we compute unconditionally the density of x in Z^n such that gcd(f(x),g(x))=1. Function…
