Copulas, generalized estimating equations, and generalized linear mixed models promote the analysis of grouped data where non-normal responses are correlated. Unfortunately, parameter estimation remains challenging in these three…
Set-valued quantiles for multivariate distributions with respect to a general convex cone are introduced which are based on a family of (univariate) distribution functions rather than on the joint distribution function. It is shown that…
Starting from the old idea that Fermi statistics for quarks play a fundamental role to explain some features of hadron structure, we study the modification of the scaling behaviour of parton distributions due to quantum statistical effects.…
This paper explores the possibility of establishing an analytic form of the distribution of the order parameter fluctuations in a two-dimensional critical spin wave model, or width fluctuations of a two dimensional Edwards-Wilkinson…
The authors consider the length, $l_N$, of the length of the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation of $N$ numbers. The main result in this paper is a proof that the distribution function for $l_N$, suitably centered and…
We suggest a new Hamiltonian lattice approach, using a regularisation motivated by deep inelastic scattering. We discuss the relation between distribution functions and the $F_1$ structure function. We have tested this method by computing…
The machine learning community has recently put effort into quantized or low-precision arithmetics to scale large models. This paper proposes performing probabilistic inference in the quantized, discrete parameter space created by these…
The particle distribution function that describes two interpenetrating plasma streams is re-investigated. It is shown how, based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann-J\"uttner distribution function that has been derived almost a century ago, a…
Probability functions appear in constraints of many optimization problems in practice and have become quite popular. Understanding their first-order properties has proven useful, not only theoretically but also in implementable algorithms,…
The implementation of Bayesian predictive procedures under standard normal models is considered. Two distributions are of particular interest, the K-prime and K-square distributions. They also give exact inferences for simple and multiple…
Any empirical data can be approximated to one of Pearson distributions using the first four moments of the data (Elderton and Johnson, 1969; Pearson, 1895; Solomon and Stephens, 1978). Thus, Pearson distributions made statistical analysis…
Probability functions figure prominently in optimization problems of engineering. They may be nonsmooth even if all input data are smooth.This fact motivates the consideration of subdifferentials for such typically just continuous…
Sine-skewed circular distributions are identifiable and have easily-computable trigonometric moments and a simple random number generation algorithm, whereas they are known to have relatively low levels of asymmetry. This study proposes a…
This paper presents an extensive survey of regular distributions in natural and social sciences. The survey includes studies from a wide scope of academic disciplines, in order to create an inventory of the different mathematical functions…
We introduce a novel perspective by linking ordered probabilistic choice to copula theory, a mathematical framework for modeling dependencies in multivariate distributions. Each representation of ordered probabilistic choice behavior can be…
Commonly observed patterns typically follow a few distinct families of probability distributions. Over one hundred years ago, Karl Pearson provided a systematic derivation and classification of the common continuous distributions. His…
We construct a new distribution for the simplex using the Kumaraswamy distribution and an ordered stick-breaking process. We explore and develop the theoretical properties of this new distribution and prove that it exhibits symmetry under…
We present a theory of particles, obeying intermediate statistics ("anyons"), interpolating between Bosons and Fermions, based on the principle of Detailed Balance. It is demonstrated that the scattering probabilities of identical particles…
An original approach to solving rather difficult probabilistic problems arising in studying the readout of random discrete fields and having no exact analytical solutions at the moment is proposed. Several algorithms for direct, iterative,…
