Approximate distributions for sum and difference of linearly correlated $\chi^{2}$ distributed random variables are derived. It is shown that they can be reduced to conveniently parametrized gamma and Variance-Gamma distributions,…
This paper presents likelihood-based inference methods for the family of univariate gamma-normal distributions GN({\alpha}, r, {\mu}, {\sigma}^2 ) that result from summing independent gamma({\alpha}, r) and N({\mu}, {\sigma}^2 ) random…
The paper considers the distribution of a general linear combination of central and non-central chi-square random variables by exploring the branch cut regions that appear in the standard Laplace inversion process. Due to the original…
Two--sided bounds are constructed for a probability density function of a weighted sum of chi-square variables. Both cases of central and non-central chi-square variables are considered. The upper and lower bounds have the same dependence…
We address the asymptotic and approximate distributions of a large class of test statistics with quadratic forms used in association studies. The statistics of interest do not necessarily follow a chi-square distribution and take the…
Exact expressions are given for the distribution function of the ratio of a weighted sum of independent chi-squared variables to a single chi-square variable, scaled appropriately. This distribution is the generalization of the classical F…
Unambiguous detection of signals superimposed on unknown trends is difficult for unevenly spaced data. Here, we formulate the Discrete Chi-square Method (DCM) that can determine the best model for many signals superimposed on arbitrary…
We consider the problem of numerically evaluating the expected value of a smooth bounded function of a chi-distributed random variable, divided by the square root of the number of degrees of freedom. This problem arises in the contexts of…
It is often necessary to compare the power spectra of two or more time series: one may, for instance, wish to estimate what the power spectrum of the combined data sets might have been, or one may wish to estimate the significance of a…
In this article, we obtain the exact distribution of a linear combination of bilateral gamma (BG) random variables (r.v.s). Next, we discuss the distributional properties of the linear combination of BG r.v.s, including probability density…
Multivariate generalized Gamma convolutions are distributions defined by a convolutional semi-parametric structure. Their flexible dependence structures, the marginal possibilities and their useful convolutional expression make them…
The distribution of the sum of r-th power of standard normal random variables is a generalization of the chi-squared distribution. In this paper, we represent the probability density function of the random variable by an one-dimensional…
We have investigated a weighted chi-square distribution of the variable $\xi$ which is a weighted sum of squared normally distributed independent variables whose weights are cosines of angles $\phi_k=2\pi k/N$, where $k \in \{0,1,...,N-1\}$…
We investigate the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in distribution towards a general finite linear combination of independent chi-squared random variables, within the framework of random objects living…
We represent the product of two correlated normal random variables, and more generally the sum of independent copies of such random variables, as a difference of two independent noncentral chi-square random variables (which we refer to as…
The question of testing for equality in distribution between two linear models, each consisting of sums of distinct discrete independent random variables with unequal numbers of observations, has emerged from the biological research. In…
We find an explicit formula for the gamma vector in terms of the input polynomial in a way that extends it to arbitrary polynomials. More specifically, we find explicit linear combination in terms of coefficients of the input polynomial…
Finding the product of two polynomials is an essential and basic problem in computer algebra. While most previous results have focused on the worst-case complexity, we instead employ the technique of adaptive analysis to give an improvement…
This paper derives the exact transition density and cumulative distribution function of a linear combination of two independent Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) processes. By combining the Poisson Gamma mixture representation of the noncentral…
This paper presents the probability distribution function (p.d.f.) and cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of the weighted sum of central independent chi-squared random variables with non-zero weighs based on a method using moment…
