We propose in this paper a new method to compute the characteristic function (CF) of generalized Gaussian (GG) random variable in terms of the Fox H function. The CF of the sum of two independent GG random variables is then deduced. Based…
We derive a fully analytical, one-line closed-form expression for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the product of two correlated zero-mean normal random variables, avoiding any series representation. This result complements the…
A sum of lognormal random variables (RVs) appears in many problems of science and engineering. For example, it is invloved in computing the distribution of recevied signal and interference powers for radio channels subject to lognormal…
The statistical characterization of the sum of random variables (RVs) are useful for investigating the performance of wireless communication systems. We derive exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and…
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…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent variance-gamma random variables with zero location parameter; then the exact probability density function of the product $XY$ is derived. Some basic distributional properties are also derived, including…
In probability theory, the Chernoff bound gives exponentially decreasing bounds on tail distributions for sums of independent random variables and such bound is applied at different fields in science and engineering. In this work, we…
We derive the probability distribution of product of two independent random variables, each distributed according the one-dimensional stable law. We represent the density by its power series and its asymptotic expansions. As Fox's…
We consider the problem of evaluating the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the sum of order statistics, which serves to compute outage probability (OP) values at the output of generalized selection combining receivers. Generally,…
The Chernoff bound is an important inequality relation in probability theory. The original version of the Chernoff bound is to give an exponential decreasing bound on the tail distribution of sums of independent random variables. Recent…
In this paper, the statistical properties of the product of independent and non-identically distributed mixture Gamma (MG) random variables (RVs) are provided first. Specifically, simple exact closed-form expressions for the probability…
This paper proposes a comprehensive and unprecedented framework that streamlines the derivation of exact, compact -- yet tractable -- solutions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the sum…
The central limit for the product of free random variables are studied by evaluating all the moments of the limit distribution. The logarithm of the central limit is found to be the same as the sum of two independent free random variables:…
The product of two zero mean correlated normal random variables, and more generally the sum of independent copies of such random variables, has received much attention in the statistics literature and appears in many application areas.…
Let $\{X_{i,j}:(i,j)\in\mathbb N^2\}$ be a two-dimensional array of independent copies of a random variable $X$, and let $\{N_n\}_{n\in\mathbb N}$ be a sequence of natural numbers such that $\lim_{n\to\infty}e^{-cn}N_n=1$ for some $c>0$.…
We derive the exact probability density function of the product of $N$ independent variance-gamma random variables with zero location parameter. We then apply this formula to derive formulas for the cumulative distribution function and…
This paper develops an optimal Chernoff type bound for the probabilities of large deviations of sums $\sum_{k=1}^n f (X_k)$ where $f$ is a real-valued function and $(X_k)_{k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}}$ is a finite state Markov chain with an…
We study sums of a random multiplicative function; this is an example, of number-theoretic interest, of sums of products of independent random variables (chaoses). Using martingale methods, we establish a normal approximation for the sum…
Multiplicative self-decomposable laws describe random variables that can be decomposed into a product of a scaled-down version of themselves and an independent residual term. Shanbhag et al.~(1977) have shown that the gamma distribution is…
Let $F$ be the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the base-$q$ expansion $\sum_{n=1}^\infty X_n q^{-n}$, where $q\ge2$ is an integer and $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ is a stationary stochastic process with state space $\{0,\ldots,q-1\}$. In a…
