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…
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…
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…
The generalized Marcum functions appear in problems of technical and scientific areas such as, for example, radar detection and communications. In mathematical statistics and probability theory these functions are called the noncentral…
In this paper we consider the probability density function (PDF) of the non-central $\chi^2$ distribution with arbitrary number of degrees of freedom and non-centrality. For this function we find the approximate location of the maximum and…
We apply the holonomic gradient method to compute the distribution function of a weighted sum of independent noncentral chi-square random variables. It is the distribution function of the squared length of a multivariate normal random…
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…
Three types of integral representations for the cumulative distribution functions of convolutions of non-central p-variate gamma distributions are given by integration of elementary complex functions over the p-cube Cp =…
The generalized Marcum functions $Q_{\mu}(x,y)$ and $P_{\mu}(x,y)$ have as particular cases the non-central $\chi^2$ and gamma cumulative distributions, which become central distributions (incomplete gamma function ratios) when the…
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…
A (p-1)-variate integral representation is given for the cumulative distribution function of the general p-variate non-central gamma distribution with a non-centrality matrix of any admissible rank. The real part of products of well known…
Methods and an algorithm for computing the generalized Marcum $Q-$function ($Q_{\mu}(x,y)$) and the complementary function ($P_{\mu}(x,y)$) are described. These functions appear in problems of different technical and scientific areas such…
Properties satisfied by the moments of the partial non-central chi-square distribution function, also known as Nuttall Q-functions, and methods for computing these moments are discussed in this paper. The Nuttall Q-function is involved in…
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…
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 $k \in \{0,1,...,N-1\}$…
The noncentral $t$-distribution is a generalization of the Student's $t$-distribution. In this paper we suggest an alternative approach for computing the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the noncentral $t$-distribution which is…
In this correspondence, we point out two typographical errors in Chai and Tjhung's paper and we offer the correct formula of the unified Laguerre polynomial-series-based cumulative distribution function (cdf) for small-scale fading…
We show that the distribution of the scalar Schur complement in a noncentral Wishart matrix is a mixture of central chi-square distributions with different degrees of freedom. For the case of a rank-1 noncentrality matrix, the weights of…
A noncentral chi-square density is log-concave if the degree of freedom is nu>=2. We complement this known result by showing that, for each 0<nu<2, there exists lambda_nu>0 such that the chi-square with nu degrees of freedom and…
A probability inequality is proved for n-fold convolutions of a smooth cumulative distribution function on (0,infinity)x...x(0,infinity), which is multivariate totally positive of order 2 (MTP2). This inequality is better than an inequality…
