Sampling bias is a foundational concept in statistics; associated bias transforms, such as size bias, have come to play important roles in probability theory of late. The first author and G. Reinert introduced zero bias, a transform whose…

We provide a robust and general algorithm for computing distribution functions associated to induced orthogonal polynomial measures. We leverage several tools for orthogonal polynomials to provide a spectrally-accurate method for a broad…

We review the properties of six families of orthogonal polynomials that form the main bulk of the collection called the Askey--Wilson scheme of polynomials. We give connection coefficients between them as well as the so-called linearization…

In this paper Fourier transform of multivariate orthogonal polynomials on the simplex is presented. A new family of multivariate orthogonal functions is obtained by using the Parseval's identity and several recurrence relations are derived.

We study the averaging-based distributed optimization solvers over random networks. We show a general result on the convergence of such schemes using weight-matrices that are row-stochastic almost surely and column-stochastic in expectation…

We propose a new general version of Stein's method for univariate distributions. In particular we propose a canonical definition of the Stein operator of a probability distribution {which is based on a linear difference or differential-type…

This article presents and reviews several basic properties of the Cumulative Ord family of distributions; this family contains all the commonly used discrete distributions. A complete classification of the Ord family of probability mass…

We present a new explicit family of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with a dense point spectrum. This family is expressed in terms of q-hypergeometric function of type ${_2}\phi_1$. The orthogonality measure is the wrapped…

Size bias occurs famously in waiting-time paradoxes, undesirably in sampling schemes, and unexpectedly in connection with Stein's method, tightness, analysis of the lognormal distribution, Skorohod embedding, infinite divisibility, and…

From the distributional characterizations that lie at the heart of Stein's method we derive explicit formulae for the mass functions of discrete probability laws that identify those distributions. These identities are applied to develop…

The proportional odds model gives a method of generating new family of distributions by adding a parameter, called tilt parameter, to expand an existing family of distributions. The new family of distributions so obtained is known as…

We present a general result giving us families of incomplete and boundedly complete families of discrete distributions. For such families, the classes of unbiased estimators of zero with finite variance and of parametric functions which…

Learning with identical train and test distributions has been extensively investigated both practically and theoretically. Much remains to be understood, however, in statistical learning under distribution shifts. This paper focuses on a…

We establish distributional estimates for noncommutative martingales, in the sense of decreasing rearrangements of the spectra of unbounded operators, which generalises the study of distributions of random variables. Our results include…

In this paper we introduce a new probability distribution on (0,1), associated with the I-function, namely, the I-function distribution. This distribution generalizes several known distributions with positive support. It is also shown that…

We consider the notion of the matrix (tensor) distribution of a measurable function of several variables. On the one hand, it is an invariant of this function with respect to a certain group of transformations of variables; on the other…

We give the exact distribution of the average of n independent beta random variables weighted by the selected cuts of (0, 1) by the order statistics of a random sample of size n-1 from the uniform distribution U(0,1), for each n. A new…

Any permutation has a disjoint cycle decomposition and concept generates an equivalence class on the symmetry group called the cycle-type. The main focus of this work is on permutations of restricted cycle-types, with particular emphasis on…

We present a new general theory of function-based hypergraph transformations on finite families of finite hypergraphs. A function-based hypergraph transformation formalises the action of structurally modifying hypergraphs from a family in a…

We introduce a new type of reduction of inversive difference polynomials that is associated with a partition of the basic set of automorphisms $\sigma$ and uses a generalization of the concept of effective order of a difference polynomial.…
