Moments of convex distribution functions
We solve the moment problem for convex distribution functions on [0, 1] in terms of completely alternating sequences. This complements a recent solution of this problem by Diaconis and Freedman, and relates this work to the Lévy-Khintchine formula for the Laplace transform of a subordinator, and to regenerative composition structures.
متن کاملApproximating negative and harmonic mean moments for the Poisson distribution
Asymptotic expansions and the related approximations are constructed for the negative moments of the Poisson distribution and the moments of the harmonic mean of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Poisson random variable (r.v.). The accuracy of the approximations are assessed and applications to multi-centre clinical trials are outlined.
متن کاملMulti-level methods and approximating distribution functions
Biochemical reaction networks are often modelled using discrete-state, continuoustime Markov chains. System statistics of these Markov chains usually cannot be calculated analytically and therefore estimates must be generated via simulation techniques. There is a well documented class of simulation techniques known as exact stochastic simulation algorithms, an example of which is Gillespie’s di...
متن کاملApproximating Conditional Distribution Functions Using Dimension Reduction
Motivated by applications to prediction and forecasting, we suggest methods for approximating the conditional distribution function of a random variable Y given a dependent random d-vector X. The idea is to estimate not the distribution of Y |X, but that of Y |θX, where the unit vector θ is selected so that the approximation is optimal under a least-squares criterion. We show that θ may be esti...
متن کاملApproximating distribution functions by iterated function systems
In this small note an iterated function system on the space of distribution functions is built. The inverse problem is introduced and studied by convex optimization problems. Applications of this method to approximation of distribution functions and estimation are presented. Résumé. Dans cette petite note un système de fonction itéré sur l’espace de fonctions de repartition est construit. Le pr...
