A generalization of the probability that the commutator of two group elements is equal to a given element
The probability that the commutator of two group elements is equal to a given element has been introduced in literature few years ago. Several authors have investigated this notion with methods of the representation theory and with combinatorial techniques. Here we illustrate that a wider context may be considered and show some structural restrictions on the group.
متن کاملEstimating the Probability that a Simulated
Consider a stochastic simulation experiment that generates v independent vector replications consisting of an observation from each of k systems. Typical system comparisons are based on mean (long-run) performance. However, the probability that a system will actually be the best is sometimes more relevant , and can provide a very diierent perspective than the systems' means. Empirically, we sel...
متن کاملEstimating the Probability of Events That have
Researchers sometimes argue that statisticians have little to contribute when few realizations of the process being estimated are observed. We show that this argument is incorrect even in the extreme situation of estimating the probabilities of events so rare that they have never occurred. We show how statistical forecasting models allow us to use empirical data to improve inferences about the ...
متن کاملEstimating a convex function in nonparametric regression
A new nonparametric estimate of a convex regression function is proposed and its stochastic properties are studied. The method starts with an unconstrained estimate of the derivative of the regression function, which is firstly isotonized and then integrated. We prove asymptotic normality of the new estimate and show that it is first order asymptotically equivalent to the initial unconstrained ...
متن کاملEstimating a function from ergodic samples with additive noise
We study the problem of estimating an unknown function from ergodic samples corrupted by additive noise. It is shown that one can consistently recover an unknown measurable function in this setting if the one dimensional distribution of the samples is comparable to a known reference distribution, and the noise is independent of the samples and has known mixing rates. The estimates are applied t...
