Exact Probability Distribution versus Entropy
The problem addressed concerns the determination of the average number of successive attempts of guessing a word of a certain length consisting of letters with given probabilities of occurrence. Both firstand second-order approximations to a natural language are considered. The guessing strategy used is guessing words in decreasing order of probability. When word and alphabet sizes are large, a...
متن کاملAsymptotic probability distributions of some permutation statistics
We present in this work results on some distributions of permutation statistics of random elements of the wreath product Gr,n = Cr ! Sn. We consider the distribution of the descent number, the flag major index, the excedance, and the number of fixed points, over the whole group Gr,n or over the subclasses of derangements and involutions. We compute the mean, variance and moment generating funct...
متن کاملThe exact probability distribution of the rank product statistics for replicated experiments.
The rank product method is a widely accepted technique for detecting differentially regulated genes in replicated microarray experiments. To approximate the sampling distribution of the rank product statistic, the original publication proposed a permutation approach, whereas recently an alternative approximation based on the continuous gamma distribution was suggested. However, both approximati...
متن کاملStationary probability density functions: An exact result
An exact expression is obtained for the probability density function (pdf) of any quantity measured in a general stationary process, in terms of conditional expectations of time derivatives of the signal. This expression indicates that the conditional expectations of both the time derivative squared and of the second time derivative influence the shape of the pdf, including its tails. A previou...
متن کاملOn the Concavity of Multivariate Probability Distribution Functions on the Concavity of Multivariate Probability Distribution Functions
We prove that the multivariate standard normal probability distribution function is concave for large argument values. The method of proof allows for the derivation of similar statements for other types of multivariate probability distribution functions too. The result has important application, e.g., in probabilistic constrained stochastic programming problems.
