Exponential Size Distributions for Snow

Exponential and Piecewise Exponential Distributions

Since lifetimes are almost always non-negative, the normal model/distribution may not be appropriate. An easy to use, positive distribution is the exponential distribution. To a less extend, exponential distributions to the survival analysis is like normal distributions to the linear model/ANOVA. Piecewise exponential distribution is also used to bridge/connect the parametric and nonparametric ...

UCB Algorithm for Exponential Distributions

We introduce in this paper a new algorithm for Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problems. A machine learning paradigm popular within Cognitive Network related topics (e.g., Spectrum Sensing and Allocation). We focus on the case where the rewards are exponentially distributed, which is common when dealing with Rayleigh fading channels. This strategy, named Multiplicative Upper Confidence Bound (MUCB), a...

Some New Characterization Results on Exponential and Related Distributions

On Bivariate Generalized Exponential-Power Series Class of Distributions

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate distributions by compounding the bivariate generalized exponential and power-series distributions. This new class contains the bivariate generalized exponential-Poisson, bivariate generalized exponential-logarithmic, bivariate generalized exponential-binomial and bivariate generalized exponential-negative binomial distributions as specia...

Multivariate matrix-exponential distributions

In this extended abstract we define a class of distributions which we shall refer to as multivariate matrix–exponential distributions (MVME). They are defined in a natural way, inspired by the definition of univariate matrix– exponential distributions, as the distributions on R+ having a rational (multidimensional) Laplace transform. A multidimensional rational function is the fraction between ...
