Generalized Stieltjes Transforms of Compactly-Supported Probability Distributions: Further Examples
For two families of beta distributions, we show that the generalized Stieltjes transforms of their elements may be written as elementary functions (powers and fractions) of the Stieltjes transform of the Wigner distribution. In particular, we retrieve the examples given by the author in a previous paper and relating generalized Stieltjes transforms of special beta distributions to powers of (or...
متن کاملThe Fourier-series method for inverting transforms of probability distributions
This paper reviews the Fourier-series method for calculating cumulative distribution functions (cdf’s) and probability mass functions (pmf’s) by numerically inverting characteristic functions, Laplace transforms and generating functions. Some variants of the Fourier-series method are remarkably easy to use, requiring programs of less than fifty lines. The Fourier-series method can be interprete...
متن کاملNumerical Inversion of Laplace Transforms of Probability Distributions
The purpose of this document is to summarize main points of the paper, “Numerical Inversion of Laplace Transforms of Probability Distributions”, and provide R code for the Euler method that is described in the paper. The code is used to invert the Laplace transform of some popular functions. Context Laplace transform is a useful mathematical tool that one must be familiar with, while doing appl...
متن کاملLaplace Transforms of Probability Distributions and Their Inversions Are Easy on Logarithmic Scales
It is shown that, when expressing arguments in terms of their logarithms, the Laplace transform of a function is related to the antiderivative of this function by a simple convolution. This allows efficient numerical computations of moment-generating functions of positive random variables and their inversion. The application of the method is straightforward, apart from the necessity to implemen...
متن کاملBounds on marginal probability distributions
We propose a novel bound on single-variable marginal probability distributions in factor graphs with discrete variables. The bound is obtained by propagating local bounds (convex sets of probability distributions) over a subtree of the factor graph, rooted in the variable of interest. By construction, the method not only bounds the exact marginal probability distribution of a variable, but also...
