On the minimum of independent geometrically distributed random variables
The expectations E[X(1)], E[Z(1)], and E[Y(1)] of the minimum of n independent geometric, modified geometric, or exponential random variables with matching expectations differ. We show how this is accounted for by stochastic variability and how E[X(1)]/E[Y(1)] equals the expected number of ties at the minimum for the geometric random variables. We then introduce the “shifted geometric distribut...
متن کاملOn the bounds in Poisson approximation for independent geometric distributed random variables
The main purpose of this note is to establish some bounds in Poisson approximation for row-wise arrays of independent geometric distributed random variables using the operator method. Some results related to random sums of independent geometric distributed random variables are also investigated.
متن کاملAlternating Runs of Geometrically Distributed Random Variables
Run statistics about a sequence of independent geometrically distributed random variables has attracted some attention recently in many areas such as applied probability, reliability, statistical process control, and computer science. In this paper, we first study the mean and variance of the number of alternating runs in a sequence of independent geometrically distributed random variables. The...
متن کاملD-records in Geometrically Distributed Random Variables
We study d–records in sequences generated by independent geometric random variables and derive explicit and asymptotic formulæ for expectation and variance. Informally speaking, a d–record occurs, when one computes the d–largest values, and the variable maintaining it changes its value while the sequence is scanned from left to right. This is done for the “strict model,” but a “weak model” is a...
متن کاملCombinatorics of geometrically distributed random variables: run statistics
For words of length n, generated by independent geometric random variables, we consider the mean and variance, and thereafter the distribution of the number of runs of equal letters in the words. In addition, we consider the mean length of a run as well as the length of the longest run over all words of length n.
