Optimal Design and -Concavity
Tools from advanced real analysis and the Prékopa-Borell Theorem are combined to derive a tight sufficient condition for regularity (R. Myerson, Optimal auction design, Mathematics of Operations Research 6, 1981, pp. 58-73). The conventional log-concavity condition arises as a special case. The approach allows various generalizations, for instance to multidimensional types. Regularity is verifi...
متن کاملConcavity and efficient points of discrete distributions in probabilistic programming
We consider stochastic programming problems with probabilistic con straints involving integer valued random variables The concept of a p e cient point of a probability distribution is used to derive various equivalent problem formula tions Next we introduce the concept of r concave discrete probability distributions and analyse its relevance for problems under consideration These notions are us...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
15 صفحه اولClassification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...
متن کاملLog-concavity of Stirling Numbers and Unimodality of Stirling Distributions
A series of inequalities involving Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds with adjacent indices are obtained. Some of them show log-concavity of Stirling numbers in three different directions. The inequalities are used to prove unimodality or strong unimodality of all the subfamilies of Stirling probability functions. Some additional applications are also presented.
