Asymptotic Expansions for Infinite Weighted Convolutions of Heavy Tail Distributions and Applications
Ph. Barbe and W.P. McCormick CNRS, France, and University of Georgia Abstra t. We establish some asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolution of distributions having regular varying tails. Various applications to statistics and probability are developed. AMS 2000 Subje t Classi ations: Primary: 41A60, 60F99. Secondary: 41A80, 44A35, 60E07, 60G50, 60K05, 60K25, 62E17, 62G32.
متن کاملOrdered Random Variables from Discontinuous Distributions
In the absolutely continuous case, order statistics, record values and several other models of ordered random variables can be viewed as special cases of generalized order statistics, which enables a unified treatment of their theory. This paper deals with discontinuous generalized order statistics, continuing on the recent work of Tran (2006). Specifically, we show that in general neither re...
متن کاملVariational Cumulant Expansions for Intractable Distributions
Intractable distributions present a common diiculty in inference within the proba-bilistic knowledge representation framework and variational methods have recently been popular in providing an approximate solution. In this article, we describe a perturbational approach in the form of a cumulant expansion which, to lowest order, recovers the standard Kullback-Leibler variational bound. Higher-or...
متن کاملMulti-Tail Elliptical Distributions
In this paper we present a new type of multivariate distributions for asset returns which we call the multi-tail elliptical distributions. Multi-tail elliptical distribution can be thought to be an extension of the elliptical distributions that allow for varying tail parameters. We present a two-step random mechanism leading to this new type of distributions. In particular, this mechanism is de...
متن کاملNegative Weibull tail-distributions
We propose a new family of distributions referred to as Weibull taildistributions. This family is designed to model left tails with exponential behavior. The exponent can be estimated using inference procedures adapted from the Weibull tail-distributions literature. Let us define a negative Weibull tail-distribution through its distribution function by: F (x) = exp {
