The average position of the first maximum in a sample of geometric random variables

چکیده
We consider samples of n geometric random variables (Γ1, Γ2,. .. Γn) where P{Γj = i} = pq i−1 , for 1 ≤ j ≤ n, with p + q = 1. The parameter we study is the position of the first occurrence of the maximum value in a such a sample. We derive a probability generating function for this position with which we compute the first two (factorial) moments. The asymptotic technique known as Rice's method then yields the main terms as well as the Fourier expansions of the fluctuating functions arising in the expected value and the variance.

Power Normal-Geometric Distribution: Model, Properties and Applications
In this paper, we introduce a new skewed distribution of which normal and power normal distributions are two special cases. This distribution is obtained by taking geometric maximum of independent identically distributed power normal random variables. We call this distribution as the power normal--geometric distribution. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are presented. Maximu...
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 کاملCombinatorics of geometrically distributed random variables: value and position of large left-to-right maxima
For words of length n, generated by independent geometric random variables , we consider the average value and the average position of the rth left–to–right maximum counted from the right, for fixed r and n → ∞. This complements previous research [5] where the analogous questions were considered for the rth left–to–right maximum counted from the left.
متن کاملComparison of Small Area Estimation Methods for Estimating Unemployment Rate
Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...
