A General Projection Property for Distribution Families
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surjectivity of linear projections between distribution families with fixed mean and covariance (regardless of dimension) is re-derived by a new proof. We further extend this property to distribution families that respect additional constraints, such as symmetry, unimodality and log-concavity. By combining our results with classic univariate inequalities, we provide new worst-case analyses for natural risk criteria arising in classification, optimization, portfolio selection and Markov decision processes.

A Family of Selective Partial Update Affine Projection Adaptive Filtering Algorithms
In this paper we present a general formalism for the establishment of the family of selective partial update affine projection algorithms (SPU-APA). The SPU-APA, the SPU regularized APA (SPU-R-APA), the SPU partial rank algorithm (SPU-PRA), the SPU binormalized data reusing least mean squares (SPU-BNDR-LMS), and the SPU normalized LMS with orthogonal correction factors (SPU-NLMS-OCF) algorithms...
متن کاملDo We Need Discipline-Specific Academic Word Lists? Linguistics Academic Word List (LAWL)
This corpus-based study aimed at exploring the most frequently-used academic words in linguistics and compare the wordlist with the distribution of high frequency words in Coxhead’s Academic Word List (AWL) and West’s General Service List (GSL) to examine their coverage within the linguistics corpus. To this end, a corpus of 700 linguistics research articles (LRAC), consisting of approximately ...
متن کاملParametric investigation of autofrettage process in thick spherical vessel made of functionally graded materials
In this paper, the effect of autofrettage process parameters on the ultimate pressure that functionally graded spherical vessel can tolerate are investigated. FGM properties and autofrettage pressure are considered as important parameters. Assumptions are variation of properties of FGM in radial direction, the residual stress in the absence of Bauschinger effect with the operation of variable m...
متن کاملA projection property for buildings
There are two motivations for studying the question whether X has the projection property. Firstly, Arrow's \dictator theorem" states that the only maps of a product X A to X with certain properties are the projections (see A], PRS]). Secondly, the projection property is closely related to the xed point property (see C]). For a detailed discussion of the projection property, its background and ...
متن کاملParacompactness on supra topological spaces
In this article, we present the concept of supra paracompact spaces and study its basic properties. We elucidate its relationship with supra compact spaces and prove that the property of being a supra paracompact space is weakly hereditary and topological properties. Also, we provide some examples to show some results concerning paracompactness on topology are invalid on supra topology. Finally...
