A Strong Limit Theorem for Functions of Continuous Random Variables and an Extension of the Shannon-McMillan Theorem

Central and Local Limit Theories in Markov Dependent Random Variables

Modeling of ‎I‎nfinite Divisible Distributions Using Invariant and Equivariant Functions

‎Basu’s theorem is one of the most elegant results of classical statistics‎. ‎Succinctly put‎, ‎the theorem says‎: ‎if T is a complete sufficient statistic for a family of probability measures‎, ‎and V is an ancillary statistic‎, ‎then T and V are independent‎. ‎A very novel application of Basu’s theorem appears recently in proving the infinite divisibility of certain statistics‎. ‎In addition ...

The Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective

The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...

An extension theorem for finite positive measures on surfaces of finite‎ ‎dimensional unit balls in Hilbert spaces

A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...

A Note on the Strong Law of Large Numbers

Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...
