Physics 116C The Distribution of the Sum of Random Variables

چکیده

We have studied Gaussian integrals before and so you should be able to show that the distribution is normalized, and that the mean and standard deviation are μ and σ respectively. The width of the distribution is σ, since the the value of P (x) at x = μ ± σ has fallen to a fixed fraction, 1/ √ e ≃ 0.6065, of its value at x = μ. The probability of getting a value which deviates by n times σ falls off very fast with n as shown in the table below.

A Recursive Approximation Approach of non-iid Lognormal Random Variables Summation in Cellular Systems

Co-channel interference is a major factor in limiting the capacity and link quality in cellular communications. As the co-channel interference is modeled by lognormal distribution, sum of the co-channel interferences of neighboring cells is represented by the sum of lognormal Random Variables (RVs) which has no closed-form expression. Assuming independent, identically distributed (iid) RVs, the...

Log-normal distribution from a process that is not multiplicative but is additive.

The central limit theorem ensures that a sum of random variables tends to a Gaussian distribution as their total number tends to infinity. However, for a class of positive random variables, we find that the sum tends faster to a log-normal distribution. Although the sum tends eventually to a Gaussian distribution, the distribution of the sum is always close to a log-normal distribution rather t...
