Expressing a probability density function in terms of another PDF: A generalized Gram-Charlier expansion
نویسنده
چکیده
An explicit formula relating the probability density function with its cumulants is derived and discussed. A generalization of the Gram-Charlier expansion is presented, allowing to express one PDF in terms of another. The coefficients of this general expansion are explicitly obtained.

The Gram-Charlier A Series based Extended Rule-of-Thumb for Bandwidth Selection in Univariate and Multivariate Kernel Density Estimations
The article derives a novel Gram-Charlier A (GCA) Series based Extended Rule-of-Thumb (ExROT) for bandwidth selection in Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). There are existing various bandwidth selection rules achieving minimization of the Asymptotic Mean Integrated Square Error (AMISE) between the estimated probability density function (PDF) and the actual PDF. The rules differ in a way to estima...
متن کاملApplication of the Gram-Charlier Approximation for Option Valuation
The Hermite polynomials form the basis of a Hilbert space and may be used to get an expansion of the probability density function. Usually, this series is called Gram-Charlier. For practical purposes, only the first few terms of this expansion are taken into consideration. The resulting truncated series may be viewed as the normal probability density function multiplied by a polynomial that acc...
متن کاملChallenges in Reconstructing the Propagator via a Cumulant Expansion of the One-Dimensional q-space NMR signal
Generalized Diffusion Tensor Imaging (GDTI) [1] is one of the few methods that estimate the ensemble average diffusion propagator from the diffusion weighted signal. It has a statistical approach and views the signal, which under the q-space formalism is the Fourier transform of the propagator, as the characteristic function of the propagator. Instead of taking the inverse Fourier transform of ...
متن کاملInvariance Properties and Performance Evaluation of Bit Decoding Algorithms
Certain properties of optimal bitwise APP (A Posteriori Probability) decoding of binary linear block codes are studied. The focus is on the Probability Density Function (pdf) of the bit Log-Likelihood-Ratio (LLR). A general channel model with discrete (not necessarily binary) input and discrete or continuous output is considered. It is proved that under a set of mild conditions on the channel, ...
متن کاملProbabilistic load flow with wind production uncertainty using cumulants and Cornish¬タモFisher expansion
This paper proposes a method for probabilistic load flow in networks with wind generation, where the uncertainty of the production is non-Gaussian. The method is based on the properties of the cumulants of the probability density functions (PDF) and the Cornish–Fisher expansion, which is more suitable for non-Gaussian PDF than other approaches, such as Gram–Charlier series. The paper includes e...
