Bounds for distribution functions of sums of squares and radial errors
Bounds are found for the distribution function of the sum of squares X2 + Y2 where X and Y are arbitrary continuous random variables. The techniques employed, which utilize copulas and their properties, show that the bounds are pointwise best‐possible when X and Y are symmetric about 0 and yield expressions which can be evaluated explicitly when X and ...

A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality beyond the MTP2 case
A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) is given under the assumption that each component of a centered Gaussian random vector X=(X1,…,Xd){\boldsymbol{X}}=\left({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{d}) of arbitrary length can be written as a ...

Inequalities for Walsh like random variables
Let be a sequence of mean zero independent random variables. Let , and let [Yk] be the linear span of Yk. Assume δ ≤ |Xn| ≤ K for some δ > 0 and K > 0 and let for 1 < p < ∞. We show that for f ∈ [Ym] the following inequalities hold: and ‖f‖2 ≤ C(4,m)2‖f‖1 ≤ C(4,m)2‖f‖2. These generalize various well known inequalities on Walsh functions.

Extremal Lipschitz functions in the deviation inequalities from the mean
We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on probability ...

Background — Anal sac impaction is common in dogs and manual expression may be effective, yet recurrence remains a problem. To facilitate physiological emptying of the sacs, it is important to maintain a bulky stool consistency. Objectives — The study evaluated if supplementation with ProGlan, a complementary feed containing Bacillus velezensis C‐3102 ...

Generalized Hoeffding-Fréchet functionals and mass transportation
This note is concerned with some historical remarks on and a partial review of two interesting mathematical subjects, the generalized Hoeffding-Fréchet functionals and the Monge-Kantorovich mass transportation problem.

On the asymptotic covariance of the multivariate empirical copula process
Genest and Segers (2010) gave conditions under which the empirical copula process associated with a random sample from a bivariate continuous distribution has a smaller asymptotic covariance than the standard empirical process based on a random sample ...

Convergence of the Poincare Constant
The Poincare constant R(Y) of a random variable Y relates the L2 norm of a function g and its derivative g'. Since R(Y) - Var(Y) is positive, with equality if and only if Y is normal, it can be seen as a distance from the normal distribution.

There are no monotone homomorphisms out of the convolution semigroup [PDF]
We prove that there is no nonzero way of assigning real numbers to probability measures on R in a way which is monotone under first-order stochastic dominance and additive under ...
