Various limit theorems for ratios from the uniform distribution
In this paper, we consider the ratios of order statistics in samples from uniform distribution and establish strong and weak laws for these ratios.

Complete convergence for arrays of ratios of order statistics
Let {Xn,k, 1 ≤ k ≤ mn, n ≥ 1} be an array of independent random variables from the Pareto distribution. Let Xn(k) be the kth largest order statistic from the nth row of the array and set Rn,in,jn = Xn(jn)/Xn(in) where jn < in. The aim of this paper is to

On the Characterizations of Chen’s Two-Parameter Exponential Power Life-Testing Distribution
Characterizations of probability distributions play important roles in probability and statistics. Before a particular probability distribution model is applied to fit the real world data, it is essential to confirm whether the given probability ...

The Sequential Empirical Process of a Random Walk in Random Scenery [PDF]
A random walk in random scenery $(Y_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is given by $Y_n=\xi_{S_n}$ for a random walk $(S_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and iid random variables $(\xi_n)_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}$.

Analyzing symmetric distributions by utilizing extropy measures based on order statistics
Quantification of the uncertainty of distribution functions, by using entropy and extropy, is important in many statistical analyses. Inspired by this, our study uses extropy and several related measures (including the cumulative residual extropy ...

Empirical processes for recurrent and transient random walks in random scenery [PDF]
In this paper, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence of processes $(W_n(s,t))_{s,t\in[0,1]}$ with \begin{equation*} W_n(s,t):=\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor nt\rfloor}\big(1_{\{\xi_{S_k}\leq s\}}-s\big) \end{equation*} where $(\xi_x, x\in ...

Karhunen-loève basis in goodness-of-fit tests decomposition: an evaluation [PDF]
In a previous paper (Grané and Fortiana 2006) we studied a flexible class of goodness-of-fit tests associated with an orthogonal sequence, the Karhunen-Loève decomposition of a stochastic process derived from the null hypothesis.
