Some Families of Jensen-like Inequalities with Application to Information Theory

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
It is well known that the traditional Jensen inequality is proved by lower bounding the given convex function, f(x), by the tangential affine function that passes through the point (E{X},f(E{X})), where E{X} is the expectation of the random variable X ...

A competitive family to the Beta and Kumaraswamy generators: Properties, Regressions and Applications [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
We define two new flexible families of continuous distributions to fit real data by compoun-ding the Marshall–Olkin class and the power series distribution. These families are very competitive to the popular beta and Kumaraswamy generators.

A New Generalization of Weighted Geometric Distribution and its Properties [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2017
Discrete distributions are widely used to model lifetime for count data. In this paper we introduce a new generalization of weighted geometric (GWG) distribution with the weight function w(x) = (1−p^{αx})^β whose special case proposes a discrete ...

On the 3D Nature of the Magpie (Aves: Pica pica) Functional Hindlimb Anatomy During the Take-Off Jump

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Take-off is a critical phase of flight, and many birds jump to take to the air. Although the actuation of the hindlimb in terrestrial birds is not limited to the sagittal plane, and considerable non-sagittal plane motion has been observed during take-off

Several Basic Elements of Entropic Statistics

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Inspired by the development in modern data science, a shift is increasingly visible in the foundation of statistical inference, away from a real space, where random variables reside, toward a nonmetrized and nonordinal alphabet, where more general random

On the Distribution of a Quadratic Form in Normal Variates

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2018
It is a well-known theorem in linear models that the idempotency of a matrix is a sufficient and necessary condition for a quadratic form in normal variates to have a chisquare distribution, but its proofs in the early literature were incorrect or ...

Generalized Order Statistics from Marshall–Olkin Extended Exponential Distribution

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2019
A.W. Marshall, I. Olkin, Biometrika. 84 (1997), 641–652, introduced an interesting method of adding a new parameter to an existing distribution. The resulting new distribution is called as Marshall–Olkin extended distribution.

A bimatrix variate gamma distribution

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics, 2022
In this article, a bimatrix gamma distributions is introduced. Various mathematical properties of the proposed distribution like marginal distributions, expected values, entropies, and moment generating function are derived.

A new look at the Heston characteristic function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A new expression for the characteristic function of log-spot in Heston model is presented. This expression more clearly exhibits its properties as an analytic characteristic function and allows us to compute the exact domain of the moment generating ...
