Molecular Weight Distribution Control for Polymerization Processes Based on the Moment-Generating Function [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 The molecular weight distribution is an important factor that affects the properties of polymers. A control algorithm based on the moment-generating function was proposed to regulate the molecular weight distribution for polymerization processes in this ...

Applying the Moment Generating Functions to the Study of Probability Distributions [PDF]
Informatică economică, 2007 In this paper, we describe a tool to aid in proving theorems about random variables, called the moment generating function, which converts problems about probabilities and expectations into problems from calculus about function values and derivates.

Some Families of Jensen-like Inequalities with Application to Information Theory
Entropy, 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]
Anais 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]
Journal 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 ...

Frontiers 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
Entropy, 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
Revstat 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
Journal 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.
