Nonlocal Probability Theory: General Fractional Calculus Approach

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Nonlocal generalization of the standard (classical) probability theory of a continuous distribution on a positive semi-axis is proposed. An approach to the formulation of a nonlocal generalization of the standard probability theory based on the use of ...

Approximating probability distributions with short vectors, via information theoretic distance measures

open access: yesInternational Symposium on Information Theory, 2016
Given a probability distribution p = (p1., pn) and an integer m < n, what is the probability distribution q = (q1., qm) that is 'the closest' to p, that is, that best approximates p?

General Nonlocal Probability of Arbitrary Order

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Using the Luchko’s general fractional calculus (GFC) and its extension in the form of the multi-kernel general fractional calculus of arbitrary order (GFC of AO), a nonlocal generalization of probability is suggested. The nonlocal and general fractional (

Generating negations of probability distributions

open access: yesSoft Computing - A Fusion of Foundations, Methodologies and Applications, 2021
Recently, the notation of a negation of a probability distribution was introduced. The need for such negation arises when a knowledge-based system can use the terms like NOT HIGH, where HIGH is represented by a probability distribution (pd). For example,

Limit theorems in bi-free probability theory [PDF]

open access: yesProbability theory and related fields, 2017
In this paper additive bi-free convolution is defined for general Borel probability measures, and the limiting distributions for sums of bi-free pairs of self-adjoint commuting random variables in an infinitesimal triangular array are determined.

Extreme event probability estimation using PDE-constrained optimization and large deviation theory, with application to tsunamis [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, 2020
We propose and compare methods for the estimation of extreme event probabilities in complex systems governed by PDEs. Our approach is guided by ideas from large deviation theory (LDT) and borrows tools from PDE-constrained optimization. The systems under

Probability distributions for the stress tensor in conformal field theories [PDF]

open access: yesLetters in Mathematical Physics, 2018
The vacuum state—or any other state of finite energy—is not an eigenstate of any smeared (averaged) local quantum field. The outcomes (spectral values) of repeated measurements of that averaged local quantum field are therefore distributed according to a

Evaluating probabilistic forecasts of extremes using continuous ranked probability score distributions [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forecasting, 2019
Verification of ensemble forecasts for extreme events remains a challenging question. The general public as well as the media naturely pay particular attention on extreme events and conclude about the global predictive performance of ensembles, which are

Representable Markov Categories and Comparison of Statistical Experiments in Categorical Probability [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2020
Markov categories are a recent categorical approach to the mathematical foundations of probability and statistics. Here, this approach is advanced by stating and proving equivalent conditions for second-order stochastic dominance, a widely used way of ...

A Unified Approach for Generalizing Some Families of Probability Distributions, with Applications to Reliability Theory

open access: yesPakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2018
In this paper, we propose a new method for generating families of continuous distributions based on the star-shaped property which grantees the existences of some well know properties for the generated classes and distributions for any non-negative random variables. We refer to the new class as the composed  family or shortly ( ) family.
