Distribution Function, Probability Generating Function and Archimedean Generator [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2020
Archimedean copulas form a very wide subclass of symmetric copulas. Most of the popular copulas are members of the Archimedean copulas. These copulas are obtained using real functions known as Archimedean generators. In this paper, we observe that under certain conditions the cumulative distribution functions on (0, 1) and probability generating ...

Empirical probability generating function

Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 1993
Abstract A convenient approach to the statistical analysis of distributions for counts is possible using the empirical probability generating function. In this paper we give an overview of recent results and show the usefulness and advantages of this methodology.

Numerical inversion of probability generating functions

Operations Research Letters, 1992
The authors provide an algorithm to approximate the discrete probability distribution \((p_ k)_{k\geq 0}\) when only the probability generating function \(G(z)=\sum_{k=0}^ \infty q_ k z^ k\), \(z\in\mathbb{C}\), \(| z|

On Bounds for Probability Generating Functions

Australian Journal of Statistics, 1981
SummaryBrook (1966) gave an upper bound for the moment generating function (m.g.f.) of a positive random variable (r.v.) in terms of its moments, and used this to obtain an upper bound for the probability generating function (p.g.f.) and hence the extinction probability of a simple branching process.

Belief Functions and Probability for General Spaces

2010 IEEE International Conference on Granular Computing, 2010
This paper has two major contributions: 1) Shafer’s belief functions are extended from finite sets to general universes (sets). 2) Belief function theory on a universe with countable focal elements is interpreted as a probability theory on the product space $\Omega$ x [0; 1] A counter intuitive point of a belief function is its ignoring the impact of ...

Koenigs function and fractional iterates of probability generating functions

Sbornik: Mathematics, 2002
The author studies various properties of Königs functions. A description of the class of Königs functions corresponding to probability generating functions embeddable in a one-parameter group of functional iterates is given. Cases of the probability generating functions with an interior fixed point, and an attracting boundary point are studied.

Introducing probability generating functions

The Mathematical Gazette, 1977
The idea of a probability generating function seems to be a difficult one for sixth formers, and this may well be because the formalism is introduced too abruptly. The t or z or whatever letter is used in a p.g.f.

Probability Distributions and Generating Functions

2012
The p-dimensional random variable \(X = {[{\textbf{X} }_{1},\ldots,{X}_{p}]}^{\mbox{ T}}\) has a normal distribution, denoted \({\mbox{ N}}_{p}(\boldsymbol\mu,\boldsymbol\Sigma )\), with mean \(\boldsymbol\mu = {[{\mu }_{1},\ldots,{\mu }_{p}]}^{\mbox{ T}}\) and p ×p variance–covariance matrix \(\Sigma \) if its density is of the form $$p(\textbf{x}
