The Alpha-Logarithmic Series Distribution of Order [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2016
Here we develop an order k version of the alpha-logarithmic series distribution of Kumar and Riyaz (South African Statist. J., 2014) through its probability generating function and derive its probability mass function, mean and variance.

Probability of Boundary Conditions in Quantum Cosmology [PDF]

, 2017
One of the main interest in quantum cosmology is to determine boundary conditions for the wave function of the universe which can predict observational data of our universe.

Measuring Instantaneous and Spectral Information Entropies by Shannon Entropy of Choi-Williams Distribution in the Context of Electroencephalography

Entropy, 2014
The theory of Shannon entropy was applied to the Choi-Williams time-frequency distribution (CWD) of time series in order to extract entropy information in both time and frequency domains.

Ruling out QCD phase transition as a PBH origin of LIGO/Virgo events

SciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023
The best-motivated scenario for a sizable primordial black hole (PBH) contribution to the LIGO/Virgo binary black hole mergers invokes the QCD phase transition, which naturally enhances the probability to form PBH with masses of stellar scale.

Eclipsing Binaries Showing Light Time Effect

, 2007
Four eclipsing binaries, which show apparent changes of period, have been studied with respect to a possible presence of the light time effect. With a least squares method we calculated new light elements of these systems, the mass function of the ...

Applications of Fuss-Catalan Numbers to Success Runs of Bernoulli Trials

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2016
In a recent paper, the authors derived the exact solution for the probability mass function of the geometric distribution of order k, expressing the roots of the associated auxiliary equation in terms of generating functions for Fuss-Catalan numbers ...

An alternative hyper-Poisson distribution

Statistica, 2013
An alternative form of hyper-Poisson distribution is introduced through its probability mass function and studies some of its important aspects such as mean, variance, expressions for its raw moments, factorial moments, probability generating function ...

Estimating a probability mass function with unknown labels

The Annals of Statistics, 2017
In the context of a species sampling problem we discuss a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimator for the underlying probability mass function. The estimator is known in the computer science literature as the high profile estimator. We prove strong consistency and derive the rates of convergence, for an extended model version of the estimator.
