Probability Generating Functions for Discrete Real Valued Random Variables
The probability generating function is a powerful technique for studying the law of finite sums of independent discrete random variables taking integer positive values. For real valued discrete random variables, the well known elementary theory of Dirichlet series and the symbolic computation packages available nowadays, such as Mathematica 5 TM, allows us to extend to general discrete random v...
متن کاملUniformly Generating Distribution Functions for Discrete Random Variables
An algorithm is presented which, with optimal efficiency, solves the problem of uniform random generation of distribution functions for an n-valued random variable.
متن کاملProbability Generating Functions for Sattolo’s Algorithm
In 1986 S. Sattolo introduced a simple algorithm for uniform random generation of cyclic permutations on a fixed number of symbols. Recently, H. Prodinger analysed two important random variables associated with the algorithm, and found their mean and variance. H. Mahmoud extended Prodinger’s analysis by finding limit laws for the same two random variables.The present article, starting from the ...
متن کاملProbability on Finite Set and Real-Valued Random Variables
One can prove the following four propositions: (1) Let X be a non empty set, S1 be a σ-field of subsets of X, M be a σ-measure on S1, f be a partial function from X to R, E be an element of S1, and a be a real number. Suppose f is integrable on M and E ⊆ dom f and M(E) < +∞ and for every element x of X such that x ∈ E holds a ≤ f(x). Then R(a) ·M(E) ≤ ∫ f E dM. (2) Let X be a non empty set, S1 ...
متن کاملProbability generating functions of absolute difference of two random variables.
Communicated by Jerzy Neyman, August 1, 1966 1. All random variables considered in this note are nonnegative and integervalued. Generically, the probability generating functions (P. G. F.) of such variables are denoted by G with subscripts identifying the random variables concerned. The argument, or arguments of the P. G. F., denoted by either u or v, will be assumed to have their moduli less t...
