Algorithms for computing the distributions of sums of discrete random variables

چکیده
We present algorithms for computing the probablity density function of the sum of two independent discrete random variables, along with an implementation of the algorithm in a computer algebra system. Some examples illustrate the utility of this algorithm. c © 2004 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords—Computer algebra systems, Convolution, Probability.

On discrete a-unimodal and a-monotone distributions
Unimodality is one of the building structures of distributions that like skewness, kurtosis and symmetry is visible in the shape of a function. Comparing two different distributions, can be a very difficult task. But if both the distributions are of the same types, for example both are unimodal, for comparison we may just compare the modes, dispersions and skewness. So, the concept of unimodali...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Computing Limit distributions of Oscillating Systems with Finite Capacity
We address the batch arrival systems with finite capacity under partial batch acceptance strategy where service times or rates oscillate between two forms according to the evolution of the number of customers in the system. Applying the theory of Markov regenerative processes and resorting to Markov chain embedding, we present a new algorithm for computing limit distributions of the number cus...

متن کاملStrong Convergence of Weighted Sums for Negatively Orthant Dependent Random Variables
We discuss in this paper the strong convergence for weighted sums of negatively orthant dependent (NOD) random variables by generalized Gaussian techniques. As a corollary, a Cesaro law of large numbers of i.i.d. random variables is extended in NOD setting by generalized Gaussian techniques.
