Sums of a Random Number of Random Variables and Their Approximations with Ν-accompanying Infinitely Divisible Laws

چکیده
In this paper a general theory of a random number of random variables is constructed. A description of all random variables ν admitting an analog of the Gaussian distribution under ν-summation, that is, the summation of a random number ν of random terms, is given. The ν-infinitely divisible distributions are described for these ν-summations and finite estimates of the approximation of ν-sum distributions with the help of ν-accompanying infinitely divisible distributions are given. The results include, in particular, the description of geometrically infinitely divisible and geometrically stable distributions as well as their domains of attraction.

A random variableX is geometrically infinitely divisible iff for every p ∈ (0, 1) there exists random variable Xp such that X d = ∑T (p) k=1 Xp,k, where Xp,k’s are i.i.d. copies of Xp, and random variable T (p) independent of {Xp,1, Xp,2, . . .} has geometric distribution with the parameter p. In the paper we give some new characterization of geometrically infinitely divisible distribution. The...

A probability distribution function is said to be infinitely divisible if for every positive integer n it may be expressed as the convolution of n copies of some other distribution function . It was proved by Khinchine that the class of such laws coincides with the class of all limit laws of sums of independent infinitesimal random variables . For this reason they play an important role in many...
متن کاملModeling of Infinite Divisible Distributions Using Invariant and Equivariant Functions
Basu’s theorem is one of the most elegant results of classical statistics. Succinctly put, the theorem says: if T is a complete sufficient statistic for a family of probability measures, and V is an ancillary statistic, then T and V are independent. A very novel application of Basu’s theorem appears recently in proving the infinite divisibility of certain statistics. In addition ...
متن کاملOn Some Limit Distributions for Geometric Random Sums
We define and give the various characterizations of a new subclass of geometrically infinitely divisible random variables. This subclass, called geometrically semistable, is given as the set of all these random variables which are the limits in distribution of geometric, weighted and shifted random sums. Introduced class is the extension of, considered until now, classes of geometrically stable...
