Asymptotic Normality Through Factorial Cumulants and Partition Identities
In the paper we develop an approach to asymptotic normality through factorial cumulants. Factorial cumulants arise in the same manner from factorial moments as do (ordinary) cumulants from (ordinary) moments. Another tool we exploit is a new identity for 'moments' of partitions of numbers. The general limiting result is then used to (re-)derive asymptotic normality for several models including ...
متن کاملInverse moments of univariate discrete distributions via the Poisson expansion
In this note we present a series expansion of inverse moments of a non-negative discrete random variate in terms of its factorial cumulants, based on the Poisson-Charlier expansion of a discrete distribution. We apply the general method to the positive binomial distribution and obtain a convergent series for its inverse moments with an error residual that is uniformly bounded on the entire inte...
متن کاملOn 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 کاملCharacterizations of Certain Marshall-Olkin Generalized Distributions
Several characterizations of Marshall-Olkin generalized distributions, introduced by Gui (2013) and by Al-Saiari et al. (2014) are presented. These characterizations are based on: (i) a simple relationship between two truncated moments ; (ii) the hazard function.
متن کاملClassification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...
