Hypercontractivity and comparison of moments of iterated maxima and minima of independent random variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercontractivity of the minima of nonnegative, i.i.d. random variables and of both the maxima of minima and the minima of maxima for such r.v.’s. It turns out that the idea of hypercontractivity for minima is closely related to small ball probabilities and Gaussian correlation inequalities.

On the Ratio of Rice Random Variables
The ratio of independent random variables arises in many applied problems. In this article, the distribution of the ratio X/Y is studied, when X and Y are independent Rice random variables. Ratios of such random variable have extensive applications in the analysis of noises of communication systems. The exact forms of probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) a...

In this article, first of all, the Kumaraswamy distribution is introduced. Then, the joint and marginal distributions of W = X1/X2 and T = X1/X1+X2 where X1 and X2 are independent Kumaraswamy random variables, are obtained and the moments of these random variables are computed. The distribution of random variables W and T can be used in reliability studies and statistical models...
متن کاملSome Probability Inequalities for Quadratic Forms of Negatively Dependent Subgaussian Random Variables
In this paper, we obtain the upper exponential bounds for the tail probabilities of the quadratic forms for negatively dependent subgaussian random variables. In particular the law of iterated logarithm for quadratic forms of independent subgaussian random variables is generalized to the case of negatively dependent subgaussian random variables.

متن کاملSelf-normalized Processes: Exponential Inequalities, Moment Bounds and Iterated Logarithm Laws by Victor
Self-normalized processes arise naturally in statistical applications. Being unit free, they are not affected by scale changes. Moreover, selfnormalization often eliminates or weakens moment assumptions. In this paper we present several exponential and moment inequalities, particularly those related to laws of the iterated logarithm, for self-normalized random variables including martingales. T...
