چکیده

In an infinite sequence of independent Bernoulli trials with success probabilities pk = a/(a + b + k − 1) for k = 1, 2, 3, . . . , let Nr be the number of r ≥ 2 consecutive successes. Expressions for the first two moments of Nr are derived. Asymptotics of the probability of no occurrence of r consecutive successes for large r are obtained. Using an embedding in a marked Poisson process, it is indicated how the distribution ofNr can be calculated for small r .

On the Properties of Pseudo Noise Sequences with a Simple Proposal of Randomness Test

Maximal length sequences (m-sequences) are also known as pseudo random sequences or pseudo noise sequences for closely following Golomb’s popular randomness properties: (P1) balance, (P2) run, and (P3) ideal autocorrelation. Apart from these, there also exist certain other less known properties of such sequences all of which are discussed in this tutorial paper. Comprehensive proofs to each of ...

A MAXIMAL Lp-INEQUALITY FOR STATIONARY SEQUENCES AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The paper aims to establish a new sharp Burkholder-type maximal inequality in Lp for a class of stationary sequences that includes martingale sequences, mixingales and other dependent structures. The case when the variables are bounded is also addressed, leading to an exponential inequality for a maximum of partial sums. As an application we present an invariance principle for partial sums of c...

Some Aspects about Seismology of 2012 August 11 Ahar-Vaezaghan (Azarbayjan, NW of Persia) Earthquakes Sequences

In 2012 August 11 (12:23 UTC) a moderate earthquake with MW=6.4 (USGS) occurred between Ahar and Varzaghan towns in Azarbayjan Province at northwest of Iran. After eleven minutes another earthquake shook the area with MW=6.2 (USGS). These consecutive earthquakes followed by intensive sequences of aftershocks whereas the strongest one had MW=5.3 (USGS). In data processing including depth modific...

A Note on Embedding Certain Bernoulli Sequences in Marked Poisson Processes

A sequence of independent Bernoulli random variables with success probabilities a/(a+ b + k − 1), k = 1, 2, 3, . . . , is embedded in a marked Poisson process with intensity 1. Using this, conditional Poisson limits follow for counts of failure strings.

Entropy Properties of Certain Record Statistics and Some Characterization Results

In this paper, the largest and the smallest observations are considered, at the time when a new record of either kind (upper or lower) occurs based on a sequence of independent random variables with identical continuous distributions. We prove that sequences of the residual or past entropy of the current records characterizes F in the family of continuous distributions. The exponential and the ...
