A Generalization of “Expectation Equals Reciprocal of Intensity” to Nonstationary Exponential Distributions

چکیده

An observer watches one of a set of Poisson streams. He may switch from one stream to another instantaneously. If an arrival occurs in a stream while the observer is watching another stream, he does not see the arrival. The experiment terminates when the observer sees an arrival. We derive a formula which states essentially that the expected total time that the observer watches a stream is equal to the probability that he sees the arrival in this stream divided by the intensity of the stream. This formula is valid independently of the observation policy. We also discuss applications of this formula.

The Exponentiated Generalized NH Distribution

Nadarajah and Haghighi (2011) introduced a new generalization of the exponential distribution as an alternative to the gamma, Weibull and exponeniated exponential distributions. In this paper, a generalization of the Nadarajah– Haghighi (NH) distribution namely exponentiated generalized NH distribution is introduced and discussed. The properties and applications of proposed model to real dat...

A Discrete Kumaraswamy Marshall-Olkin Exponential Distribution

Finding new families of distributions has become a popular tool in statistical research. In this article, we introduce a new flexible four-parameter discrete model based on the Marshall-Olkin approach, namely, the discrete Kumaraswamy Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution. The proposed distribution can be viewed as another generalization of the geometric distribution and enfolds some importan...

On Bivariate Generalized Exponential-Power Series Class of Distributions

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate distributions by compounding the bivariate generalized exponential and power-series distributions. This new class contains the bivariate generalized exponential-Poisson, bivariate generalized exponential-logarithmic, bivariate generalized exponential-binomial and bivariate generalized exponential-negative binomial distributions as specia...

A Model of Lexical Attraction and Repulsion

This paper introduces new methods based on exponential families for modeling the correlations between words in text and speech. While previous work assumed the effects of word co-occurrence statistics to be constant over a window of several hundred words, we show that their influence is nonstationary on a much smaller time scale. Empirical data drawn from English and Japanese text, as well as c...
