Beta-gamma tail asymptotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute the tail asymptotics of the product of a beta random variable and a generalized gamma random variable which are independent and have general parameters. A special case of these asymptotics were proved and used in a recent work of Bubeck, Mossel, and Rácz in order to determine the tail asymptotics of the maximum degree of the preferential attachment tree. The proof presented here is simpler and highlights why these asymptotics hold.

Modeling Service-time Distributions with Non-exponential Tails: Beta Mixtures of Exponentials
Motivated by interest in probability density functions (pdf’s) with nonexponential tails in queueing and related areas, we introduce and investigate two classes of beta mixtures of exponential pdf’s. These classes include distributions introduced by Boxma and Cohen (1997) and Gaver and Jacobs (1998) to study queues with long-tail service-time distributions. When the standard beta pdf is used as...
متن کاملOn an Extension of Extended Beta and Hypergeometric Functions
Abstract. Motivated mainly by certain interesting recent extensions of the Gamma, Beta and hypergeometric functions, we introduce here new extensions of the Beta function, hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions. We systematically investigate several properties of each of these extended functions, such as their various integral representations, Mellin transforms, derivatives, tran...
متن کاملTail Asymptotics under Beta Random Scaling
Abstract: Let X,Y,B be three independent random variables such that X has the same distribution function as Y B. Assume that B is a beta random variable with positive parameters α, β and Y has distribution function H with H(0) = 0. Pakes and Navarro (2007) show under some mild conditions that the distribution function Hα,β of X determines H . Based on that result we derive in this paper a recur...
متن کاملTail asymptotics for exponential functionals of Lévy processes
Motivated by recent studies in financial mathematics and other areas, we investigate the exponential functional Z = ∫∞ 0 e−X(t)dt of a Lévy process X(t), t ≥ 0. In particular, we investigate its tail asymptotics. It is shown that, depending on the right tail of X(1), the tail behavior of Z is exponential, Pareto, or extremely heavy-tailed.
متن کاملAsymptotics of Closed Fork and Join Queues with Subexponential Service Times
We consider a closed fork and join queueing network where several lines feed a single assembly station. Under the assumption that at least one service time distribution is subexponential, we obtain the tail asymptotics of transient cycle times and waiting times. We also discuss under which conditions these results can be generalized to the tail asymptotics of stationary cycle times and waiting ...
