2 Poisson approximation for U - max - statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1948, W. Hoeffding introduced a large class of unbiased estimators called U -statistics, defined as the average value of a real-valued k-variate function h calculated at all possible sets of k points from a random sample. In the present paper we investigate the corresponding extreme value analogue, which we shall call U -max-statistics. We are concerned with the behavior of the largest value of such function h instead of its average. Examples of U -max-statistics are the diameter or the largest scalar product within a random sample. U -max-statistics of higher degrees are given by triameters and other metric invariants.

Compound Poisson Approximation For Dissociated Random Variables Via Stein's Method
In the present paper we consider compound Poisson approximation by Stein’s method for dissociated random variables. We present some applications to problems in system reliability. In particular, our examples have the structure of an incomplete U-statistics. We mainly apply techniques from Barbour and Utev, who gave new bounds for the solutions of the Stein equation in compound Poisson approxima...
متن کاملStatistical characterization of the interchange-instability spectrum of a separable ideal-magnetohydrodynamic model system.
A Suydam-unstable circular cylinder of plasma with periodic boundary conditions in the axial direction is studied within the approximation of linearized ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The normal mode equations are completely separable, so both the toroidal Fourier harmonic index n and the poloidal index m are good quantum numbers. The full spectrum of eigenvalues in the range 1< or = m < or ...
متن کاملA continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE
The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...
متن کاملFine Gaussian fluctuations on the Poisson space II : rescaled kernels , marked processes and geometric U - statistics
Continuing the analysis initiated in Lachièze-Rey and Peccati (2011), we use contraction operators to study the normal approximation of random variables having the form of a U -statistic written on the points in the support of a random Poisson measure. Applications are provided: to subgraph counting, to boolean models and to coverage of random networks.
متن کاملOn the bounds in Poisson approximation for independent geometric distributed random variables
The main purpose of this note is to establish some bounds in Poisson approximation for row-wise arrays of independent geometric distributed random variables using the operator method. Some results related to random sums of independent geometric distributed random variables are also investigated.
