چکیده

Let X1,X2, ... be independent and symmetric random variables such that Sn = X1+ ...+Xn converges to a finite valued random variable S a.s. and let S = sup1≤n<∞ Sn (which is finite a.s.). We construct upper and lower bounds for sy and s ∗ y, the upper 1 y th quantile of Sy and S , respectively. Our approximations rely on an explicitly computable quantity q y for which we prove that 1 2 q y/2 < s∗y < 2q2y and 1 2 q y 4 (1+ √ 1−8/y) < sy < 2q2y. The RHS’s hold for y ≥ 2 and the LHS’s for y ≥ 94 and y ≥ 97, respectively. Although our results are derived primarily for symmetric random variables, they apply to non-negative variates and extend to an absolute value of a sum of independent but otherwise arbitrary random variables.

Recurrence Relations for Moment Generating Functions of Generalized Order Statistics Based on Doubly Truncated Class of Distributions

In this paper, we derived recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions of nonadjacent generalized order statistics (GOS) of random samples drawn from doubly truncated class of continuous distributions. Recurrence relations for joint moments of nonadjacent GOS (ordinary order statistics (OOS) and k-upper records (k-RVs) as special cases) are obtained. Single and product moment gene...

A Note on the Smooth Estimator of the Quantile Function with Left-Truncated Data

This note focuses on estimating the quantile function based on the kernel smooth estimator under a truncated dependent model. The Bahadurtype representation of the kernel smooth estimator is established, and from the Bahadur representation it can be seen that this estimator is strongly consistent.

Bayesian Prediction Intervals under Bivariate Truncated Generalized Cauchy Distribution

Ateya and Madhagi (2011) introduced a multivariate form of truncated generalized Cauchy distribution (TGCD), which introduced by Ateya and Al-Hussaini (2007). The multivariate version of (TGCD) is denoted by (MVTGCD). Among the features of this form are that subvectors and conditional subvectors of random vectors, distributed according to this distribution, have the same form of distribution ...
