A Review of Results on Sums of Random Variables

Sums of random variables arise naturally in wireless communications and related areas. Here, we provide a review of the known results on sums of exponential, gamma, lognormal, Rayleigh and Weibull random variables. A discussion is provided of two applications. We expect that this review could serve as a useful reference and help to advance further research in this area.     

Towards a unification of certain characterizations by conditional expectations

The paper presents a characterization of a general family of distributions by the form of the expectation of an appropriately truncated function of the random variable involved. The obtained result unifies results existing in the literature for specific distributions as well as new results that appear for the first time in this paper. A discrete version is also provided unifying existing characterizations of known discrete distributions.     

Asymptotic Distribution of a Kind of Dirichlet Distribution

The Dirichlet distribution that we are concerned with in this paper is very special, in which all parameters are different from each other. We prove that the asymptotic distribution of this kind of Dirichlet distributions is a normal distribution by using the central limit theorem and Slutsky theorem.

Exponential Mixture Representation of Geometric Stable Distributions

We show that every strictly geometric stable (GS) random variable can be represented as a product of an exponentially distributed random variable and an independent random variable with an explicit density and distribution function. An immediate application of the representation is a straightforward simulation method of GS random variables. Our result generalizes previous representations for the special cases of Mittag-Leffler and symmetric Linnik distributions.     

New examples of heavy-tailed O-subexponential distributions and related closure properties

Let L and S denote the classes of distributions with long tails and subexponential tails respectively. Let OS denote the class of distributions with O-subexponential tails, which means the distributions with the tails having the same order as the tails of their 2-fold convolutions. In this paper, we first construct a family of distributions without finite means in L∩OS?S. Next some distributions in L∩OS?S, which possess finite means or even finite higher moments, are also constructed. In connection with this, we prove that the class OS is closed under minimization of random variables. However, it is not closed under maximization of random variables.     

A result of shepp

A simple direct proof is given of a result due to L. Shepp that a certain function of two independent normal random variables with zero means and possibly unequal variances is itself normal.     

On Moments of Folded and Truncated Multivariate Normal Distributions

Recurrence relations for integrals that involve the density of multivariate normal distributions are developed. These recursions allow fast computation of the moments of folded and truncated multivariate normal distributions. Besides being numerically efficient, the proposed recursions also allow us to obtain explicit expressions of low-order moments of folded and truncated multivariate normal distributions. Supplementary material for this article is available online.

正态分布和瑞利分布混合情形下的参数估计及分类问题

学者往往用单一的分布模拟和拟合杂波,如正态分布、瑞利分布和威布尔分布等。然而在实际中,雷达杂波由多种类型的杂波组成,单一分布通常不能精确刻画雷达杂波规律,因此,应用混合分布模型对雷达杂波数据建模更准确。本文考虑用正态分布和瑞利分布的混合分布拟合杂波,并应用矩估计方法和基于EM算法的极大似然估计方法估计模型参数,最后,应用最大后验概率分类准则验证2种估计方法的分类准确率。通过数据模拟,得出极大似然估计的效果和分类准确率都要优于矩估计的估计效果和分类准确率。

Wavelet modeling of priors on triangles

Parameters in statistical problems often live in a geometry of certain shape. For example, count probabilities in a multinomial distribution belong to a simplex. For these problems, Bayesian analysis needs to model priors satisfying certain constraints imposed by the geometry. This paper investigates modeling of priors on triangles by use of wavelets constructed specifically for triangles. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that our modeling is flexible and is superior to the commonly used Dirichlet prior.
