AbstractMotivated by the problem of variance allocation for the sum of dependent random variables, Colini-Baldeschi, Scarsini and Vaccari (2018) recently introduced Shapley values for variance and standard deviation games. These Shapley values constitute a criterion satisfying nice properties useful for allocating the variance and the standard deviation of the sum of dependent random variables. However, since Shapley values are in general computationally demanding, Colini-Baldeschi, Scarsini and Vaccari also formulated a conjecture about the relation of the Shapley values of two games, which they proved for the case of two dependent random variables. In this work we prove that their conjecture holds true in the case of an arbitrary number of independent random variables but, at the same time, we provide counterexamples to the conjecture for the case of three dependent random variables.

AbstractIn the present paper, we study error bounds for approximations to multivariate distributions. In particular, we discuss some general versions of compound multivariate distributions and look at distributions of dependent random variables constructed by linear transforms of independent random variables or vectors. Special attention is paid to the case when the support of the original distribution is restricted. We also look at some applications with multivariate Bernoulli distributions.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate some properties of partial sums for negatively dependent random variables. By using some special numerical functions, and we get some probability inequalities and exponential inequalities of partial sums, which generalize the corresponding results for independent random variables and associated random variables. At last, exponential inequalities and Bernsteins inequality for negatively dependent random variables are presented.

We present the Bernstein-type inequality for widely dependent random variables. By using the Bernstein-type inequality and the truncated method, we further study the strong consistency of estimator of fixed design regression model under widely dependent random variables, which generalizes the corresponding one of independent random variables. As an application, the strong consistency for the nearest neighbor estimator is obtained.

Let, for each n?N, (Xi,n)0?i?nbe a triangular array of stationary, centered, square integrable and associated real valued random variables satisfying the weakly dependence condition lim N?N0limsup n?+8nSr=NnCov (X0,n, Xr,n)=0;where N0is either infinite or the first positive integer Nfor which the limit of the sum nSr=NnCov (X0,n, Xr,n) vanishes as n goes to infinity. The purpose of this paper is to build, from (Xi,n)0?i?n, a sequence of independent random variables (X˜i,n)0?i?nsuch that the two sumsSi=1nXi,nandSi=1nX˜i,nhave the same asymptotic limiting behavior (in distribution).

Let {xn,n ? 1} be a sequence of positive numbers and {?n,n ? 1} be a sequence of nonnegative negatively orthant dependent (NOD) random variables satisfying certain distribution conditions. An exponential inequality for the minimum min1?i?n xi?i is given. In addition, the moment inequalities of the minimum (Ek - min1?i?n|xi?i|p)1/p for nonnegative negatively orthant dependent random variables are established, where p > 0 and k = 1,2,..., n. Our results generalize the corresponding ones for independent random variables to the case of negatively orthant dependent random variables.

A rate of complete convergence for weighted sums of arrays of rowwise independent random variables was obtained by Sung and Volodin (2011). In this paper, we extend this result to negatively associated and negatively dependent random variables. Similar results for sequences ofφ-mixing andρ*-mixing random variables are also obtained. Our results improve and generalize the results of Baek et al. (2008), Kuczmaszewska (2009), and Wang et al. (2010).

Abstract Dimensions of 100 randomly selected wheat seeds of the Smuglyanka variety, rye seeds of the Puhovchanka variety and barley seeds of the Pejas variety were determined by measuring their length (l), width (b) and thickness (h). Results of the measurements were processed by the methods of mathematical statistics; parameters of distributions of individual sizes as random variables were calculated. On the basis of values of variation coefficient, the density function of normal distribution (Gaussian distribution) was taken as a model of individual sizes of seeds. Models of two-dimensional distributions of seed sizes as independent random variables were presented. Correlation coefficients between geometric sizes of seeds were calculated. Obtained values of the correlation coefficients indicate that the geometric sizes of seeds should be considered as dependent random variables. Mathematical models of geometric sizes of studied cereal crops’ seeds as dependent random variables in the form of density functions of their normal distribution were proposed. By values of the sums of squared deviations as a fitting criterion, it was established that the mathematical models of geometric sizes of seeds as dependent random variables in the form of density functions of their normal distribution provide better data approximation than the mathematical models of geometric sizes of some cereal crops’ seeds as independent random variables.

An original technique has been justified for the fast bandwidths selection of kernel functions in a nonparametric estimate of the multidimensional probability density of the Rosenblatt–Parzen type. The proposed method makes it possible to significantly increase the computational efficiency of the optimization procedure for kernel probability density estimates in the conditions of large-volume statistical data in comparison with traditional approaches. The basis of the proposed approach is the analysis of the optimal parameter formula for the bandwidths of a multidimensional kernel probability density estimate. Dependencies between the nonlinear functional on the probability density and its derivatives up to the second order inclusive of the antikurtosis coefficients of random variables are found. The bandwidths for each random variable are represented as the product of an undefined parameter and their mean square deviation. The influence of the error in restoring the established functional dependencies on the approximation properties of the kernel probability density estimation is determined. The obtained results are implemented as a method of synthesis and analysis of a fast bandwidths selection of the kernel estimation of the two-dimensional probability density of independent random variables. This method uses data on the quantitative characteristics of a family of lognormal distribution laws.

Abstract Settling velocity of particles, which is the main parameter of jig separation, is affected by physical (density) and the geometrical properties (size and shape) of particles. The authors worked out a calculation algorithm of particles settling velocity distribution for irregular particles assuming that the density of particles, their size and shape constitute independent random variables of fixed distributions. Applying theorems of probability, concerning distributions function of random variables, the authors present general formula of probability density function of settling velocity irregular particles for the turbulent motion. The distributions of settling velocity of irregular particles were calculated utilizing industrial sample. The measurements were executed and the histograms of distributions of volume and dynamic shape coefficient, were drawn. The separation accuracy was measured by the change of process imperfection of irregular particles in relation to spherical ones, resulting from the distribution of particles settling velocity.
