Power Series Distributions

Based on the Weibull-G Power probability distribution family, we have proposed a new family of probability distributions, named by us the Max Weibull-G power series distributions, which may be applied in order to solve some reliability problems. This implies the fact that the Max Weibull-G power series is the distribution of a random variable max (X1 ,X2 ,...XN) where X1 ,X2 ,... are Weibull-G distributed independent random variables and N is a natural random variable the distribution of which belongs to the family of power series distribution. The main characteristics and properties of this distribution are analyzed.

This chapter provides an introduction to some elementary aspects of information theory, including entropy in its various forms. Entropy refers to the level of uncertainty associated with a random variable (or more precisely, the probability distribution of the random variable). When there are two or more random variables, it is worthwhile to study the conditional entropy of one random variable with respect to another. The last concept is relative entropy, also known as the Kullback–Leibler divergence, which measures the “disparity” between two probability distributions. The chapter first considers convex and concave functions before discussing the properties of the entropy function, conditional entropy, uniqueness of the entropy function, and the Kullback–Leibler divergence.

Research Results

Introduction. Mathematical modeling of economic processes is necessary for the unambiguous formulation and solution of the problem. In the economic sphere this is the most important aspect of the activity of any enterprise, for which economic-mathematical modeling is the tool that allows to make adequate decisions. However, economic indicators that are factors of a model are usually random variables. An economic-mathematical model is proposed for calculating the probability distribution function of the result of economic activity on the basis of the known dependence of this result on factors influencing it and density of probability distribution of these factors. Methods. The formula was used to calculate the random variable probability distribution function, which is a function of other independent random variables. The method of estimation of basic numerical characteristics of the investigated functions of random variables is proposed: mathematical expectation that in the probabilistic sense is the average value of the result of functioning of the economic structure, as well as its variance. The upper bound of the variation of the effective feature is indicated. Results. The cases of linear and power functions of two independent variables are investigated. Different cases of two-dimensional domain of possible values of indicators, which are continuous random variables, are considered. The application of research results to production functions is considered. Examples of estimating the probability distribution function of a random variable are offered. Conclusions. The research results allow in the probabilistic sense to estimate the result of the economic structure activity on the basis of the probabilistic distributions of the values of the dependent variables. The prospect of further research is to apply indirect control over economic performance based on economic and mathematical modeling.

SynopsisThis is a study of the family of power series where Σ αnZn has unit radius of convergence and the εn are independent random variables taking the values ±1 with equal probability. It is shown that ifthen almost all these power series take every complex value infinitely often in the unit disk.

In this paper, we discuss statistical families with the property that if the distribution of a random variable X is in , then so is the distribution of Z ∼Bi( X ,  p ) for 0≤ p ≤1. (Here we take Z ∼Bi( X ,  p ) to mean that given X = x ,  Z is a draw from the binomial distribution Bi( x ,  p ).) It is said that the family is closed under binomial subsampling. We characterize such families in terms of probability generating functions and for families with finite moments of all orders we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the family to be closed under binomial subsampling. The results are illustrated with power series and other examples, and related to examples from mathematical biology. Finally, some issues concerning inference are discussed.

Let X1, X2, …, Xn be n independent and identically distributed random variables having the positive binomial probability function1where 0 < p < 1, and T = {1, 2, …, N}. Define their sum as Y=X1 + X2 + … +Xn. The distribution of the random variable Y has been obtained by Malik [2] using the inversion formula for characteristic functions. It appears that his result needs some correction. The purpose of this note is to give an alternative derivation of the distribution of Y by applying one of the results, established by Patil [3], for the generalized power series distribution.

Family Of Distributions

In this paper, we present a new family, depending on additive Weibull random variable as a generator, called the generalized additive Weibull generated-family (GAW-G) of distributions with two extra parameters. The proposed family involves several of the most famous classical distributions as well as the new generalized Weibull-G family which already accomplished by Cordeiro et al. (2015). Four special models are displayed. The expressions for the incomplete and ordinary moments, quantile, order statistics, mean deviations, Lorenz and Benferroni curves are derived. Maximum likelihood method of estimation is employed to obtain the parameter estimates of the family. The simulation study of the new models is conducted. The efficiency and importance of the new generated family is examined through real data sets.

Uniformly Bounded

Let {Xn: n ≥ 1} be a sequence of independent random variables and write Suppose that the random vairables Xn are uniformly bounded by a random variable X in the sense thatSet qn(x) = Pr(|Xn| > x) and q(x) = Pr(|Xn| > x). If qn ≤ q and E|X|r < ∞ with 0 < r < 2 then we have (see Loève(4), 242)where ak = 0, if 0 < r < 1, and = EXk if 1 ≤ r < 2 and ‘a.s.’ stands for almost sure convergence. the purpose of this paper is to study the rates of convergence ofto zero for arbitrary ε > 0. We shall extend to the present context, results of (3) where the case of identically distributed random variables was treated. The techniques used here are strongly related to those of (3).
