Let P0 be a probability on the real line generating a natural exponential family (Pt)t∈ℝ. Fix α in (0, 1). We show that the property that Pt((−∞, t)) ≤ α ≤ Pt((−∞, t]) for all t implies that there exists a number μα such that P0 is the Gaussian distribution N(μα, 1). In other terms, if for all t, the number t is a quantile of Pt associated to some threshold α ∈ (0, 1), then the exponential family must be Gaussian. The case α = 1∕2, i.e. when t is always a median of Pt, has been considered in Letac et al. [Statist. Prob. Lett. 133 (2018) 38–41]. Analogously let Q be a measure on [0, ∞) generating a natural exponential family (Q−t)t>0. We show that Q−t([0, t−1)) ≤ α ≤ Q−t([0, t−1]) for all t > 0 implies that there exists a number p = pα > 0 such that Q(dx) ∝ xp−1dx, and thus Q−t has to be a gamma law with parameters p and t.

According to the Heyde theorem the Gaussian distribution on the real line is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of independent random variables given the other. We prove an analogue of this theorem for linear forms of two independent random variables taking values in an -adic solenoid containing no elements of order 2. Coefficients of the linear forms are topological automorphisms of the -adic solenoid.

The fractional integrals of Bessel-type Fractional Integrals from left-sided and right-sided integrals of fractional order is established on finite and infinite interval of the real-line, half axis and real axis. The Bessel-type fractional derivatives are also established. The properties of Fractional derivatives and integrals are studied. The fractional derivatives of Bessel-type of fractional order on finite of the real-line are studied by graphical representation. Results are direct output of the computer algebra system coded from MATLAB R2011b.

The Relationship

Let F=Fθ:θ∈Θ⊂R be a family of probability distributions indexed by a parameter θ and let X1,⋯,Xn be i.i.d. r.v.’s with L(X1)=Fθ∈F. Then, F is said to be reproducible if for all θ∈Θ and n∈N, there exists a sequence (αn)n≥1 and a mapping gn:Θ→Θ,θ⟼gn(θ) such that L(αn∑i=1nXi)=Fgn(θ)∈F. In this paper, we prove that a natural exponential family F is reproducible iff it possesses a variance function which is a power function of its mean. Such a result generalizes that of Bar-Lev and Enis (1986, The Annals of Statistics) who proved a similar but partial statement under the assumption that F is steep as and under rather restricted constraints on the forms of αn and gn(θ). We show that such restrictions are not required. In addition, we examine various aspects of reproducibility, both theoretically and practically, and discuss the relationship between reproducibility, convolution and infinite divisibility. We suggest new avenues for characterizing other classes of families of distributions with respect to their reproducibility and convolution properties .

This article presents some equivalent forms of the common Kuder–Richardson Formula 21 and 20 estimators for nondichotomous data belonging to certain other exponential families, such as Poisson count data, exponential data, or geometric counts of trials until failure. Using the generalized framework of Foster (2020), an equation for the reliability for a subset of the natural exponential family have quadratic variance function is derived for known population parameters, and both formulas are shown to be different plug-in estimators of this quantity. The equivalent Kuder–Richardson Formulas 20 and 21 are given for six different natural exponential families, and these match earlier derivations in the case of binomial and Poisson data. Simulations show performance exceeding that of Cronbach’s alpha in terms of root mean square error when the formula matching the correct exponential family is used, and a discussion of Jensen’s inequality suggests explanations for peculiarities of the bias and standard error of the simulations across the different exponential families.

AbstractIt is shown that any function acting from the real line {\mathbb{R}} into itself can be expressed as a pointwise limit of finite sums of periodic functions. At the same time, the real analytic function {x\rightarrow\exp(x^{2})} cannot be represented as a uniform limit of finite sums of periodic functions and, simultaneously, this function is a locally uniform limit of finite sums of periodic functions. The latter fact needs the techniques of Hamel bases.
